Robert S Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 I recently watched Back to the Territories - AWA with Greg Gagne. It was a pretty good interview, at least for 75 minutes. For the last half hour the bullshit meter was going through the roof with Gagne claiming responsibility for every big thing in North American wrestling between 1984 and 1997.

Jim did a really good job at keeping Greg on track, but once Greg got going, there was no coming back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khawk20 Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Haven't seen that one yet but I did finally get a chance to watch the Gagne RF shoot. Aside from it being standard RF fare question-wise, it was ok. Â Strange that Greg didn't remember the Team Challenge Series but I think that was more RF not knowing exactly what to call it when asking him about it, and it being near the end of the interview. Greg never actually was on a Team in that thing from my recollection--he had retired at that point--so with the writing on the wall him paying no attention to what was going on isn't out of the realm of possibility. Â I did find it sad hearing Greg talking about Verne being too stubborn to sell out or quit when it was obvious that they could still get out with a little bit of savings, and hearing Greg talk about what it cost his family in terms of their savings trying to keep it going too. Greg was in a pretty damn tough spot there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-P Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 That Timeline with Kevin Nash is what youd expect from him. Pretty funny at times. Not exactly deep as far as insight goes, but never boring. You can easily filter through Nash's bullshit, and he comes off like a guy you'd want to have a beer with. Love his Sullivan's impersonation the day after WM XIV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-P Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 That Cornette/Davis shoot could be interesting. Â Meanwhile, I always get a kick out of some 20some indy worker playing the "these young workers don't know how to tell any stories // I had to pay my dues unlike those newcomers" game. Classic.

El-P Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 She's actually hosting the thing for KC. Whoever she is (yeah, I know, she's "Blue Pants", ok, cool, don't get worked up about it).

ButchReedMark Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 I was in disgust at that Mia Yim thing until I realised she pulls exactly the same literal face I do whenever my friends go on about superheroes and comic books and that. So yeah. I love her now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Im curious to know who my fellow shoot interview enthusiasts like best as interviewees - who is most easy to listen to and who is most reliable in terms of the information they provide? I guess also who is the exact opposite?!  My personal favourites are:  Jim Cornette Sean Waltman Raven Kevin Nash  I know Corny is always pretty damn honest and thge other three never (seemingly as far as I know) provided any massive BS moments. Although I am more than willing to be enlightened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButchReedMark Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 I've really gone off Jim Cornette as he's gone from Insightful Storytelling Historian to Rent-A-Rant with his typical targets. He's spent so long bagging on Russo ad nauseam that he's actually close to making Russo a blue eye in my eyes out of spite. Some of my favourite shoot interviewees have been out of left field. For example, I absolutely love John Nord's, and Kevin Kelly (commentator) is a great watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye12 Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 A couple I enjoyed "out of left field" were Luke Williams Guest Booker, where I found out just how instrumental he'd been booking throughout his career as I had no idea he'd been involved in that. And also Eric Embry's shoot where Steve Corino interviews him. Good insight on a lot of things, and I was a big fan of his run as World Class booker so specifically that part was of interest. The Nasty Boys are always a pretty good listen as well, kind of like Raven, where they were a part of enough territories right before they made it big to still have some really good stories from those experiences.

Alucard Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 I really enjoy what I've seen of RVD in shoots and I'll second Kevin Nash as a favorite. For a left field choice, I recently watched some of the Youshoot with ICP and thought they were very funny, real cool and had some great stories.

khawk20 Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 I enjoy Cornette every time I see something new from him. Â ...and almost anyone is listenable and enjoyable to me in the KC Timeline series, especially the 80's stuff. Little tidbits and inside stories from the time when your fandom was at it's peak is always fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
