Guests for the Q & A are Raven, Shane Douglas, Kid Kash and Terry Funk. Bill Apter hosts it and typically graces us with his Funk impression. Scott Hall makes a drunken cameo towards the end of the disc and Rob Feinstein (who is not hosting this) constantly pipes up from the crowd. Bad feedback with the mics means they ditch them and the audio is pretty low. Didn’t care for this myself and if you have seen the shoots that these guys did previously you will not learn much new from this one.

Hardore Reunion Q & A March 27, 2009 Allentown, PA

An in depth look into ROH and what would have happened if Sapolsky had not been fired. If you are into booking, this is an excellent watch as Sapolsky explains how he would have booked everything, who would have gotten pushes, how he would have pushed them etc. Also talks about a few new ideas he had in the pipeline. At times was a bit too much for me, but all in all an enjoyable watch.
