RichInKC:
You told me a story about your seventh title reign in Japan, and an honor
you were awarded, could you share that story with us?
Harley
Race: Yes. When a samurai swordsman won his seventh battle in the mythical
days of Japan, he was declared a god. When I won the World's Title for
the seventh time, I was declared God of Wrestling in three of the major
newspapers throughout Japan.
RichInKC:
Apparently, the Japanese media covers wrestling in a lot more detail than
a lot of our American media.
Harley
Race: Everything that happens in Japan wrestling-wise is covered like
a major event. If you had a professional football team in your city, it
would be covered exactly the same.
RichInKC:
You have not been active in the sport for a little while. What have you
been doing to keep yourself busy?
Harley
Race: Right now, I do a little bounty hunting. I do a little process serving,
just some things to keep me up and moving around instead of sitting here
and getting all stiff.
RichInKC:
I understand you have a video tape series coming out.
Harley
Race: Yes I do. As a matter of fact, the video about myself will be coming
out this week. I will be debuting the week of April 12th at a national
card signing in the Antioch Mall in Kansas City. There's three of them
out so far, but the one about me just came out.
RichInKC:
What are the other tapes that you have out?
Harley
Race: One is Helloooo Wrestling Fans with our announcer, myself, Bob Giegel,
Bulldog Bob Brown, Mike George and Bill Kirkson.
RichInKC:
You showed me some of the first tape in the series, and I was quite impressed
with it. How can people find out more about this video tape series?
Harley
Race: They can contact Evergreen Video at (816) 374-5828. Their address
is:
