    Harley Race


    Had he been born a couple of decades later, eight-time former National Wrestling Alliance world heavyweight champion Harley Race might have enjoyed the riches and fame of sports entertainers such as The Rock, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, and Goldberg. As it is, Race has to settle with being a well-respected legend who owns his own wrestling federation. Not a bad consolation price. Race's website serves both as a portal for his wrestling league (the WLW) and as an online store for fans to purchase videos. The site is also loaded with photos and information about Race's storied career. If you're a fan of classic wrestling, race (pun intended) on over to this site today!

    I would have paid to see Harley Race and Bruno Sammartino fight in their one hour draw match.

      That takes me back. I remember him with curley hair and sideburns. Seems there wasn't anyone he didn't wrestle.

        I remember seeing him wrestle for the NWA in the mid 70's.


        Think B.A. Where did you hide the Megos?

            You're right about that. I think most of us know him from his "King" Harley gimmick.

              I remember being sad when he debuted as "The King." He was so much better than that. But you have to go where the money is, I guess...

              But there was so much more to Harley Race than his "King" persona! If you're a fan, or just want a good read, you should check out his book:



              It's well worth the thirteen bucks!

                I cut him plenty of slack for "The King" run. It was at the tail end of career and he passed the torch to Ric Flair already in the NWA. Not much left for him there, so you can't knock e legend for wanting to make a few bucks and the end of his career. I remember he & Hulk Hogan actually having some fun matches during his WWF run as well.
