Shoots Review and Preview thread

[flyonthewall2983]

I'm hoping KC and Corny patch things up soon.

What happened?

 

"Cornette has had a falling out with __________" is something you can pretty much set your watch to.

Thread that Mike and El-P were referring to.

 

I wouldn't say that that is necessarily a falling out with KC. He worded it as such that buried Russo without putting too much on them.

Jim hasn't done anything with them since the '97 Timeline, and I know it's *not* because KC isn't interested in doing anything with him.

Bruiser - can I make a request? The new Flair shoot has had really bad reviews. I want to know your take.

Wish I could tell you anything but it is completely forgettable.

Then if that's the case then fine, they have certainly gotten enough out of Jimbo anyway.

Which one is this? Only won I own is a joint Piper/Flair one from Highspots. I can investigate.

[JerryvonKramer]

It's with RF and generally everyone has hated it. For whatever reason, Ric only agreed to discuss his post-2008 career and apparently stone-walled most questions.

[Alucard]

I was always curious about the Rene Dupree shoot, looked pretty interesting from the previews.

Consider this a supplement to my Horsemen review - new shoot review on Thursday with Dusty Rhodes!

Dusty Rhodes buries a lot of people, tells some funny tales and strokes his ego - but first I cover his early years!

I cover Dusty's career from Starcade 83 til retirement and then cover the second half of his shoot interview

I cover the first half of Sullivan's career and then we dive into his shoot on WCW's dying days

The best part of this is Sullivan saying he had signed a three year contract 3 days before being removed from booking. Awesome carny move. Yeah, this was pretty fun to watch.

Part 2 of Sullivan's career and then Sullivan books the WWF in 1984 without Hogan being involved.

[Troy]

A few requests..

 

Timelines with Val, Ivory, and Sabu

[jpchicago23]

Has anyone seen the 96 timeline with Sullivan? I'll be getting it in the next day or two, should be pretty good

[El-P]

The Sullivan Timeline is good.

[MikeCampbell]

Guest Booker with Dutch is another good one.

Bruiser - who are your fave shoot interview team? KC, RF or High Spots? Or someone else?

I really dig KC - especially the Time line series. RF is terrible, haven't seen many High spots shoots.

 

Really in a lot of cases the wrestler can over come RF's shittiness and make for a fun shoot.

Sunny's career is covered and then we delve into her 2012 arrests - in her own words...

In my experience the High Spots guys, unlike the worst of the RF ones, aren't always tremendously eager to fastforward to WWF. They are happy to spend lots of time in early periods in guys' careers. And not just in the 13-hour Flair one either.

[El-P]

Well, Guest Booker with Robert Fuller booking Shawn Michaels in the nWo was a random (and stupid) idea enough, but goddamn if the first 30 minutes or so are watchable because Fuller tells a few stories, I quit after the first 10 minutes of complete meandering nonsense of "fantasy booking" (which is something I don't care about to begin with to be honest, but at least hearing guys like Cornette or Gary Hart explain their ideas was interesting on some level). Really useless stuff.

[Guest Staples]

I liked the Dutch guest booker one, but the actual guest booking seemed to be tacked on. I also watched the Vince Russo shoot with RF after he left TNA a second time. Same standard bullshit, but I found it interesting that he mentioned about being at odds with Christian of all people about views of wrestling.
