Does the Stone Cold interview with Vince count? the one where he blamed talent for not taking the opportunities given, without a shred of self awareness. I still can't believe they aired that.

While most of the Ring of Honor Straight Shootin' DVDs are very good, the Butch Reed one is notably awful but not for any of the questions or the responses. Rather, either an air conditioners or room heater is on and is too close to the camera drowning out the conversation. It's unlistenable, even at maximum volume. Chuck and Trent's shoot interview with Teddy Hart is just f***ing ghastly, especially in wake of what's come out about Teddy's alleged (but also actual) involvement with trafficking and abuse. I've heard from a few people when they tell Chuck and Trent they've seen it, they sincerely apologize for it and feel guilty for being associated with it and it getting released. Hart brings up rape allegations about him out of nowhere and talks about them in a way that makes him sound guiltier the more they go on. Plus, at the very end he pull Chasyn Rance into it on-camera and it's just awful. I remember at the time people were hyping it as "you gotta see how kwayzy Teddy Hart is these days" but it quickly goes from "this guy is eccentric" to "this person is a legitimate itmate danger to everyone he encounters." Then, whether it's a worked shoot or his actual beliefs, there's the Brian Kendrick conspiracy theories shoot where he ascribes to holocaust denial and some real proto-QAnon insanity. Whether he really believed the ideas presented or not, he's giving hatred a platform and making money from it. I bought three on sale from ROH for two dollars a pop. They were RF shoots of One Man Gang, Mike Rotunda, and Brad Armstrong. Despite so much travel and time in the big leagues, sooooooo boring. I was surprised that Armstrong's was terrible, as he had a reputation as a funny guy. Brad Armstrong's Ring of Honor Straight Shooting shoot DVD is a lot of fun and probably more of what you're looking for. RF just happens to suck at interviews. Steve Corino's "Old School" shoot with One Man Gang I'd put in the top three or so shoots of the past five years. Really makes Gang out to be the biggest wrestling fan to ever get into wrestling and it's pretty heartwarming how he'd recognize regional heroes from his youth on the ring crew in various towns. That Butch Reede shoot sounds so f***ing funny I can't believe they actually went ahead and sold that. Also good god yeah the Teddy Hart one is awful.

Didn’t he claim credit for the nWo or Hogan or some shit? I'll have to rewatch The Rise and Fall of WCW but it does sound familiar Edit: He definately took credit for moving WCW to the Disney/MGM Studios It’s a shame he passed the way he did, but if Mike Graham didn’t have that line about Jeff Jarrett, he’d have about no redeeming qualities from his shoots. This is only highlighted due to the fact that he did SO MANY of them.

I want to say I got them from Scott Teal, but I got shoots with Bob Armstrong, the Mongolian Stomper, and Mac McMurray, the longtime Knoxville ref who also loaned money to Ron Fuller that allowed him to buy the territory.
I was really looking forward to these shoots with prominent figures from the old Knoxville territory, but there were problems with all of them.
Armstrong stuck to kayfabe on the vast majority of the questions. Stomper sat in a rocking recliner that squeaked with every move so the audio was ruined. McMurray's interview was ruined by something that sounded like a vacuum cleaner repeatedly turning off and on.
