Has anyone been watching these? The most recent ones with Road Dogg and Ron Simmons were very good and emotional at times. They also showed a trailer for upcoming ones with Jimmy Hart, Michael Hayes (who speculates that Gino Hernandez's death was NOT an overdose) and Booker T (The teaser showed JBL asking him about Hogan's racist rant).

The Road Dogg one was great. It flew by and I wish they'd have been able to run for another hour. It felt rushed at times and was heavily edited so a lot of things were glossed over. I would have liked to have heard more about his problems with Billy Gunn, his exit from the company with Jarrett and how he managed to get back to the company. I felt that there were more stories to be heard about his time in the outlaws/DX and they certainly didn't need to talk about the bloody WCW invasion again. They did mention he went to TNA but I would have liked to have heard Road Dogg talk about his issues in the 2000's and why someone who at his height made a seven figure sum one year (source: JR, confirmed by Road Dogg in a legends of wrestling) was so broke. (Drug issues yes, but still, seven figures...)
I got negative there, I didn't mean to. It was a great episode and very emotional. I just wish there had been more.
Hopefully a DVD release crops up sometime.

Possibly the best wrestling show ever. He actually asks hard questions.

I've seen it many times, including when it was televised, but the crowd reaction when Ron Simmons won the WCW title is one of the coolest wrestling moments I've ever seen.

How do you interview Michael Hayes? Based on Legends Roundtable he'd interrupt you before you asked him the first question.
Also, the Bischoff episode completely redeemed JBL in my eyes for the anti-WCW shit he was spouting during the Sting match at Mania - he clearly is just belching up what Vince feeds him, as they all are - albeit I'm still iffy on the bullying accusations.
I do crack up slightly that after Bischoff and Undertaker our next one was Road Dogg, though.

That Ron Simmons interview was so outstanding. He just "gets it" in regards to racial issues, not making excuses and overall just being a decent man. Seriously came away with so much respect for him.
Interesting to hear about Ahmed Johnson's demand to be the leader of The Nation. Never heard much about him being so entitled.

I think it helped in that regard that Ron and JBL are so tight, that JBL's probably the one guy who can ask him ANYTHING AT ALL and not have it come off as uncomfortable.

I'm sorry I just watched the Road Dogg one, I can't believe they mentioned TNA. This show is absolutely something else.

Simmons episode was superb. JBL did interrupt a lot though and I did cringe slightly when JBL asked if the race card is played too much, but it was all okay.

I have to say, I sneered at Bischoff being followed by f***ing Simmons and Road Dogg, but I have to say I loved both of these. I can't wait for the Booker T one.
Also amazed more people on here haven't exploded at TNA being mentioned by name on the Road Dogg episode.

I want JBL to get him all sauced up and ask "So how do you feel about getting inducted by three black men?"

Damn, he faces the Mark Henry RIGHT on, frankly, my opinion of the man did shoot up during that section.

However, it wouldn't surprise me, knowing how concerned and PC WWE is with its brand, that this interview was done and scripted so it absolves WWE for honoring Hayes. Or I'm just that flipping jaded.
