slabinskia Posted May 13, 2004 Report Posted May 13, 2004 Not everyone likes shoot interviews but for those who do list your top 3.I don't know if this is the right forum for this or not. 1.j.j. dillon-this guy gives tons of knowledge on wrestling and gives great ideas on booking. 2.bobby heenan-I can listen to this guy anytime.he is one of few that doesn't appear to be full of himself.he said he was just happy to be a part of it. 3.jim cornette-an 8hr shoot that feels like 2.great stories.
Guest Chopper_Kingpin Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 I liked the Honky Tonk Man Shoot. LOL@his ass kicking list Barry Windham The 8 hour Cornette shoot was filled with stories, Good stuff!
Nighthawk Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 I only heard Jerry Lawler's, but I enjoyed it a fair bit.
IWD Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 Cornette's is the greatest. Raven and Christopher Daniels both have a great insight into the business, as does Disco Inferno. Bret Hart's is good too. Jake Roberts' is disturbing on many levels. HBK talks crap. The Road Warriors are very no-hold-barred. I've probably seen 40 or 50 of them, but these are the ones that stand out the most to me. OK.
cawthon777 Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 I haven't seen too many shoots myself (Bret's 2nd and HBK's) but I'd definately recommend the Ole Anderson / Jim Cornette Q&A sessions from Charlotte's Fan Fest back in January. They're both available on RF. I sat in the second row for both, right behind Sensational Sherri (IIRC I think she was only there for Cornette's). Both men are very open to answer what is asked, trash talk everyone from Eric Bischoff to Jim Herd to Paul Heyman to the Briscos, and are as entertaining as they are informative. 4hrs total. Ole was out to shill his book so he doesn't open up as much as he could have but it's about as close to a shoot as you can get.
Only The Strong Survive Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 Where can I find some of these shoots you guys are talking about? Would any be available online or are they only available as rare tapes?
Guest shez316 Posted May 20, 2004 Report Posted May 20, 2004 We get Shoot interviews on The Wrestling Channel 427, over here in the UK. We also get PPVs for free
JJMc Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 I NEVER get tired of: Bobby Heenan, Cornette '00 & '03, Jake Roberts, Honky Tonk Man Great stuff. Especially Cornette '00 and Heenan.
Guest JacK Posted May 22, 2004 Report Posted May 22, 2004 Raven . . . though all I've done is read Mr Brandon Truit's recaps . . . they're superific
therealworldschampion Posted May 30, 2004 Report Posted May 30, 2004 The Cornette 2000 shoot interview owns all
Lil' Bitch Posted May 30, 2004 Report Posted May 30, 2004 Shawn Michaels since I can't believe anything that comes out of his mouth.
Guest sean pyro Posted May 30, 2004 Report Posted May 30, 2004 1. Heenan 2. Al Snow 3. Bret Hart I haven't seen Cornette's 2000, gotta check it out sometime.
1234-5678 Posted May 30, 2004 Report Posted May 30, 2004 Al's is really funny stuff. The guy also has a great, great head for the business.
Guest BAR Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 I've been checking a few out on TWC over here and have enjoyed them all (Heenan, Corny, Bret, etc).
Youth N Asia Posted June 2, 2004 Report Posted June 2, 2004 Mikey Whipwreck Justin Credible Bret Hart Bobby Heenan Jim Cornette 2000 & 2003 Steve Corino vol 2 & 3
1234-5678 Posted June 2, 2004 Report Posted June 2, 2004 What are some of the highlights of Mikey's? Talking about jobbing for Van Hammer on PPV after a fantastic match with Kidman?
Guest dreamer420 Posted June 3, 2004 Report Posted June 3, 2004 I would recommend the Sandman's interview with RF from March or 2001. He has some really hilarous stories and a surprisingly good insight into the business. Also recommended are Bobby Heenan, RVD, and Kevin Sullivan.
Youth N Asia Posted June 3, 2004 Report Posted June 3, 2004 Mikey's is mostly ECW of course. -Talks about what a piece of crap Sonny Blaze was. -He didn't get along with Paul Loria when he came back. -He didn't know of his ppv match with Kidman till a couple days before the show. -Said Steve Austin had no problem putting him over and liked working with him. -A lot about Cactus Jack. And where Cactus would come up with ideas out of nowhere. One where ECW and the local KFC would do a promotion together with Extreme Crunchy Wings or something. "Imagine it, Mikey. Tommy Dreamer on tv stuffing his face with chciken." And the wings would give you $3 or so off your ticket. A really well thought out idea really. Said Cactus had tons of stuff like that. -Got the job in ECW mainly cause after he set up the ring him and his buddies would just screw around in the ring taking bumps. Paul E saw it, gave him a match with Hughes, and the rest was history. -Talks about shit days in WCW. -Said Goldberg was alright, but only had one real encounter with him Bah, gotta go...will post more later
