LONGest Shoot Interviews

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

I was just looking for shoot interviews to watch and saw Sami Callihan had a 4 and a half hour one. Perhaps, even more surprising this is vol. 2 of a series he did! I like Callihan as a performer, but I don't know if I could sit through 4.5 hours of one fairly early in his career talking.

So what other super LONG shoots are out there. Are there any you have either enjoyed or not enjoyed, but still sat through the whole thing?

The one Ric Flair did with Highspots (10 hours for the 3-disc set / 13 hours for the 4-disc)

Chris Hero's "Best on the Indies" set is 7 1/2 hours

and the Sami Callihan, though early in his career, has competed for several notable independent promotions around the world and the interviews are talking in-depth about those various promotions (HWA, CZW, ROH, CHIKARA, DGUSA, EVOLVE, PWG, IWA: Mid-South, NWA Force-1, Big Japan, wXw, etc.) he's amassed a good sized following on the indies, and should he spend the rest of his career in WWE his time in the indies (which not everyone but some will be interested in) will be largely ignored. for all the praise CM Punk's WWE dvd gets for including ROH and IWA: Mid-South, his time in the indies pretty much glanced over (they talked about the Summer of Punk but never really explain what happened). the two sets are for his fans from the indies, as well as new fans who want to know more about him. and the interview is not 4 1/2 continuous hours, it is split between two discs (he had a show to do that day and the first part was recorded before the show and the second part recorded after)

[SOR]

I think the first Jim Cornette one was about 6-7 hours. Of course he had a lot to discuss but that's a very long time to listen to a shoot.

The Highspots Ric Flair one is over 8 hours I believe. That could be the longest.

Isn't Jim Cornette's whole life a shoot interview?

Yeah, I'm well aware of his career. I'm just saying there are top level performers it is tough to sit through a 2 hour+ shoot interview with. Especially given that a lot of shoots are still shot continuous with a single cam (not saying that one is as I have no idea as I mentioned I just read about it). So I would have a tough time sitting through an interview with again someone who is still fairly early in their career (debuting in 2006 I know he's not a rookie, but I don't think most would call him a vet).

My whole life is in kayfabe. I only shoot in the bedroom.

Wait, I said that wrong.

RF Video seems to be releasing a lot of 4-5 hour shoots lately. Both Masada and the latest Chris Hero shoots from them ran almost 5 hours.

[Steveweiser]

I needed three days to get through the Hero SMV shoot, but it's broken up into contained chunks (hour on PWG, hour on Chikara, etc.)

[edtheripper]

RF is releasing one with DJ Hyde that supposedly runs 8 hours.
