Let's face it, you find any classic, great wrestling promo on youtube, 99 times out of 100 it's gonna be Mean Gene doing the interview. He asks the real questions, the tough questions. Brutally honest, he always get a rise out of anybody he puts the stick in front of.
You try to watch some shmuck like Todd Grisham come in and do an interview, and you think, "Why the hell is he asking that? Why is he so dumb?"
You watch Mean Gene, and it's like you're watching The Godfather. He's a master of his domain, a craftsman of the art.
Mean Gene Okerlund: The best damn interviewer there ever was.

I wish he still had an active role with WWE, maybe do the odd sit-down interview around 'mania or Summerslam.

I completely agree with you,their was no better interview then Mean Gene. He is definitely one of the many things I miss from the WWF years. And as shown in his interviews with Chuck Palumbo and Team Canada,he was just as awesome in WCW. By far my favorite background character in any wrestling promotion. And before I forget,he are some videos. The debut of the Slickster www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzQno69ENUUMean Gene with David Schultz(By far one of my favorite promos EVER). www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDfQuyl26kYKen Patera murders a promo(Watching Gene through the interview makes the video even more hilarious then it already is) www.youtube.com/watch?v=hELEcT2aZKUThese are all I have for now,if I find any others I'll post them up. |

Hogan should get him a gig doing interviews on American Gladiators.

I agree that Mean Gene is one of, if not the, best backstage interviewer ever. Although I think if Jeremy Borash continues improving like he has in the past year or two, he could give Mean Gene a run for his money.
In defense of Grisham, it's not as if he just comes up with these questions himself and intentionally makes himself look like a dork.
