1) Will there be a DVD release of the film?

 

I hope soon. Maybe a few months.

 

>2) Was there anything Bret wanted you to edit out?

 

no

 

>3) How come the film didn't bring up the backstage altercation Shawn

>Michaels and Bret had?

 

Don't know what you mean . . . I don't know of one. Have never heard there

was one. Don't think there was.

 

>4) How come the film didn't mention the death of Hart Foundation member

>Brian Pillman?

 

We had cut a whole sequence about him, but in the end, there was no time.

 

>5) Was Vince McMahon upset when he found out everything you had on film

>regarding Survivor Series?

 

I have never talked to him since SS, but I have reason to belive at

first he was upset, he didn't expect us to in Montreal filming that

weekend. We were not scheduled to be there. We went because we knew

through Bret that it might be his last WWF match. I think later Vince

realized he could make the whole thing part of his story lines, and then

didn't mind so much about the film.

 

>6) Were there any wrestlers reluctant to break kayfabe?

 

most were

 

>7) How many hours of clips did not make the movie?

 

around 50 hours or more

 

>8) How did the crew feel after the screwjob?

 

mixed. Shocked at what it meant for Bret, but knew it would make a great

ending for the film. Very surprised.

 

>9) Did anyone actually see Bret hit Vince?

 

There were around 20 wrestlers in the room at the time

 

>10)Do you still keep in touch with Bret?

 

yes

 

>11)How does it feel to have a simple biography turn into a cult-favorite

>movie?

 

good

Great stuff, Bob.

:o

My thoughts exactly. If they made the DVD with all those clips, they would need 2-3 extra DVDs just to fill all the stuff in it.

Problem is that a good chunk of those clips will never see the light of day, as the WWE forced the documentary makers to sign a clause in their contract stating that they could not use or show in any shape of form, ANY footage involving Steve Austin and Undertaker in the context of them being anything other than their WWE characters....
