I just wanted to ask your opinions on shoots, your favourites, least favourites, etc.
First I have to say this. The Highspots Shoot interviews, they're really interesting because most of the time, it's usually lies and exaggerations. I feel that Gabe Sapolsky's straight shooting series is more professionally done, my only gripe is he tries to get people to be buried, especially the WWE writing team (which Mick Foley caught him with and called him on it about how Gabe wanted Mick to bury the writing team. I also feel that a lot of them are really smarky, and they ask questions from a smark point of view instead of a neutral point of view.
Anyway, my all time favourite was actually done by Wrestle Reunion. There is clips from Kevin Nash's around the internet, but there was another one done with Diamond Dallas Page, and while it wasn't the most informative, it was the most inspiring. DDP was someone who came into wrestling at a very old age, didn't think he was gonna get anywhere, and against all the odds (including his friendship with Eric Bischoff actually being a handicap to him because he didn't want to push him and make him and DDP look bad because they were best friends, which was also confirmed by Kevin Nash in his shoot), and actually winning the belt was great.
Other favourites of mine are Mick Foley's, Christian's, Lance Storm's, Raven's, Team 3D's and Brother Runt's. They're all good ones. The one I didn't like was Scott Steiner's, because I found he had a lot of his of his facts messed up a feel, and it felt really bitter, like he was just out to bury people, where as a lot of the people I mentioned weren't, or at least weren't trying to.
So, what other favourite shoots do you have.
