Ah, the good old-fashioned shoot interview. I'm sure you can remember the first time you discovered these, and you're like, oh damn, these wrestlers are telling us all the secrets, and now I shall love this crazy industry for life.

0:11.2

Some of these have taken a life of their own, too,, Simon Miller, catch you up with some of these, because yes, when you do get

0:23.1

down into the shoot interview land of love, some of them are quite infamous.

0:27.5

Number 10, the original Jim Cornett shoot.

0:29.3

So if you haven't seen the shoot interview, you probably know the Giff, because this is essentially

0:32.8

Jim Cornett melting down, because he really doesn't like Vince Rousseau. Filmed all the way back in 2000, it's just a 45-minute rant, as Jim tells us that Vince

Number nine, Paul London and Brian Kendrick speak. So back in 2010, Brian Kendrick and Paul London

1:21.5

decided to do a bunch of shoot interviews, and I'm sure they were enjoying some kind of substance

1:26.2

1:34.3

that's just how wrestling works.
