Shoot Interviews
 

For those of you who like "shoot" style interviews where the worker stays out of character and gives their honest assessment of their own careers and what they've seen in the business, I'd suggest this site:

Smart Marks Archive

Not shilling the site or anything, it's just got a good catalog of a lot of reviews of the RF Video shoots. Some of you I'm sure have seen this before, but for those that haven't, several of these are just a must-read. Highly recommend Raven, Bobby Heenan, Vader (esp for Japan fed fans), Bret Hart, Arn Anderson, Al Snow's and Jim Cornette's. If you want to read how some wrestlers can dillude themselves, check out Paul Orndorff, X-Pac, and definitely Sid's.

Just in case anyone is interested.

I've seen parts of Jake the snake's and Bret Hart's on The Wrestling Channel

Jim Cornettes 2 part interveiw was awesome.

Kevin Nash- His only good match was against Shawn Michaels, “who could have a good match with a couch.” He thinks it’s pathetic that Nash is broken down with graying hair and a potbelly yet still trying to get over as Big Sexy. He feels Vince only got Nash over to begin with because of his look and that he was already on a downhill slide back then. One of his favorite stories is that, when he was asked to teach Rick Bogner and Kane how to be the new Razor Ramon and Diesel, he watched some Kevin Nash matches then told Kane “You have five moves. If you count pushing your hair back a move, then you’ve got six.” Nash once bitched about being the lowest paid WWF champion of all time and someone (Cornette wants to say Gerald Brisco) told him it was because he was the lowest DRAWING WWF champion of all time.

LOL

LOL

It's all true. :love:

Did I ever mention how much I love Jim Cornette?

Even though he knocks Bret Hart for being "a crybaby who's stuck in the past", I can't get enough of his rants.

:lol: awesomeness :y:

You want shoot interviews, Check this out: http://www.audiowrestling.com/stars.html

There's PLENTY of interviews on that site.

Cornette is a ****ing genius.

I'm too lazy to check it out, but does it have Vince Russo's shoot on Hulk Hogan from Bash at the Beach 2000? That was a hardcore shoot if I've ever heard one.

No. It's not a listing of shoots. These are interviews done for various companies that are then reviewed by the writers at thesmartmarks.com.

In my opinion, Jim Cornette is the smartest man in the wrestling business bar none.

As for the shoots, Bret Hart's, Jim Cornette's, Juventud Guerrera, Steve Williams, Mikey Whipwreck, Taz, Bam Bam Bigelow, Sid, Raven's, Lance Storm and Ricky Steamboat all are very good to excellent (Williams and Whipwreck are the underdogs here).

PureHatred - Don't know how you can say Arn Anderson's is good and X-Pac's dillusional especially when Arn's is pure bullsh</>it and he totally refuses to talk about somethings and kayfabes on others. At least Pac was honest. Sid was too. At least he talked about the stabbing for one.
