El-P Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Watching the Miss Jacqueline shoot. Again, RF's ineptness in 2015 is scary. Bad sound because Jackie's hair are *on* the freaking mic all the time. Then, classic RF moment : she talks about her very first match, then one minute and a half later : "Do you remember your first match ?". Seriously ? Anyway, crap interview, but Jackie seems like a really cool girl, and damn, she's 51 and time doesn't seem to have that much grasp on her.

Fando Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 I will guess the guy he's talking about having pleasure firing is the HTM. And right I was. Decent interview, a lot more based on production and operations than wrestling, of course. Not a lot of good stories though, and a lot of "I don't remember the details" indeed. was funny watching him squirm when the issue of independent contractors was brought up. And when we said he preferred to call himself "showrunner" rather than "booker." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidebottom Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Just watched the 2015 Rey Mysterio RF shoot... Man, Rey comes across quite bitter in parts. Although for balance, he does say he doesn't regret a day being with WWE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory there was a tone of him feeling as though he was held back at certain points in his career and that he could have been used better to garner a bigger Spanish audience.

Zero Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 I couldn't disagree more. Rey doesn't come off bitter in the least. He barely made any negative comments about anything. Seems like very positive guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeCampbell Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 The newest WCW Timeline edition: 1985 with Magnum TA is a solid interview, but it's pretty low-key compared to the Cornette and Bischoff editions. Of course, even though it happened in '86, they talk about the accident. Magnum even doubts that he was going to win the strap from Flair at Starrcade. He figures that he'd have worked Nikita, or continued the angle with Jimmy Garvin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrestlingPower Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Yeah Magnum winning the title has been covered in many places. Having heard some of the recent interviews on the topic & fairly recently watching the TV from around when his career ended, it did appear he would be working Nikita at Starrcade. They were grooming him to win from Flair in early 87 it appears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrestlingPower Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 I watched Breaking Kayfabe with Sabu/Terry Brunk. It was interesting & somewhat fascinating to see Sabu in this environment. I hadn't bothered to get any of the other shoots he'd done so a lot of the appeal to me here was just hearing him do an interview like this. Nothing earth shattering or anything so entirely skippable most likely but it held my interest & clocked in at like 78 minutes. It was a bit funny to see how the majority of questions were an attempt to get at what kind of a person the massively private Sheik was moreso than Sabu himself.

The Chief Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Sabu is a guy who I can always listen to because he's so blunt about everything, it's refreshing. He truly doesn't give a fuck about being political. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He figures that he'd have worked Nikita, or continued the angle with Jimmy Garvin. I really enjoyed this edition, Magnum was a solid and interesting interview (as opposed to Vader or Windham in the WCW serie). I kinda got a kick out of him saying that Flair was "very predictable" and that after just a few times, you could have a match with him with your eyes closed because of that… But yeah, this is a good one.

BigBadMick Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Yeah, really enjoyed the Magnum one too. He strikes me as an interesting man, with a considered take on the business. And he didn't deviate often or far from the subject at hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrestlingPower Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 I watched the "Back to the Territories" with JJ Dillon recently and I'm about 1/2 way into the Jim Duggan one. To me they aren't essential viewing whatsoever but are more appealing for the production of the Cornette add-ins to the interview itself. The Dillon one has a few stories I hadn't heard before but both Cornette & Dillon have been so prolific in podcasts, shoots, their books, etc. that those along with the Good Old Days documentary, a lot of this is stuff you'd already know. Like I said aside from a couple road stories, not a whole lot new here unless you want a sampling of the Cornette Mid-Atlantic films matches that are used here. The Duggan one is decent as Duggan is a good story teller & doesn't need a lot of prodding to tell stories. He's not nearly as history & detail oriented as Cornette, he's more of a "fill in some colorful stories" guy in between Cornette giving facts about the territory. Also Duggan hasn't been overexposed in this world either so he has some fresh stuff to say. As with 99% of these things anymore, I'd recommend a stream, download, or $1 disc kind of purchase if you are interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I thought the Mid-South one was the better of the two. I lost interest in the Dillon one because it was mostly stuff I've heard while at least the Mid-South one with Duggan has some funny stories that aren't all beaten to death.

Fando Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 The Hall YouShoot and Nash Breaking Kayfabe are both really entertaining -Hall think's Bret Hart was selfish and a mark for himself but Montreal was a work -Hall buries Russo, Shane Douglas-both go to bat for Hogan-Nash and Michaels took soma before matches, when they kicked in that was their "go home" sign.-never heard this mentioned before, but Nash says they were gettin the somas in WCW from the Mexican wrestlers ("Jars of 500"). -Nash puts over Rollins, Sasha and Bayley-Meltzer is "some guy who can't get laid" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goc Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Yea Rey was pretty clearly the big draw for Smackdown house shows and ratings especially when you look at how badly things dropped off when they moved him to Raw and tried to make Randy Orton the anchor for SD.
