Those Legends of ECW roundtables with Sandman are pretty funny. Episode 7 had Francine & Jerry Lynn brought to tears listening to Hak tells some of his stories and never shutting up. Warms the heart of this old ECW fan.

 

Agreed I love them as well, Francine and Lynn have a great chemistry and their reactions to Sandman were funny as hell.

That's a bummer. I was so excited for this one and bought it immediately when it became available. Still haven't watched yet. How's the Bundy one?

 

Bundy one was good if you like Bundy's personality and humor, I have only seen 1 other Bundy interview so all the tidbits he throws in outside of talking strictly WWF and WrestleMania II were interesting to hear.

 

But I agree the Orton interview was blah, he didn't really have a lot to add and seems like he was a good hand who was friendly with the the right people which got him the spot and he was just glad to be there and was more about getting drunk and having a good time rather then getting involved in the creative process.

 

So that lifestyle coupled with age, his self admitted aversion to doing interviews and unwillingness to go into any detail over his out of the ring exploits and rather give a hearty chuckle or grin instead when asked leaves him being a pretty mediocre at best guest for something like this.
