It is Tuesday and we have alot to talk about today. Last week was a huge week for RF VIDEO as we released almost two dozen new DVD's to the site!!! I will list them all again in this update in case you missed them.
RF VIDEO has 4 brand new shoot interviews already lined up for this coming July!!! One of those shoots will be with a former World Champion!!!
Don't forget we filmed a new shoot two weeks ago with Virgil that we have not released. Alot of people might have seen another interview he did years back for another company but I can confirm that this interview is not like that what so ever. Virgil was totally cool with us and not in gimmick like he was for his last interview. He was very relaxed with us and did not want to kill anyone like he did during his first interview which we do sell by the way. Our interview also covers his entire career from start to finish and he is a very entertaining character during his shoot.
RF VIDEO will have a big announcement in the near future on a brand new library we have acquired!!!
RF VIDEO will be apart of the huge www.kandswrestlefest.com the Summer Sizzler convention this July!!!
=======================
This past weekend RF VIDEO conducted a very rare interview with former WWF/WCW wrestler Jim Powers. This was one of those shoots that you do not have to be a fan of the wrestler but instead be a fan of the WWF. If you were a wrestling fan during the 80's and 90's and you want to hear all the backstage gossip, this shoot is a must for you.
Jim worked with everyone in the WWF and he was so open with his interview. Granted he was never the biggest star in the WWF but he has seen it all and traveled the world with the boys. We can't thank him enough as he really hit a home run with his shoot. You guy's will really enjoy his stories for sure.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a part of the biggest show in the world? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to travel the roads, wrestle in the ring, and share the locker room during the biggest era in pro wrestling? RF Video sits down with a man who has been in and out of the ring with wrestling�s biggest stars. RF Video is proud to present our newest Shoot Interview with the “Young Stallion” Jim Powers.
Jim Powers wrestled a who�s who list of pro wrestling greats in the WWE. Powers was an enhancement wrestler in the Hogan-era of the WWE. Powers has stories about being in the ring with guys like Dynamite Kid, Bret Hart, Ric Flair, and more.
Powers not only saw it all in the ring, he saw it all outside of the rin g. Powers recounts in great detail the night Jacques Rougeau knocked out the Dybamite Kid. Powers also talks about witnessing a WWE star stealing medication from another WWE star. Powers names the wrestlers and more in this exclusive story on the RF Video Shoot Interview.
Powers also comments on all of the rumors about the WWE during this time. Powers tells about his own experience with a homosexual WWE employee. What did this office member proposition and how did Jim respond? You will be shocked when you hear about WWE superstar went to Vince McMahon on Jim�s behalf and what happened next.
Powers also talks about all of the frustrations of his role in the WWE. How does someone with such a great look and so much talent stay on the bottom of the cards? What finally led to Powers cracking and making his frustrations known to the WWE? How did Vince McMahon respond to this tirade from Powers?
Powers also brings into a day in the life of a WWE pro wrestler during this time period. Powers talks about the drugs he needed just to function day to day on the road. How did Powers stay in shape, eat, sleep, and wrestle on such a hellacious schedule? Powers goes beyond the spotlight and opens us up to a very dark side of the pro wrestling industry.
Powers also talks about traveling with two of pro wrestling�s most infamous personalities. What was it like to travel with Roddy Piper and the Ultimate Warrior? Powers talks about it and has some great road stories to boot. You will think much differently about the Warrior after you hear Jim�s stories.
Jim goes into great detail about his one run in the WWE. How did the Young Stallions come about? What was the original intent of the gimmick? Did he like Paul Roma? What was the plan after beating the Hart Foundation? Powers� frustrations didn�t get any easier during his time as part of the Young Stallions.
Powers also talks about making the career decision to jump to WCW. Why did he leave the WWE? How was WCW different than the WWE? How was Eric Bischoff different than Vince McMahon? Had Hulk Hogan changed? What happened to his push? Was it bad luck, bad timing, or politics?
Powers was recently in the news as part of the Iron Sheik Roast. Powers stood between an enraged Scott Hall and a comedian after an Owen Hart joke. Why did Powers intervene? How bad was Scott Hall that night? What does Jim Powers think of the Sheik? Hear about that night first hand from the man that may have saved a comedian from the beating of a lifetime.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to hear about life in the fast lane of the WWE. Hear from a man that shared the ring, the car, and the locker room with all of pro wrestling�s most infamous characters. Jim Powers will bring you into the closed world of Vince McMahon�s WWE in a way never told before in RF Video history. It is with great honor and excitement that RF Video presents the Jim Powers Shoot Interview.

==============================
Shoot Interview with Sabu Vol. 2: In this day of kayfabe, it is rare to find anyone as elusive as Sabu. For years, Sabu would not utter a word on camera. Sabu now sits down for a second time with RF Video, Inc in his most entertaining shoot interview yet. RF Video presents the homicidal, suicidal, genocidal maniac, Sabu.
This interview is much different than the last time we sat down with Sabu. Sabu was aware of the camera and had a lot to say. A lot has changed since we last spoke with Sabu. Sabu signed with the WWE, headlined RAW, and made headlines with an arrest. Sabu opens up and discusses all of the above with RF Video.
What was it like for someone like Sabu to go to the WWE? How much creativity did he have? Were other wrestlers apprehensive about working with him? What was his relationship like with Vince McMahon? Was there still heat with Paul Heyman? What was it like to headline against John Cena and other WWE superstars? Sabu addresses all of the questions.
Sabu also talks in depth for the first-time ever about his arrest with Rob Van Dam. What happened? How did the WWE react? What was his meeting like with Vince McMahon? Why did he give reporters the fingers? How would his career have turned out if he wasn?t arrested? Does he regret it? Sabu addresses all of the tough questions.
What was it like for Sabu to be a part of the new ECW? What does he think of the new ECW? Did he have any problems with the product? Did he try and change it? How did the other ECW alumni react to the product? Did he make any suggestions? What does he think about classic ECW fan reaction to the new ECW? Did he think it would last?
Sabu's story didn't end with the WWE. Sabu talks about the before and after in this shoot. Sabu talks about his run in TNA and the barbed wire matches with Abyss. Sabu also talks about life after the WWE. Where does he go from here? Does he regret the years of punishment he inflicted upon himself? Was it worth it looking back? These are some emotional questions we as the great Sabu.
RF Video has a library of thousands of videos featuring the legendary Sabu. RF Video pays tribute to Sabu by including the original 3 way dance with Sabu vs. Terry Funk vs. Shane Douglas. In addition see the epic Stretcher Match between Sabu and Rob Van Dam. Relive the greatness and see how the nephew of a wrestling legend carved out a legacy of his own.
We at RF Video will proudly call Sabu a legend. It is excited anytime we have the opportunity to talk to a legend. The cameras were rolling as Sabu sits down one on one with RF Video for this one. It is truly an honor and a pleasure to present one of wrestling's true pioneers for a second time. RF Video proudly presents our newest shoot interview with Sabu.

Billy Jack Haynes Conspiracy THeory now on sale!!
Viewers of RF Video�s Shoot Interviews have heard some of the craziest stories ever told about the wrestling business. For over a decade, RF Video has offered some of wrestling�s most controversial figures a forum to tell their story. Of all, arguably the most controversial interviewee was Billy Jack Haynes. If you thought you heard it all in Billy Jack�s first shoot, you haven�t heard anything yet.
RF Video, Inc sat down with one of our most outspoken guests ever for a second time. The statements made were so shocking, that our legal team had to view this video numerous times. The statements made are so outrageous and so insane that some would say could only be made by a mad man. It is with great excitement that RF Video presents Diary of a Mad Man � The Billy Jack Haynes Shoot Interview II.
Billy Jack is unique from most interviewees in that he has nothing to lose. Billy has no desire to ever work again in the business, thus pulls not punches, and plays no political games. Billy will give you his opinion with or without consequences. Billy turned it up to a level unprecedented in past shoot interviews during this taping.
Billy has wrestled with all of the biggest stars of the 80s and for every top promotion in the country. Billy has seen and heard it all, and isn�t shy in sharing it with you. Additionally, Billy has a lot of theories about some of wrestling�s most controversial subjects. Some of these theories are completely off of the wall, yet Billy shares them all in this classic Shoot Interview.
The difference in this and past interviews is that we showed up with no questions. Billy just wanted to rant for three hours. Billy addresses controversies, urban legends, and rumors without provocation. We just sat back, listened, and were absolutely amazed at what we heard from this former wrestling great.
Billy offers his opinions about many of the deaths in wrestling over the last two decade s. Billy has some interesting theories behind all of them due to his personal relationship with these late greats and the people around them. Billy has thoughts on the passing of Rick Rude, Hercules Hernandez, Bossman, Eddy Guerrero,Curt Henning, JYD, Sherri Martel, Crash Holly, Sherri Martel, Adrian Adonis, Big John Stuff, Elizabeth, Dino Bravo, Owen Hart, Chris Benoit, Nancy Sullian, Davey Boy Smith, Hawk, Brian Pillman, Test and a few other legends.
Billy had his own agenda when he walked into the room and the camera turned on. Billy provided this list of wrestlers himself. Billy goes into detail about the individual and his memories of working with him or her. Billy then gives his theories and opinions as to what exactly happened with each wrestler. Billy�s conspiracy theories make the JFK Assassination look like child�s play.
This was something that had been eating at Billy for years. Billy was incredibly nervous before the interview. Billy even had a brief anxiety attack before we went to tape. This is how important it was to Billy to get this all off of his chest. It was truly like opening up the verbal diary of a m ad man.
Billy has a reputation of his own within the wrestling business. Billy addresses this and gives a thorough background on abuse suffered in his childhood. Billy continues to tell his story and how that impacted him for the rest of his life. Billy also addresses his own demons and obstacles he has had over the last several years. These are some very emotional segments.
This video is not intended for children. This is a video that needs to be watched if you are a wrestling fan of any generation. Whether you believe all of it, some of it, or none of it, you will never watch wrestling the same after watching this interview. If you liked Ring of Hell, you will love this interview. RF Video is proud to present � Diary of a Mad Man: The Billy Jack Haynes Shoot Interview II.
Here is my most recent radio show from WHos Slammin Who....Inside the Ring with RF VIDEO where I discuss the entire Billy Jack DVD in much more detail

SHOOT INTERVIEW WITH VAL VENIS!!!!!!
Well one of the shoots that we just conducted is already being worked on for a future release.
Along with “Oh hell yeah” and “Can you smell what the Rock is cooking,” “Hello Ladies” may be the most recognizable from wrestling�s biggest period. How did a kid who started wrestling as a hobby turn himself into one of sports entertainment�s most recognizable personalities? RF Video�s newest shoot interview with Val Venis tells it all.
Val Venis� pro wrestling career started long before he entered a WWE ring. Val took the unconventional path to the top. Val wrestled all over the world throughout all of the top international territories and companies long before he made it to the WWE. Along with these journeys come some great road stories which you will only hear in this RF Video shoot interview.
Val recalls his first-ever tour of All Japan Pro Wrestling and a situation with the Babas. What wrestler on the tour made Val paranoid and fearful of his job before he ever wrestled a match in Japan? Val also talks about wrestling and traveling with the legends of All Japan including Stan Hansen, Kenta Kobashi, and more.
Val goes into great detail about his only experience with WCW. What happened that turned Val off to WCW before he tried out for the company? What WCW executive rubbed Val the wrong way? How did his appearance impact his Mexico tour? How close was he to going to WCW over the WWE?
Val also talks extensively about getting into the WWE. What were his first impressions of Vince McMahon? Who brokered the deal to get Val a tryout? What were Val�s tryouts like? How soon was he hired after trying out? Did he feel he was ready for the WWE?
One of the best parts of the interview is Val talking about the creation of the character Val Venis. What were his initial reactions? How and who came up with, “Hello ladies?” Who called him with the idea? What kind of research did he do to prepare for the new gimmick? Did he think it would work?
Val also tells a great story about his first television appearance against Scorpio in the WWE. Val talks about the psychology behind the match. Val talks about why he thought it was different than most matches. Val is a student of the game and talks psychology quite a bit during the entire video. Val also talks about Jim Ross� reaction on commentary to the different psychology he used in his debut. How did the office react?
Val has some great stories about being in the ring with some of wrestling�s biggest stars. Val talks about his matches with Steve Austin and the differences in wrestling Steve on television and at a house show. Val also talks about wrestling the Rock, including a great story about the night he ribbed the Rock in the ring and popped Pat Patterson.
Val talks about the many changes in his character in the WWE. Why did the WWE drop the porn star gimmick? Did he like it or did he favor the character? Val talks about the RTC and his thoughts on fellow RTC members. Val also has some great stories about his run as Eric Bischoff�s Chief of Staff.
Val is very candid with his opinions throughout the interview. Which McMahon does he feel doesn�t have the same passion for wrestling as the others? His thoughts on the Stephanie McMahon-Triple H romance including the love triangle involving Chyna. Does he think the Edge-Matt Hardy-Lita situation was a work? Val is most opinionated about the Chris Benoit tragedy. Val has very strong words for everyone involved and talks about Chris Benoit in a way never talked about in past RF Video shoot interviews.
Like20most RF Video shoot interviews, you will hear a lot of ribs and road stories. Val recalls a classic Owen Hart rib and how he found out about the perpetrator years later. Val talks about an absolute classic rib Al Snow played on him that has to be heard to be believed. Val also recalls some of the classic Val Venis vignettes including being in bed with Jenna Jameson and the famous castration angle. Find out why Val lost his cool shooting that angle with Wally Yamaguchi.
This is one of the most fun and insightful shoot interviews in RF Video shoot history. It is rare that someone in Val�s position opens up as he did for RF Video. Val Venis will leave his mark at RF Video the same way he left his mark for almost a decade on your television set. It is with great honor and pleasure that RF Video presents its newest shoot interview with former WWE Intercontinental and European champion, Val Venis.

Sam Houston has the stories and it is with great honor that he shares them with us in the newest RF Video Shoot Interview.
Sam Houston is known by wrestling fans for a variety of reasons. For one, he was married to one of the most gorgeous women in pro wrestling. Another would be that he is part of one of wrestling?s most controversial families. Another reason may be his brushes with the law. Or, maybe you watched Sam Houston wrestle every Saturday on NWA World Wide Wrestling or TBS? Regardless, Sam has one hell of a story to tell and he covers it all in this shoot.
Sam talks about growing up as the son of Grizzly Smith and brother of Jake ?The Snake” Roberts. Sam addresses all of the accusations Jake made about his father in Beyond the Mat. How much of it was true? Was Sam kayfabed by his father? How close was he with his brother? What did it take for his father to break him into the business? Sam picks up where Jake left off in this shoot interview.
Sam also talks about working the legendary territories. Sam talks about his days in Florida Championship Wrestling. Sam talks all about the legends like Dusty, Sullivan, Mulligan, and Graham. What was it like to be in such a hot territory at such a young age? What did he learn and who taught him the most?
Sam has some classic stories about one of wrestling?s most polarizing figures, Dusty Rhodes. Sam traveled with Dusty and has a ton of great road stories. Sam tells an absolute classic never told before here or anywhere else. Sam rode with Dusty after Dusty?s interview with Jim Crockett. Dusty didn?t think it went well and what happens next is worth the price of the shoot alone. What happened and how did the Dream wind up with a lot of egg on his face?
Sam also talks about working for Jim Crockett Promotions at the height of its success. What was it like to wrestle Ric Flair in his prime? What was it like to party with the Horsemen? Sam talks about all of his legendary opponents including Abdullah the Butcher, Tully Blanchard, and Superstar Graham. How did so much potential get wasted by placed in Central States? Sam has some great stories.
Sam also talks about his romance with Baby Doll. How did it start? How did the boys react? How did wrestling impact their relationship over the years? Was it a good or a bad thing being in the business together? How did Sam?s job cost Baby Doll a spot? What went wrong and how did things end so badly between the tw o? Did any booker?s jealousy cost Sam a push?
Sam also talks all about his brother Jake. Are they close? Was there ever an attempt to use their relationship together in the WWF? Sam talks about Jake?s psychology and where it comes from. Did his brother ever get him a break? What does he think of his brother today? What did he think of his brother?s portrayal in Beyond the Mat?
Sam also addresses his demons and is very outspoken about his problems with alcohol. Does he think it is hereditary? How does his problems compare to his brother Jake?s? Did it ever cost him a job? What happened when he received a 10-year jail sentence a few years back and how is he not in jail? Sam talks openly about all of the vices in his life exclusively in this RF Video Shoot Interview.
Some of RF Video?s best shoots are the ones with the road warriors of pro wrestling. Sam is one of those road warriors that traveled all over the world and is here to tell us about it. Sit back and get ready for some great stories from one of the last of the territory stars. It is with great pleasure that RF Video presents the Sam Houston Shoot Interview.

Guest Booker Bushwacker Luke
Re-Booking WWE 1993, HARDCORE!!
It's the early 1990's and the WWE has transitioned its product to friendly and cartoonish. But a few years away lies a darker, more violent bloody style of wrestling that would jumpstart the business. And what if Vince could see that? What if he were to predate ECW and launch his own hardcore style across the US? And who would he hire to book?
Well, there was a booker who was working for him in a wrestling capacity at the time. This booker had traveled the world, and violence was his middle name. Luke Williams has booked all over the world, but his time booking in Puerto Rico alone gives him the credentials to spearhead our little experiment. If anyone can make the Godwins hardcore, it's Luke!
Approx: 102 minutes.

Joy vs Amy
Joy Giovanni and Amy Weber were both involved in the infamous inaugural DIVA search and ended up featured on the WWE's Smackdown brand television broadcasts and Pay-Per-Views. These beautiful, energetic, visions of loveliness were on a collision course to have a one-on-one match in the squared circle - but that never happened - UNTIL NOW!
These two former friends were on the road together with the WWE for a number of months and while traveling, tensions began to mount over a number of issues. Jealousy, TV time, and the rigors of the schedule took their toll on both girls and their relationship was never the same.
Now, they're going to be seeing each other for the first time in years - not to break bread - but to break each other in two! Both girls have been taking their training for this match very seriously. Amy trained with MMA star Mavrick Harvey while Joy was trained by former WWE Tough Enough winner and MMA star Daniel Puder.
Plus bonus photo gallery and matches from Shimmer and GLOW! Also additional sizzling footage from Wrestling Vixens!

Coming soon RF VIDEO shoot Interview with Virgil 2009
The road to WrestleMania isn?t always paved with gold. For one wrestler, it was a rough road to the top. RF Video Inc. sits down with a wrestler who was part of two of the biggest angles in wrestling history. RF Video Inc. is proud to present to you the Virgil Shoot Interview.
Virgil has a tremendous story and he tells it all to RF Video. Virgil has some great stories about his early days as a preliminary wrestler for both the WWE and Jim Crockett Promotions. Did he encounter any racism during that time? Who mentored Virgil? How was he treated backstage?
Virgil talks about training with the legendary Wild Samoans. Training with the Samoans wasn?t easy, especially when one of them barely speaks English. Hear Virgil recount frustrating days training with Sika in the ring. How did Sika compensate his lack of English during training?
Virgil talks about his early days on the independents? Virgil talks about the cast of characters he traveled with. Virgil recounts his days in Memphis before he got into the WWE. Virgil talks about all of the Memphis legends including Jerry Lawler, Jerry Jarrett, and Bill Dundee. What would a conversation about Memphis be like without talking about the partying?
We then go head-first into his WWE career. How was he discovered? How did he react? Why did he think he was being ribbed and by whom? What was his first conversation like with Vince McMahon? Virgil takes us through the entire process of signing his WWE contract.
Virgil then goes into great detail about how he got his gimmick. Who came up with his character? Was it really a rib on Dusty Rhodes? What were his first impressions of Ted DiBiase? How involved was Vince with the gimmick? How involved was Hulk Hogan with his gimmick? Virgil also recounts some great stories filming the Million Dollar Man vignettes.
Virgil goes to great length recounting his days with the Million Dollar Man. Virgil talks about working with all of the legends including Hogan, Randy Savage, Jake Roberts, and the Ultimate Warrior. How crazy did the fans get during these angles? What was it like traveling with Andre the Giant? Were the boys jealous of all of the Million Dollar Man perks?
Virgil is a rare wrestler who as a part of two of wrestling?s most famous angles. Virgil recounts his days in the NWO. Who gave him the names Vincent and Shane? Were they ribs on the McMahons? How did the McMahons react? Did he like Hall and Nash? How different was Hogan in WCW? How was Eric Bischoff different from Vince McMahon? How frustrating was it to see the NWO continue to add members?
Virgil is also quite candid about the downslide of his career. How did WCW politics impact his career there? What was it like going from the top angle to jobbing on WCW Saturday Night? Was WCW mismanaged? What led to his leaving WCW? Virgil gives you both sides of WCW from the top of the cards to the bottom.
Virgil addresses all of the stories about his convention and independent appearances. What does he think about the infamous picture of him alone at a table on the Internet? Did he really challenge a wrestler to a shoot and back out? How does he feel about the fans he has met on the convention circuit? Why does he continue to wear NWO colors in 2009?
This is a golden opportunity to hear from someone that has been on top in two of wrestling?s biggest angles in two different decades. You have read about the legend of Virgil on the conventions now hear from the legend himself. You will see a side of Virgil unseen anywhere el se. It is with great honor that RF Video presents to you the Virgil Shoot Interview.

Ted DiBiase Sr. was in charge. He came out as a heel, but he actually got one of the best reactions of the night as people saw him as a returning legend. He came out with Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase Jr. so he'd get a heel reaction, but the people didn't get it. Somewhere in the middle of the promo people caught on he was playing heel.
He announced Chris Jericho & Edge vs. Ted DiBiase & Cody Rhodes for the tag titles at Night of Champions. Apparently there is a moratorium as from next week forward there can be no title matches on television until the PPV. He also announced Rhodes vs. Mark Henry and DiBiase vs. Randy Orton. Neither were happy about that news.
Edge & Jericho b Colons in a non-title match. Not nearly as good as the match on TV tonight. Ref Marty Elias was distracted by Primo, and Jericho used the codebreaker on Carlito followed by a spear by Edge and Edge pinned Carlito. Carlito turned on Primo after the match, pounding on him and throwing him over the announcers' table. Fans quickly realized Carlito was a heel.
Gail Kim & Mickie James b Maryse & Alicia Fox when Kim pinned Maryse after a kick to the face. Some really funny crowd reactions all night. Most of the people in my section at ringside were asking when did Gail Kim come from TNA. It was clear all night that a very small percentage of the fans here watch Smackdown, ECW or Superstars.
Cody tried to pay off DiBiase to get him out of the match. That didn't work. Somewhere in here Ted cut a promo about how he's mad because Dusty Rhodes is in the Hall of Fame and he isn't, and he was a hell of a lot better than Dusty. He also told Cody that he was going to put him in polka dota.
Mark Henry b Cody Rhodes via count out. World's strongest slam and Rhodes walked out. Henry got no reaction coming out even though he got a good reaction not that much earlier pinning Orton. People did cheer him after winning but not like a star.
Randy Orton b Ted DiBiase with the RKO. Good match, clean pin in the middle.
MVP VIP Lounge with Jack Swagger to start a new feud. Funny line as Swagger was bragging about going to the University of Oklahoma and MVP said, "That's because you couldn't get into a better school." MVP was all over Swagger for walking out of his match against Orton and that's not something an All-American would do. Swagger said MVP attended Florida State, that is Florida state prison. He called him a phony and a fraud. MVP gave the speech about how he hung with the wrong crowd, made mistakes, paid his debt to society while Swagger acted all bored. MVP, who wasn't over at all on the first show, took off his jewelry and the place got into him pretty big. He wanted a fight, but Swagger mentioned that he doesn't fight criminals. Effective segment.
Ted DiBiase and his dad argued backstage. I didn't get the gist of it, but probably Ted said he was trying to teach his son a lesson. Ted Jr. thought his dad set him up to fail and slapped his dad hard. This was good as well
Evan Bourne b Kofi Kingston in a non-title match with the shooting star press. Post-match saw Big Show destroy both guys, spearing Bourne and putting the camel clutch on Kingston. Bourne-Kingston had some early athletic stuff but too fast.
John Cena did a backstage promo and was booed heavy.
HHH NC Cena to get the title shot. Cena in his promo said they would be doing a Wrestlemania match. They did a very good match, probably just under a PPV quality match. I'd say crowd was 75% pro-HHH, which was weird because in show one, HHH got a faded star reaction and Cena was the only guy in the first show who came off to the live crowd like they were a big star. Here the crowd was strong into the entire match and booed the hell out of Cena. As they were building the finish, Rhodes & DiBiase ran in to end it. Orton then said that since they both lost, he doesn't have to defend against either. Ted Sr. then said he was wrong, as he saw it that neither lost and he was ordering a three-way at the Night of Champions.
After the taping was over, Cena did a promo telling the fans that they had just seen a great show and had just seen a Wrestlemania main event. He said people could remember that they saw the best match they had ever seen in their lives. I was about to throw up when he delivered that line. People were with him. He said Rhodes & DiBiase ruined Wrestlemania and wanted all three to come down and apologize. After calling them cowards, they got in the ring. Orton was in HHH & Cena's face when DiBiase & Rhodes bailed out without Orton knowing. Show ended with an Attitude Adjustment by Cena and pedigree by HHH on Orton, and then Ted Sr. came back out and slapped Ted Jr. in the face.
