Was a nothing interview. Yeah, not much in term of good stories, although his reactions to the "What's in the bag" game were pretty funny. I didn't think it was that bad honestly especially compared with the ones ICP or Broadus Clay and such). One thing you learn for sure, is that he's samoan. And that Yoko had a three years long title reign.
July 8, 201510 yr comment_5683718 Does Sean Oliver ask Rikishi what the source of the tension is between him and "Too Cool" (Brian Christopher and Scott Taylor)? I found it really odd that Rikishi never mentioned those guys in his HOF speech, especially since he never would have been anywhere near as popular as he was without them (IMO.) But he never even mentioned them, and afterward the rumor was that he intentionally snubbed them because they had some sort of falling out. As I recall, Taylor even mentioned the snub on his Twitter, but nobody has ever said what the reason for the falling out was. I was curious if Rikishi mentioned it in his shoot interview?

July 8, 201510 yr comment_5683734 He mentioned that he felt that he needed to thank his family as they would always come first, and he has no heat with Brian and Scott over it.
July 13, 201510 yr comment_5684643 Is he really a bigger deal than Bret Hart, Jim Cornette or JJ Dillon (edit : or Sammartino !) ? Don't think so. He already did RF, which is beneath everyone at this point. The bullshit detector is needed (as always, but especially there), but this should be pretty entertaining. I will guess the guy he's talking about having pleasure firing is the HTM.
July 16, 201510 yr comment_5685099 I wonder if there will be any talk of Missy Hyatt or the lawsuit, wasn't that in '94?
July 17, 201510 yr comment_5685427 and a 1994 one with Eric Bischoff. "I don't recall the details" That actually nicely sums up what I've seen of this so far. Eric prefaces nearly every answer with some form of the quoted comment. Granted, it's 21 years ago. And, the questions used aren't really about wrestling and angles all that much.

August 6, 201510 yr comment_5690452 I will guess the guy he's talking about having pleasure firing is the HTM. And right I was. Decent interview, a lot more based on production and operations than wrestling, of course. Not a lot of good stories though, and a lot of "I don't remember the details" indeed.

Good write up. I didn't know the reason the Rock N Roll didn't stay longer in AWA is because they were on the list of guys who left AWA during the winter because it was too cold.

Good write up. I didn't know the reason the Rock N Roll didn't stay longer in AWA is because they were on the list of guys who left AWA during the winter because it was too cold. Didn't they work the AWA in the spring and then leave back for Crockett in the summer? Not sure that explanation holds up.
August 10, 201510 yr comment_5691293 Wached this. It's 2015. RF still does the same old "Memories of X" stupid "interview". RF still doesn't edit when Rey check his phone for 30 seconds. It's amazing that anyone would buy his stuff at this point. Being the first in the game surely helped him the most. I wish Rey would work with KC instead. Total nice guy. He even says good things about JBL. Nothing earth shattering in terms of knowing how things work in WWE though, nor really good stories.
August 10, 201510 yr comment_5691304 I'm not sure why Rey wouldn't say good things about JBL. JBL put him over huge with Rey essentially retiring him twice.
August 10, 201510 yr comment_5691305 Of course. But he also says that JBL isn't a bully. Which, by all acount, sounds idealistic, to be generous (well, he also says that Eddie was a "great father"… didn't Eddie basically ODed in front of his family once ?).
August 10, 201510 yr comment_5691382 Watching the Miss Jacqueline shoot. Again, RF's ineptness in 2015 is scary. Bad sound because Jackie's hair are *on* the freaking mic all the time. Then, classic RF moment : she talks about her very first match, then one minute and a half later : "Do you remember your first match ?". Seriously ? Anyway, crap interview, but Jackie seems like a really cool girl, and damn, she's 51 and time doesn't seem to have that much grasp on her.

Not a lot of good stories though, and a lot of "I don't remember the details" indeed. was funny watching him squirm when the issue of independent contractors was brought up. And when we said he preferred to call himself "showrunner" rather than "booker."
