Also here's more on the Hanson shoot, from this weeks McRoss Report:

I've been getting alot of preorders for the Ref Sean Hanson DOI Shoot Interview. The shoot interview, which you all know by now, costs only $8.00. The reason why the price is so low compared to other shoots on the market is because we want this shoot to be affordable for all to see. We're not making much of a profit off of this shoot, it's just a way to help with some of the ever-rising bandwidth costs the DOI have and to help out a referee who can use some extra cash in his pocket. Alot of fans have asked me, "Why should I get shoot with just a ref?" The answer to that is simple. Ref Hanson has been around a long time and has seen alot of things go down in alot of locker rooms. This shoot isn't just about his career, which we cover in-depth, it's also about all the current events in indy wrestling today. He talks about everyone and everything. Ref Hanson, who is known to his peers, as "The Honky Tonk Man of the Indies" really lives up to that nickname in this shoot.

This shoot interview has created much controversey. This shoot is a shoot interview that some don't want you to see. The DOI and Ref Hanson have both received paperwork from lawyers respresenting several people in the wrestling business. That's right, this is the one shoot interview that lawyers are looking at, to see if their clients get trashed. Only in indy wrestling. Despite one company releasing shoot interviews with wrestlers, where the wrestlers implicate several people for sex and drug abuse, that same hypocritical company wants this shoot off the market, in case Hanson implicates them for anything. Even better, this "honorable" company hasn't even seen the shoot yet. That is how much fear this shoot has put into some people. Some people fear the truth, and Hanson lays down the law, in the only way he knows how- with pure honesty. Trust me, this is shoot that you will always remember. It sucks that in America anyone can sue anyone if you have money, no matter how frivolous the case is, but the DOI and Ref Hanson are releasing this shoot with full steam. This interview will provide the loyal indy wrestling fan, in addition to the many wrestlers/promoters/talent who read this site, many unknown tales. This shoot contains stories that were never talked about before this interview. This is one for the books.

As of now, the Ref Hanson shoot interview should be ready for shipping this Wednesday!!! Get your preorders in now, as there is a good chance we'll sell out of the first batch in a few days. We'll also have the shoots on hand at the 9/10 JAPW show, so if you're looking to save on shipping costs, you can pick it up there.

Updated 8/24

DOI FILMS FIRST SHOOT INTERVIEW WITH REF HANSON

Last night, the DOI filmed our first shoot interview with independent wrestling's most controversial referee, Ref Hanson. This interview gives the viewer a much deeper look into the indy scene. Hanson, who is sometimes called by his peers "The Honky Tonk Man of the Indies", didn't hide anything and talked about everything.

To order the interview, email BULLSMC@aol.com for PayPal Instructions. You can also pick up the interview at various indy shows by emailing BULLSMC@aol.com to see what shows the DOI will be at selling the interview.

The interview is only $8.00 and EVERYONE from indy wrestling is discussed. Hanson talks openly about his firing from ROH and everyone who works there, the RF scandal, JAPW, SSCW, PWU, UXW, IEW, ICW/UCW, AWA & so much more. Hanson talks about his previous relationship with Ariel. In addition, Hanson tells us what girls in wrestling are rats, what wrestlers flat out suck, who he doesn't like and why and more.

However, the interview isn't all negative, as Hanson praises many of indy wrestling's top stars and promotions.

Two touchy subjects the DOI asked Hanson about was Dan Maff and Chris Candido. Hanson talks about Candido for nearly an hour and tells us what Candido meant to him. It is very emotional to watch and you can see how much Hanson misses Candido to this day. Hanson also talks about his best friend, Dan Maff, and his removal from the wrestling business. Hanson knows the story between Maff/Homicide and he tells us who was right and who was wrong. This is stuff that has to be seen to be believed.

Also in this interview, Ref Hanson tells us and proves to us what male indy referee is having sexual relations with a certain owner of a top indy wrestling promotion. Hanson, being Hanson, is a straight shooter, and has no problems telling us who is gay in wrestling as well. Hanson also tells us what he thinks about people using homosexuality to get over in pro wrestling.

This interview is like no other shoot interview on the market today. This interview is catered to the hardcore indy fan and to people in the wrestling business. Find out stuff in the wrestling business that has never been told before. Find out the truth on people and what people really think of others. Find out who's fake in wrestling. Find out who backstabs who in wrestling. This is an interview that breaks the shoot interview mold and for only $8.00, you can't afford to miss out.

This interview was a 3 hour and 45 minute affair and must be seen to be believed.
