What up everyone and welcome to another McTape Review. This time, I watched the Missy Hyatt shoot interview, which was conducted by The Wrestling Universe, but is now available for sale in the DOI Video Section. This was probably one of the best interviews I’ve seen with Missy, as she was very candid and held nothing back. This was about 3 hours long and no topic is off limits. I summed up most of the highlights from the interview. Check out the Final McWord for my thoughts.

FINAL McWord
Excellent interview, definitely the best work from The Wrestling Universe. Missy didn’t hold anything back. After watching this, you get the feeling that Missy had a great time while in the wrestling business. She does come off as very promiscuous, not that that is a bad thing.
I really enjoyed this interview. I’m not a big fan of sitting down and watching people talk, but this was worth it. Missy comes off very honest and emotional in some points in the interview. You can also see her sense of humor as it comes through in various parts of the interview, such as singing the Hanukah song as well as playing word association with wrestling figures.
I thought Nick Knowledge came off very smart with his questions, even though you can hear him reading them off in his voice, and not really asking too many follow up questions. Overall, I think he did a good job getting answers.
You can pick up the interview here at http://www.declarationofindependents.net/doi/pages/DOIVIDEO/missy.html
The shoot is only $10 in DVD format and is definitely very entertaining.
