Shoot Interview with Wild Bill Irwin coming soon

One of the last great journeyman wrestlers of the last three generations is “Wild” Bill Irwin. Along with his brother Scott, the Long Riders dominated the territorial world of the National Wrestling Alliance. The Long Riders may wrestle in Texas, Tennessee, Japan, and Georgia all in one week. If there is a man with a story to tell, it would be “Wild” Bill Irwin.
 
Bill Irwin sat down with RF Video and took us for a trip down memory lane. Drop a name and Bill could tell you a story and a half about that person. Whether it is a wild road trip, carrying his inebriated opponent to ten minutes, traveling overseas, a bloody war, various bookers, drugs, alcohol, and the rock and roll life, Bill Irwin talks about it all in this shoot interview.
 
Bill may be most known to newer fans as part of the revolution known as World Class Championship Wrestling. Along with the glory of WCCW, came tragedy. Bill recounts 72 hours of madness surrounding the death of David Von Erich. Bill was the last person to see David alive. Bill talks about the plane ride to Japan with David, his last hours in Japan, their last conversation, and the madness that ensued once the news broke about David?s passing. It is the most detailed account of one of pro wrestling?s biggest mysteries that you will ever hear. Were drugs flushed down the toilet as Gary Hart claimed in his shoot? You will have to watch the shoot and find out how Bill responds to Gary?s accusations.
 
If you don?t know Bill from the various territories, World Class, or even his days as Super Destroyer, you may know him as someone else. The Goon! Bill talks about winding down his career in the WWE as the Goon and why he thinks this character is still engrained into current WWE culture. Will you see the Goon again on your television set? Watch the RF Video shoot interview and find out.

Here are the list of questions that we talked about with Wild Bill.  Bill also spent alot of time talking about the day that David passed away because he was the one who found him.

We should have our first Memphis DVD ready in about a month!!  I am really excited about this project as I know most of you are as well from reading your e mails. Trust me we picked out the best stuff from one of the hottest wrestling territories of all time.  I just loved watching the old promos that they did in the studio.  Nobody does that stuff anymore and everything is comedy for the most part when guys get on the mic these days.  I miss the heels coming out and cutting promos that would put asses in seats.  Memphis had some of the best talkers in the business by far.  You had Lawler, Rich, Gilbert, Savage, Idol, Dundee and Cornette just to name a few.  I am already marking out for these DVD's.

Jerry Lynn shoot interview coming soon

Former ECW World Champion.
Former TNA X-Division Champion.
Former WWE Light Heavyweight Champion.
Journeyman Wrestler and Crusierweight Legend.

The New FN Show comes to RF VIDEO for the FIRST TIME EVER in a shocking new shoot interview…and he's PISSED!
 
Jerry Lynn, a name synonymous with quality wrestling, has been everywhere in the wonderful world of pro wrestling.  He's wrestled under a hood as Mr. JL on Nitro. Had career defining matches against RVD in ECW.  Was one of the forefathers of TNA's much heralded X-Division in the company's early existence. Had well respected WWE Light Heavyweight Championship run that was sparked with controversy. Lynn has traveled up and down the long road of wrestling and has seen it all. Now he's come to RF Video for an exclusive shoot interview that allows him to speak his mind openly on his travels and career.
 
Without any restrictions, Jerry was finally free to air his feelings on many subjects in his career that he has had to keep a lid on until now. You'll get his first hand thoughts on every subject imaginable including, ECW, WWE, Japan, TNA, Global, CZW, 3PW, WCW and every other Podunk wrestling company he worked in between. You want to see bridges get burned? Well hold on tight as Jerry's holding the match and is ready to light a humongous fire!
 
Long time ECW fans are going to finally here what Lynn thought about all the big names in the company. Paul Heyman. Steve Corino. RVD. Tajiri. Rhino. Justin Credible. Stuff that has never been talked about before finally comes to the front of the table. Bounced checks. Finally being given the strap. Sandman naked in the ring down in Florida. Refusing to work the last PPV against Van Dam. It's all here and so much more!
 
But it's not just ECW as Lynn spends a lot of time in the other three circuses he was at, WWE, WCW, and TNA. You'll hear about his infamous matches with X-Pac. You'll get Lynn's true feelings on Dixie Carter. You'll discover who the three WCW workers were that sabotaged his career. This is one of the most incendiary shoots that RF Video has ever been a part of and we couldn?t be prouder of it. Three solid hours of one of wrestling's best hands being able to speak without limits for the first time.

Did you purchase the Joey Matthews shoot?  I want to say this about his interview right now.  This is the kind of shoot where you do not have to be a fan of his to enjoy his stories.  If you liked ECW or the current WWE product its a must grab interview.  It focuses on alot of what was going around him during his run.  Not only do you get to hear his life story but you hear alot about the top stars that are still on TV right now.  I know Joey will be back in the WWE one day soon, so check out his story as it really can change the way you see things today.  He has alot of great insight and by far is one of the smartest guys going today.

A man who has been to the top of the wrestling mountain - and seen it all...

From one half of the hottest tag teams of the last year in ECW, to Special K daze, the independents, OVW, to becoming one half of the greatest tag team gimmick of the last few years in the WWE.  This man has been everywhere.

Always the talk of the wrestling world, a man who many rumors and stories have been spoken of.

Now, he comes back to discuss it all...

Joey Matthews, formerly Joey Mercury of the fan favorite  MNM tag team, sat down with RF Video to discuss all aspects of his controversy-filled career. Fans who only know Joey by what they've seen on TV or read in the 'sheets will get a whole new understanding of the man as he displays how intelligent and creative he is throughout the interview. In an industry full of looking the other way, Joey was also refreshingly honest about his drug problems and the issue of drugs in wrestling, including how they led to him being released by the WWE literally overnight. Joey gave us exclusive details on how everything went down during his WWE stay, including a shocking plane trip to England, finding out who his real friends were while in rehab, and giving the true story on an oft-rumored story involving Stephanie McMahon.
 
Joey covered his entire career, including his time in the legendary OMEGA promotion, which also produced Matt Hardy, Gregory Helms, Shannon Moore, and Jeff Hardy. Joey discussed being in MCW and how Axl Rotten would use his status to bully other wrestlers with impunity. Joey described his cup of coffee stay in WCW along with how he got his first big break in ECW. You'll get backstage stories on the infamous ECW locker room along with details on Joey's early matches with the FBI and the Danny Doring & Roadkill team. This is a first hand perspective on what being on the road was like in ECW from someone who was still young enough not to have seen it all before. Joey also gives his thoughts on Paul Heyman and these are not to be missed!
 
We talked about Joey's past relationship with Mickie James and what exactly happened to them.  Joey describes going down to OVW, on his own dime, and how he had problems getting in the door the first night along with the hurdles he had to overcome in the weeks and months ahead in the WWE developmental territory. Working under Jim Cornette, Joey gives fantastic stories on the life he led while in OVW and all the people he met down there, including Johnny Nitro and Melina. How exactly did MNM form and how did Matthews get used even though he wasn't under WWE contract? What ribs did MNM have to suffer through as they were rising through the ranks? What exactly did he say in his controversial locker room speech in front of Lance Storm and Bobby Lashley? This shoot answers those questions and many more!
 
MNM fans, WWE fan, and ECW fans are going to love this interview as Joey lets every cat out of the bag. He talks about working with all the top tag teams and dishes the scoop on everything that went down behind the curtain, including the heat Melina was drawing for dating Batista. This is a blockbuster shoot for WWE locker room talk as you get a unique access to such a private club!

From the end of ECW, from the hight of MNM, from stories in his time in OVW, TNA, ROH, XPW, 3PW.  This shoot has it all!

WWE issued a press release Thursday that revealed its latest Wellness Policy violator.

"In accordance with its Substance Abuse and Drug Testing Policy, WWE has suspended Afa Anoai, a developmental talent in the WWE farm system (Florida Championship Wrestling), for 30 days for his first violation of the company�s policy," the company said in its brief statement.

Under a revision to its Wellness Policy made in 2007, WWE now reveals the identities of all who are suspended under the drug policy.

A meeting was held at last week�s TNA Impact tapings to address some of the drama between TNA Knockouts. The bulk of the backstage heat is directed at Traci Brooks, Gail Kim and Christy Hemme. Some of the women that are new to the company claim the three act like they�re above everyone else.

There were reports to management that Traci Brooks lashed out at Velvet Sky for not holding up her end of the match with Gail Kim last week. Another issue was when Rhaka Khan apparently offended the makeup woman by complaining several times that she wasn�t happy with the look she was giving her.

Neither ODB nor Awesome Kong have been mentioned in the drama, and Kong is said to be especially well liked in the locker room. Kurt Angle was even throwing ideas around about him putting her over on TV.

EULESS, Texas (AP) • Gary Richard Williams, better known as pro wrestler and manager Playboy Gary Hart, died Sunday. He was 66.

Williams, of Euless, died of heart disease in a Bedford hospital, according to the Tarrant County medical examiner's office.

World Wrestling Entertainment credits Williams with propelling wrestling to international heights by establishing a rivalry between famed Texas wrestling family the Von Erichs and the Fabulous Freebirds.

Born in Evansville, Ind., Williams' career spanned four decades. He began wrestling in the 1960s in Illinois and Wisconsin, according to World Wrestling Entertainment. He went on to manage Bruiser Brody, Abdullah the Butcher, Gentleman Chris Adams and others, the WWE said.

Williams met his wife, Gloria, after a match in the Fort Worth Stockyards. The best man at their 1968 wedding was the masked wrestler known as The Spoiler, said Gloria Williams, of Crowley.

Look for Ric FLair to try to cut one of his best Promos ever this Monday night!!
