I don't want to sound unkind, but I've seen a few shoot interviews with Honky Tonk Man recently and he is nothing but bitter and negative about everyone he speaks about, sometimes to the point of cruelty.
Does anyone know why he's like this? I used to kind of respect him for his heel work and character but now I really just can't stomach the guy

Much like Bischoff says, controversy creates cash, HTM's bitterness sells shoots dvds. A shoot that is all about how everyone loved each other and each guy is a good guy, won't sell many copies and if it does, the same wrestler probably won't be asked to do many more shoots. HTM will be continually asked to do shoots and will have an internet presence because of his negativity.
Personally, I think it's a work mostly. He's fairly fan friendly and in most cases I've seen or heard, is warm towards fans and that's probably his real life persona outside the shoots and internet wars he tries to wage.

I believe he admitted that a lot of his shoots are a work to keep his name out there. That a lot of things he says are just an act.

As a wrestler Honky is one of my favorites just because he was such a chickenshit heel and I just wanted to see people beat his ass all the time. I always wanted to see Bad News whip his ass for some reason.

He's mellowed out a lot on recent interviews. Or from what I've heard he has. But damn, when he gets riled up it is pretty awesome.
