SOMEBODY SAY SOMETHIN ‘BOUT FIRED UP?! This guest of the series that changed the game is ready to get fired up for your questions! Tommy “Wildfire” Rich takes the YouShoot oath and is prepared to tell you stories that range from his love of ECW to his hatred of anyone named Crockett. Tommy is old school to the bone and he’s loaded with stories about yesteryear’s road trips, including his pre-match…err…”training sessions.” From Harley to Barnett, Dundee to Atlas, and all the names in between, Tommy gives you the inside dish on everything you asked. It’s all here…in the one and only series that lets the shooters SHOOT….YOUSHOOT!

Before Francine became a sex symbol for the most violent, depraved organization in wrestling, she was a regular Philly girl. She was working a menial insurance job with wrestling nowhere on her radar. On a whim, she grabs the phone and calls a number she sees on TV for the ECW training school. The rest is hardcore history. The ECW landscape was pretty tough so now you’ll hear how this lady, as tough as her character, managed to navigate that road and come out on the other side. Francine fought through great personal tragedies as well as great disappointment over accusations aimed at her from an ECW talent on a KC show. Tear-jerker and laugh riot, all the same, this edition of Breaking Kayfabe stands as all do–part interview, part therapy…all shoot.

The series that changed the entire shoot industry is back and better than ever! Tammy Sytch takes the YouShoot oath and takes all your questions. Tammy's rich life in the business, complete with ups and down, leaves lots of opportunity for questions. She is remarkably candid about... er... EVERYTHING! Nothing is out of bounds as Tammy tells you WHAT she likes, WHO she doesn't, and HOW SHE LIKES IT! (Yup...that!) The YouShoot games are back, with lots of graphics and fun surprises which take the series to a level never before attempted in the business. And Tammy is here to take you on the wild ride! Hop on...it's the one, the only, Tammy Sytch on the one, the only... YOUSHOOT!

One of the most maligned, controversial figures to ever enter the pro wrestling game has agreed to open up all aspects of his life for you to examine. In this edition of the probing Breaking Kayfabe series, Vince Russo sits across from Sean and takes part in a nearly two and a half hour exploration of what makes Russo who he is. In the spirit of all editions of this series, we go deep inside our guest and try to root out the causes for the things he’s done and said. You may know what Vince Russo has done, but we are pretty sure you don’t know the man. From his childhood to his faith, Sean explores the positives and negatives and won’t drop the issue until we have the answers on issues ranging from his views on women’s roles to today’s wrestling fans. It’s part therapy, part interview, all shoot. It’s another Breaking Kayfabe.

Al Snow always has something to say…and usually to wrestling fans. Snow seems on an unending quest to help educate the fan on various aspects of the sport. So when given the chance to answer the public in the YouShoot forum, he agreed. Problem is, Al doesn’t always have the most courteous manner in addressing that public. Well, neither do you! In this hilarious YouShoot, you and Al mix it up in the forum of ideas. Whether it’s the “best match on the card” or the origin of the term “kayfabe,” Mr. Snow is ready to make you a little smarter. Think you can handle it? Give it a shot with this brand new YouShoot!

YOUSHOOT was created for those with something to say, and those who would say it fearlessly. YOUSHOOT was created for fans and talent alike, both of whom would fit that bill. And The Raging Bull Manny Fernandez has certainly fulfilled his end of that promise! Manny has plenty to ask about…from the territories he traveled to the dozens of bar fights he seems to enjoy. From his lessons learned as a veteran, to his issues with a fair share of fellow workers, Manny opens up on everything you wanted to know. He makes no apologies for those comments and Lord, there are a fair number of names getting the “You Dick!” Ask anything you want…just stay out of the bar when he comes in and GET THAT INVADER MASK OFF YOUR FACE!!! …and get ready for a shoot… a YOUSHOOT!

This transitional year of 1990 would see a move away from some of what made wrestling cool in the 1980s. The company would try, with varying degrees of success, to prepare for tomorrow and where the business might go. Heck..maybe it wasn’t with pro bodybuilding or Gobbledy Gookers. But they had to give it a shot! They would transition the heavyweight title away from Hulkamania and more towards the Warrior galaxies above! A red-faced preacher type was getting in our faces every week and driving the babyfaces crazy. The man behind that character was also running much of WWE TV that year and he is our guest for an exclusive journey back to that year of 1990…Bruce Prichard. Join Bruce and get the inside scoop on everything from the ICOPRO to the lawsuits…from the Legion of Doom to the Battle Kat…you’ll get the good and the bad!!!

It’s 1990 and things are about to change. One of wrestling’s most celebrated managers and bookers would see his successful tenure in WCW come to an abrupt end. There would be Black Scorpions, a Mysterious Pearl, and a fake Sting, among other things, to keep fans riveted. But perhaps it’s what we weren’t able to see that makes this year all the more interesting. Head back to the tumultuous year of 1990 with Jim Cornette as he draws back the curtain on the booking decisions, ratings, and the blowouts with WCW head honcho Jim Herd in this entertaining and informative edition of the Timeline series. We will show you the WCW/TBS documents as Jim narrates the story that would prove to be the end of his run with the company…in all the glorious detail you’d expect from Timeline and the spellbinding rancor you’d expect from Cornette!

If you're a fan of YOUSHOOT, you know he's one of the most referenced people on the shows. 2 Cold Scorpio's name comes up in tales of ECW, party stories, and... ehm... physical prowess. And now Scorp has agreed to sit down and answer all of your questions about those and all other topics on your mind. 2 Cold has worked in all the majors as well as Japan so he has stories from all over the map! He doesn't hold back on all the details, whether we are talking about the late night hotel room exploits wherein Tod becomes God, or his own battles with addiction to crack cocaine. This is what YouShoot is all about, peeps... honesty and fun... all on YOUSHOOT!!!

TOD IS GOD! TOD IS GOD! Most on the inside know this mantra well. But just how well do you know the man referenced? Well it’s time to turn all of YOU fans loose and ask him anything and everything you’ve ever wanted to know! Tod holds nothing back as he lets you inside ECW, its workers, its women, the arena, and…yes…the Travelodge! Go inside the complicated relationship between Tod and Paul E, and hear about the strains first hand. The YouShoot games are back…we got hos, dicks, and a whole lot more! Is Tod God? See for yourself in another uncensored, unapologetic edition of the show that changed the shoot!

Imagine toiling away in comic matches and bouncing around ringside in a secondary role when suddenly, you are thrust into a huge angle beside the boss, playing his son! Someone must’ve wished on a four-leaf clover because that was 2007 for this LIttle Bastard! And he’s taking you inside that and so much more!!! Join Swoggle and examine more of the brand-split era with a view from the inside, a little lower than usual.

Misterrrrrrrrrrrr…… Okay enough already! You'll see that fans can't get enough of the gimmick as they give it right back to Ken Anderson in his appearance on YOUSHOOT! Anderson has taken the oath and answers the fans as they sound off on everything from Bob Holly to his firing. Anderson isn't afraid to open up and name names when it comes to who he thinks stabbed him in the back in WWE. *cough* Cena *cough* It's more R rated fun with an outspoken dude with heat with more people than he knew! It's Mr Anderson… ANDERSON…on YOUSHOOT!

Go inside the build-up to Wrestlemania 2 with King Kong Bundy, and and his headlining match in Los Angeles against the legendary Hulk Hogan in a big blue steel cage.

The white-hot Four Horsemen were storming through Jim Crockett Promotions as 1987 began. Fans came out by the tens of thousands to see them hopefully get their comeuppance. They were hated, and loved for being hated. But no one knew that an implosion to that original Horsemen line-up was coming. Heck, who thought Ole would ever be cheered?! But as good as business was, subtle shifts began to signal potential trouble. Crockett moves his entire operation to Dallas upon expanding there, incurring sizable expenses. Ron Garvin would win the Heavyweight title as houses began to suffer. What was to come? Join arguably the most hated member of wrestling’s most notorious faction ever, as Tully Blanchard sits down with you to draw back the curtain on everything happening in 1987.

To understand what ECW became, we must learn from where it came. In a wrestling world invaded by Goons, pig farmers, and Sparky Plugs, there would soon operate a wrestling church in South Philadelphia. That site preached gospel to wrestling fans longing for some danger and believability. And for this very special edition of the series we head back to that very location, the former ECW Arena. Our guest for this exploration of the very inception of ECW is the founder, Tod Gordon. Tod will take you inside everything that formed the company and fostered the identity that the big feds would try to emulate. From humble beginnings to sudden glory, this is the tale of how it happened! Plus a great bonus feature as Tod takes us through the former ECW Arena!

As ECW rounds the corner of the decade that made them, cracks in the façade deepen and the company's challenges mount. But that's largely invisible to the bloodthirsty fans that begin packing venues in cities new to ECW.

He may be smaller in stature, but he is big enough to agree to open up on YouShoot. Join Swoggle as he fields your questions about everything from Vince, to The Muppets. This guy may be known as a "bully" to others, but he certainly learns to laugh at himself through the course of this appearance...especially as he begins to realize a bunch of these questions are coming from the boys with whom he spent his time in a certain large federation. We will let you in on all the inside jokes that the boys have sent in to rattle Swoggle! Plus, the YouShoot games are here too, from the Ho Bag to Measuring Up! Swoggle was a big YouShoot fan in the past...but can he watch THIS edition?!?!?!

In the days of Jim Crockett Promotions, 1986 was a standout year, seeing record gates, a record Starrcade, and a healthy roster of huge stars. Flair, Dusty, Magnum, Nikita, The Midnight Express, The Four Horsemen, and our guests for this edition of Timeline: The History of WCW were fanning the flames for JCP. Join Ricky and Robert, the Rock n Roll Express, and head back to what were truly glory days for what would become WCW. The duo detail everything you’d want to know about the road, the roster, the women, and the tag titles. It was the best of times for the RnR, despite the revelation here of repeated efforts of a certain charismatic booker to break up the team and bury the two guys he was sharing the babyface spotlight with. It’s all here…in 1986!

How can one who is known for a wrestling finisher involving his pecker NOT be a guest on YouShoot?! Well, wonder no more as Joey Ryan agrees to open up about all things including and beyond dick-spots. Joey's unique finisher has become a viral sensation around the world but there's so much more substance to this man..... Like all the porn stars he's been with! Get on this crazy ride and hear about life on the road, working the indies and the majors, and get all the deets on living the life all single men dream of! There is absolutely nothing Joey won't discuss so all your questions are covered in another edition of the series made for guys like this...YOUSHOOT!

With the nWo in full swing, there seemed no way that WCW could lose the momentum they’d built. Huge stars appeared on TV weekly as Nash, Hall, Syxx, Hogan, Savage, Flair, Bret and Sting were red hot and would drive ratings high. Starrcade would deliver WCW’s highest buyrate in 1997 as well. Now head inside that operation with one of the engineers of the nWo, Kevin Nash. Join Kev for this 3+ hour journey into WCW and hear about putting all the pieces together and playing the game of wrestling politics to perfection. Nash is open and honest as usual and holds no opinion close to the vest. It all goes on the table and if you ever wondered what was going on inside the company during the glory days of the nWo…wonder no more!!! From the contracts to the characters…it’s all here in this edition of Timeline: The History of WCW!

Could there be anything worse for RVD's quest for balance and zen than an episode of YOUSHOOT?! Well, he found out very quickly that taking the YOUSHOOT oath means total honesty. That doesn't always go hand in hand with one's chi. Join the always honest RVD as he tackles all your questions ranging from ECW to WWE and all the characters met in between. Laugh as RVD can't help but offer his thoughts on Paul E, Vince, Shane and so many more. Wanna know who Rob might have come close to laying out? Then watch him play "Pick A Hand!" And you know there's a ton he has to say about the legalization of cannabis. Also you'll learn RVD is a mafia aficionado and can go toe to toe with Sean on La Cosa Nostra history!

The Attitude Era has become a benchmark in WWE history, universally agreed to signify one of the most successful eras in the company’s history. This year would rivet us to TVs, eagerly awaiting Stone Cold’s next move against his nemesis and chess master Mr. McMahon. ‘Smart marks’ would just as eagerly await the Tuesday morning ratings. So as seemingly everyone was awaiting something, our guest for this edition of Timeline was trenched down with Vince McMahon, busy helping create what would shock us next Monday. Join WWE’s former head writer Vince Russo and head inside the locker rooms, writing meetings, and everywhere else once restricted and relive the era that breathed new life into wrestling’s biggest company.

From the shadows emerges this most mysterious figure, now prepared to open up to the YOUSHOOT fans. Vampiro has taken the YOUSHOOT oath and agreed to talk about everything personal and professional that you asked. From his time in Mexico, to current day in Lucha Underground this international talent is outspoken and totally outrageous on all topics. Vampiro is very amusing and comical but can also go dark...WAY dark, when touching on his forays into the paranormal. Vampiro fields your questions about WCW, his troubled relationship with Konnan, voodoo, drugs, oh, and nailing all the telenovella actresses that Univision could serve up! Get ready...it's another uncensored and outrageous YOUSHOOT!

Sometimes it seems as if the uncensored, unapologetic series YouShoot were made solely for a particular guest. One could make that case as Scott Hall sits down in the hotseat at last! Scott tackles all your questions ranging from his exploits with drink and drugs, to the Kliq, to his storied in-ring career, and so much more. Play the YouShoot games with another totally open and honest guest on this shoot series that changed them all! Your videos and questions, as always, are the real star of the show.

We once again retreat into the personal lives of pro wrestling's stars and uncover what lies hidden beneath the facade they've created with their in ring characters. This time Breaking Kayfabe takes a personal journey into Kevin Nash's past and present, away from the ring. This is an extremely intimate journey as Kevin allows Sean into the headline-making arrest and the struggles at home, as well as the realities of a life in the ring and on the road. Explore this complex man and enjoy the journey as Sean takes Kevin all over the map and watch the rare rapport they share as they cover almost everything and anything. Part therapy, part interview...all shoot. It's the series that reminds us "they're people."

Before taking on the identity of WCW, Jim Crockett Promotions would get great national exposure on WTBS after buying the slot from Vince McMahon for $1 million. Their stars were now stars all over the country, and our guest for this edition was becoming the biggest babyface in the company. Magnum TA had just arrived from Mid South and was taking the territory by storm, heading toward the US Title and becoming the #1 challenger for Flair. He’d feud with Tully, battle Flair, and help JCP begin its transition to what would become known as WCW. 1985 is the first year in our journey, so come along and join Magnum and hear about the red hot year that would propel the company into a decade and a half wild ride.

There are watershed moments in the history of pro wrestling where the business is redefined, reinvented, or otherwise recast in a new mold. 1994 saw one of those moments when Hulk Hogan signed with the archenemy, WCW. It would reshape wrestling and create a new kind of competitive drama. And behind all of this was a mastermind who would go on to helm WCW and achieve the unthinkable. Join Eric Bischoff as he takes you back to the year when he began his ascension up the ranks of WCW and fired the opening salvo of what would become a “war.” Go inside the oft discussed talent meetings. Hear about the hirings and firings first-hand, right here! Everything you’ve wanted to know about Eric’s formulation of the plan to bring down Rome begins HERE, in 1994 with Okerlund, Heenan, Hogan, Savage, and so much more! Become an insider during WCW’s turbulent times, with the tensions between Dusty and Flair, Flair’s reluctant “retirement,” a budget that was unmanageable and ratings that were drowning.

Our most recent guest is a recent inductee into WWE’s version of the Hall of Fame, and he’s come here to YOUSHOOT to talk about everything that got him inducted. Rikishi is a proud descendant of a bloodline fully entrenched in pro wrestling and he discusses it at length here, as well as all the unpredictable and uncensored topics you had for him.

Some say it was the pinnacle of the ECW movement. It was the year 1996 and the company was all wrestling fans could talk about. The crew of misfits and rebels were becoming stars and to here this current guest describe it...The life of excess would mark 96 as one of the 'lost years.' But Raven remembers enough to take you inside the renegade federation in this explosive year of 1996.

It's January 1989 and significant changes are coming for WCW. There would soon be a change in bookers with Dusty heading out. Jim Herd is taking the helm as executive vice president of the company and within a year a series of confounding decisions would result in damaged ratings, confusion in creative, a nearly empty Superdome, Ding-Dongs and a disappointing Bash tour. Jim Cornette returns to the timeline series and now takes you inside the WCW in 1989. He's brought along all his paperwork from the company for that year...TV formats, ratings, reports, journal entries...for a ride that's as entertaining as it is informative. It's classic Corny as he takes us back to a time in WCW that has to be heard to be believed.

Breaking Kayfabe is the wrestling world’s forum for the stars of the ring to unveil themselves. They emerge from under their characters and we see the human beings that lived beneath what was on television for years. Some tried harder than others to protect the manufactured personas, and possibly none lived their gimmick more than Terry Brunk when he became Sabu. Join Sean Oliver as he peels away the layers of Brunk and we meet the man with a historic wrestling family legacy, and a man living with the pain of being one of wrestling’s most death-defying athletes. Here is a complex man, wrapped in the pride he has for what he’s done, the pain for things he’s done, and the realization that the end is near. This is as real as it gets, guys…Breaking Kayfabe with the man you knew as Sabu, but will now never forget, as Terry.

Our series travels to a year where the world’s largest federation is split among three brands. In this era of roster shuffles and drafts, find out what it meant to be a member of one of those brands. And just how those brands worked together to create winning television. Join Brian Myers, as he outlines the journey of his character, Curt Hawkins, and life inside the WWE in the new millennium.

Atop the tag team division in the WWE in 1981 stood a fiery youngster and his brother figure, both of whom had the looks and the brawn to bring fans to their feet all over the Northeast. They slammed Moondogs, battled Samoans, and were high-flying champions full of excitement. Head back to 1981 with Rick Martel and enter the locker rooms walked by Vincent J. McMahon, Gorilla Monsoon, Capt Lou Albano and the legends of yesteryear. This may have been a simpler time in the business, but the lessons learned were hard, and so was the road. Come into the venues of yesteryear and see who was getting over and who wasn’t. This is the real deal…a time with no cable TV, no pay-per-view, and one hour of syndicated TV per week…and the arenas were packed.

It is said that the brightest lights burn out the fastest, and the explosive flash that was ECW is headed for the twilight in 2000. The company would collapse in early 2001 and we will join Justin Credible to walk down the plank toward the end of an era. Credible would wear the ECW title in 2000 and complete the journey he calls the most creatively satisfying time in his career. Put this one at the right end of the DVD shelf as we detail the closing chapter on the federation that changed the game. The renegades would leave behind a wrestling legacy like no other as ECW fades with very little fanfare…in this edition of Timeline!

G-Rilla, Monster BC…call him what you want and he just may call you a thing or two as well! BC has taken the YouShoot oath and agreed to answer everything you have for him about wrestling, the world of Snoop, and just about anything else under the sun! Monster has lots of hilarious tales about his fellow WWE stars and he tells them here. Get ready to let Monster BC into your home for another YOUSHOOT! Tell ya mamma!

The Ric Flair phenomenon wasn't turning out to be what Vince had hoped it would be, and five names were put on a list to be the new flag-bearer for the world's largest wrestling federation. And one of those names is here to take you back to a troubled time in WWE history, but a great time for himself. The Excellence of Execution himself, Bret Hart joins us for a journey back to the year he became the World Heavyweight Champion and took of on a singles journey that truly made him a pro wrestling legend. Its a tough time in WWE as scandals are surfacing and sending the business on a downturn. The kid-friendly product is being hampered by allegations of sexual misconduct and steroid use. But Bret would be the breakout star and deliver what juiced up monsters could no longer.

Prepare for a trip inside the man responsible for the character of The Franchise Shane Douglas. Troy Martin is universally regarded as one of the most intelligent, well-spoken men in the wrestling business, and now he sits down across from Sean Oliver for a trip into his past, as well as his future. Troy tackles his childhood and the pain of loss as well as the formative years in his education and career. Martin’s successes did not come without a price. We will explore the pains of divorce, addiction, and the frustration of education from a teacher’s perspective. After removing himself from Extreme Rising, he is set to embark on a venture to launch a new, revolutionary wrestling organization and you’ll hear all about it. It’s all here…high school, college, wrestling, teaching, and yes, Target…all in this latest edition of Breaking Kayfabe.

Two organizations, two Heavyweight titles, dipping business and a whole lot of confusion comes to the WCW in 1993. Now you can head back there as well with our tour guide Vader, who was holding the WCW title. Sure, there was to be an NWA champion during this time as well, but Vader’s title was the WCW title which carried more weight…didn’t it? In this year we will hear of Eric Bischoff’s ascension, prepping Hogan’s return, Dusty’s booking and Flair’s booking as the Nature Boy returned to WCW TV. In this year Vader changed the game as he became the first 400-pounder to hit a moonsault and set records in Japan while holding the WCW belt. IT’S TIME…IT’S TIME… For another trip back in the WCW with the one and only Vader!

That may say it all, from the lips of our most recent guest on the series that seeks to get inside the people of the wrestling business. Jim Cornette joins Sean on Breaking Kayfabe to probe all that contributes to his admitted anger issues. Jim’s most recent hiatus from wrestling has brought him a clarity and happiness he’d not experienced in years…and he agrees to head down the dark path here at the risk of upsetting the applecart by going through the entire Ring of Honor catastrophe from start to finish. Jim tackles all that went wrong there, and also addresses TNA, his struggle with anger, and the falling out between him and Kayfabe Commentaries after producing the shoot industry’s most celebrated programs together. It’s nearly three hours of Cornette’s dark journey. Are you ready for it?

You’d never know it by looking, but Balls Mahoney is a true blue Renaissance Man! This ECW legend, culinary aficionado, and well-read chap is here to take the YouShoot oath and answer everything and anything you have for him. Balls sets the record straight on many of the most pressing issues of the day…like vomiting on fans, New Jack, and his teeth. Balls is honest and straight-up with your wild and crazy questions. Balls plays the classic YouShoot games like “What’s In the Bag,” “The Ho Bag,” “What’s in My Mouth,” and even takes a trip to the other side with a Ouija board. It’s all the uncensored fun and games uptight wrestling fans think you shouldn’t be having! Only on the one and only… …YOUSHOOT!

In early 1963, Toots Mondt and Vincent J. McMahon seceded from the governance of the NWA to form the WWWF. Shortly thereafter they would crown their champion and hang the fortune of their venture on him. That man will be your guide for a journey back to 1963 and the formative years of the WWWF up through 1969. Bruno Sammartino was selling out houses all across the northeast and was privy to all the inner workings of the company.

Breaking Kayfabe returns to explore the life of another wrestling star whose life outside the ring was as captivating as his work inside it. We head inside the rock n’ roll lifestyle that seemed so wild and fun years ago. But now Sean probes that surface and we see what truly lies beneath all the fun we assume the superstars were having. Marty Jannetty lets us inside his world as a Rocker, and the struggles that followed. Marty’s troubled home life as a youth may have been a precursor to some activities that followed, from drugs, to arrests, to questionable practices with women. As Marty bares his soul in this hard-hitting series, we see his road to salvation and his born-again status. But can the soul of this addict and perpetual sinner truly be saved? Judge for yourself as we present another edition of the series that reminds us all…”they’re people.”

The year of 1993 saw the pressures of indictments befall the WWE, but there was a glimmer of hope in restoring the image of the P.R. troubled company. There was a ‘narcissistic’ heel working the arenas that would soon become a flag bearing, all-American hero. And that guy is here to take you back in time with him. Lex Luger became the focus of the company as he led the charge across the US in his famous “Lex Express” tour bus, as the biggest wrestling federation in the world sought to polish off its bad press and attempt to build wrestling’s superhero babyface for the next generation in wrestling. But did it work?

We’re still in the 80s and we’re flying high! Hogan is still drawing his legion of fans and the WWE is running 2,3, and even 6 (yes SIX) shows in a day. Things are good and Hogan’s best friend in the business would get his highest profile run, albeit in the form of a very odd gimmick. Brutus Beefcake had become “The Barber” and was struttin’ and cuttin’ his way to headlining Summerslam with Hogan against Savage and Zeus. Yeah, remember him?! Go back in time and relive yet another chapter in the ongoing history of the world’s biggest federation, and fill in another year in the 80s on your Timeline shelf!

There has never been another name in pro wrestling that has sparked so much debate. Savior? Provocateur? Whatever you think, he was behind the most talked about moments in a wrestling ring. And now he’s here to take you through a first-hand account of the most rocky time in WCW’s history. In what Vince has declared his last wrestling interview, he has nothing to lose in setting the record straight on many issues he’s never been able to be open and honest about…until now. Vince tackles the tough stuff head on, and lets you inside the meetings and arguments inside WCW, as the ratings war was winding down. As Russo came into WCW with great hopes, he also realized there was a target on his back from day one. Did he ever really have a shot? They didn’t realize it, but he heard their whipsers around ever corner. WCW 2000…from the only man that can tell it!

Was he evil incarnate? The twisted leader of the Dungeon of Doom stable was busy on both sides of the camera in 1996 as some very familiar faces to WWE fans began popping up on WCW TV and were preparing a takeover of the company. This formation of the nWo would launch WCW over the top, as it would soon overtake WWE in the ratings. Kevin Sullivan was booking the WCW, but it was getting really crowded in those decision making meetings. It seemed everyone had an opinion, and Hulk Hogan’s creative control clause would lead to some of the oddest decisions in pro wrestling, as many in power could only sit back and watch. Here comes Nash, Hall, Waltman and YOU! Join the Bookerman in 1996!

This Kid was ready to impress everyone on the biggest wrestling stage in the world, and also make some very powerful friends as well. It’s 1994, the business is preparing to rebound in a couple of years, and the guys are jockeying for position for that ride. Sean Waltman will take you back to that year in another edition of the Timeline series. Bret and Lex are vying for footing at the top, while Nash, Shawn, and Razor are ready to get the world’s attention. This was such a critical time in the formation of the Kliq, and Waltman will show us how it happened.

It's DDP and it's another edition of the show that changed the shoot industry. DDP is one of wrestling's straightest shooters and his recent quest to cleanse the lives of the more challenged figures in the sport has made him one of the most talked about characters in the game. And now, he's ready to ANSWER YOU! You sent videos and emails and DDP sits down to give you the straight dish on everything we give him. He's one of the most open and honest people and now he opens up on Kimberly, Kanyon, Beefcake, WCW, David Arquette and so much more on the one, the only...YOUSHOOT!

The venerable manager of the Four Horsemen and trusted WCW office member JJ Dillon is the next star to jump in the Kayfabe Commentaries time machine. The time the year is 1988 in WCW and Ted Turner is about to step in and buy the company from the Crockett family. They're beginning to feel the battle wounds as WWE and WCW begin running big events against each other. The war is in high gear. J.J. Dillon takes us inside the company and also inside the office, as he was working for the Crocketts there as well. Hear how torn he was as Arn and Tully, his benchmark Horsemen benchmark, jump to the WWE. A star is born as Sting main events against Flair. But did he ever really 'have it?'

Our latest guest to bare their soul on our newest series probably has more to sift through than any guest to date. Tammy Sytch’s battery of arrests and rehab visits has catapulted her back into the national spotlight in unflattering portrayals in every media outlet. Now she sits with Sean, in a sober and reflective interview, in an effort to get down to who she really is. Will this even be possible? Tammy has admitted to concocting lies and tall tales in previous interviews. Now, in the psychologically probing series “Breaking Kayfabe,” Tammy is challenged by Sean to cut the B.S. and try and really fix the deep issues she undoubtedly has. The series that shows the stars as people is back with an episode ripped from the headlines.

Hang on kids, we're off for a wild ride with Big Sexy on the latest edition of the show that changed the shoot genre forever! And we're headed all over the place with Nash... from the bar to the vineyard to the locker room, Kevin Nash opens up and fires like the straight shooter he is. Whether we're talking about the boys, the girls, or John Travolta's wandering hands, Kevin is answering everything you got and more... on the one, the only...YOUSHOOT!

1980 in the WWF. Business isn’t so hot. Backlund isn’t drawing the houses they thought he would and business is moribund at best. That is, until a young Larry Zbyszko proposes an idea to his mentor that would change the course of the federation, and make the career of Zbyszko himself. This journey into 1980 is an incredible illustration of how Bruno Sammartino gave Larry Zbyszko the education of a lifetime in both the construction of the “Shea Stadium” program, as well as how to play the game of politics with the heavy hitters, like McMahon. No one saw the impact this angle would have on the gate at Shea, the direction of the company, the shadow it would cast on World Champion Backlund, and the heat and hatred Zbyszko would have to get used to living with. Relive the angle that re-ignited the biggest federation in the world…from the INSIDE…from the angle’s conception, to holding McMahon up for more money.

Lanny addresses his divorce, road life, interests, and all the chips on his shoulder. Lanny also dissects brother Randy Savage's difficult life, his sagely advice, and reclusive nature. Sean and Lanny cover Liz, Angelo, Stephanie, Kiyosaki, showtunes, bidets, and everything you can imagine.

The shoot-style series Timeline brought the inner workings of the WWE and ECW to the historians out there. And now the series has spun-off again as the spotlight is shone on WCW. From the Crockett days in the mid-80s up to its purchase in 2001, the WCW was the staunchest competitor, igniting the famed Monday Night Wars. But in this edition we take you back to times that weren’t so glorious. Four Horseman member Barry Windham travels back to 1991 with us as we look some odd booking decisions and the period in the business between the glorious 80s and the high octane 90s.

The WWE would soon feel the explosion of what has come to be known as the second boom period. But in 1995, those benefits could not yet be reaped. Business was down, the B shows were cancelled. What could turn this around? Vince hoped it would be a group of guys working at the top of his card…a group that became known as the clique. Kevin Nash will take us back to ’95 when the kliq was formed, and he was given the strap. But was he REALLY Vince’s “guy?” Join Kevin for a journey into this pivotal year as the kliq solidified their stranglehold on the WWE.

The first Wrestlemania is history and business is booming! Wrestlers are making top dollar, traveling all over the world, seeing dolls in their image, and some can even quit teaching and wrestle full time! Especially if they were in one of the WWE’s hottest angles with Macho Man Randy Savage and Elizabeth. And such is the case with George The Animal Steele. The man behind that scary and lovable character takes you back to 1986 and examines all the major happenings in wrestling’s biggest federation. Saturday Night’s Main Event skits…a jealous Savage…JYD…Adonis…turning babyface…Albano…the McMahons…Steele’s students…Wrestlemania 2…the Funks…”King” Harley Race…The Wrestling Album…the dangers of TV…more…more…MORE!!!

After leaving TNA in 2012, Vince Russo was laying low. Out of the limelight, he only became more of a mythic figure to smart fans. Here is his first public appearance after that…where he answers all of your most pressing questions!

The edgy, dark product that was gracing WWE TV in the mid-90s gave birth to a towel wearing, adult film character named Val Venis. The man behind that character was Sean Morley and the year 1999 would see a high-point for Val…as he won the Intercontinental title. But celebration would be short lived as a parents’ group trained their crosshairs on the risque product and the “Right to Censor” angle was born. The porn star was gone, and the new clothes just didn’t fit Morley or his aspirations. We go back to another year in the TIMELINE!!!

During this era of the brand split, we began seeing promos shot at an Irish castle, featuring an intriguing figure. This guy would debut in January, get some gold around his waist, and work the “Smackdown” brand in the WWE. Dave Finlay is that guy, and he’s our guide back to the year 2006 in the world’s biggest federation. Finaly would also agent for the the WWE, as well as train, so he’s got a very unique perspective of life in the federation, both on camera and off. Come back with us just a few years, and see life from inside the BLUE side of the WWE.

The effects of the hardcore revolution were well felt by 1998 and their reach was wide, penetrating into the major feds and showing them how to have a little "attitude." So much so that WWE and WCW were now plucking talent right out of ECW and giving them contracts to appear on a massive national stage.

She has been a magnet for controversy since bursting onto the wrestling scene. Chyna knows how to grab headlines, whether it’s when she began wrestling men, winning titles, mixing it up on The Surreal Life, or joining Vivid Video. And now her ultimate headline…opening up to YOU! Chyna has taken the YouShoot oath and agreed to take all of your questions! Waltman? Check. Hunter? Check. The YouShoot Games? Check. Steph? Check. You wanted her…now you got her. Get ready to spend a night with Chyna!

Universally regarded as one of the greatest shoot interviews ever, Cornette leads us on another journey into 1997. RAW is going live every week. The Shawn and Bret situation is reaching its boiling point. Bad news from Pillman’s hotel. 1997 is the year that will set up the big boom period to follow, as Austin, The Rock, and Undertaker were getting set to ignite the business. And our guest for this tour is none other than the most outspoken shoot DVD guest ever, Jim Cornette. Jim was working WWE creative in ’97 so you have unprecedented access to every meeting, locker room fight, and TV taping there was. And Cornette brings his WWE agent journal along just to make sure he gets every detail right!!!

The fuse has been ignited on the explosive popularity of the WWE in 1985. The world was about to get its first Wrestlemania. The roster was loaded with the country’s hottest talent and the ‘Fed was all over cable TV, and the networks as well. Royalty checks begin pouring in for WWE stars as their images hit lunchboxes and dolls all over the world. The business has moved beyond wrestling as music and pop culture embrace it in this magical time. Saturday Night’s Main Event…Wrestlemania…CBS Cartoon…Mr. T…The IC strap…The Dream Team…Andy Worhol…Rick McGraw’s death…Rita Marie…Snakes and Bulldogs…Tito…The 20/20 expose’…The Wrestling Album…Blading…Cyndi Lauper…Albano’s face turn…

The closing month of 1983 in WWE saw the arrival of an individual that would go on to set the entire pro wrestling landscape on its head. Roddy Piper’s effect on the largest federation in the world would set up Hogan for his massive championship run, introduce the concept of Wrestlemania, and push TV ratings to the stratosphere. Simply put…Piper helped make it all happen for WWE in the 80s. Join Roddy for a three and a half hour journey back in time and see how each piece of the puzzle was laid. Roddy, Vince, Hogan, Dave Wolf and others had a vision of what was to come. Now head back to the birth of the boom and hear about it all in the first-person, from one of the all-time greats. Here comes the ‘Pit, MTV, the coconut, and the HOT SCOT himself! All in this edition of the open-ended historical telling of the WWE’s history.

The ongoing history of wrestling's most dangerous and innovative organization in recent times, rolls on! This edition is very special as we tackle the beginning of ECW's "hardcore era," as Eastern became Extreme. This 1994 edition is told by the man that was at the center of that transition, as he grabbed a mic, threw down a belt, and changed wrestling history.

The WWE began to see the marketability of its lady wrestlers as both performers and sex symbols in the last decade or so. And man, did we find someone who has some stuff to say about it! Lisa Moretti had an incredibly successful run as the character “Ivory” on WWE television. Join her as she takes us back to 2001 and we will live one year in the world’s most storied wrestling federation through the eyes of a DIVA!

See the stars roast Corny! Featuring: Jim Cornette, Al Snow, Bob Holly, Dutch Mantell, Dennis Condrey, Bobby Eaton, Nick Dinsmore, Missy Hyatt, Bill Apter, Prince Nana, Amy Lee, Ryan Maher, Sean Morton and Sean Carlucci.

Damn!!! We didn’t know we’d get so many submissions! The YouShoot Army came out in massive numbers for this one! You knew Sean would tell it like it is, and man, does he ever! We can’t stress enough, that these are the recollections and opinions of Sean Waltman and not necessarily KC! We don’t know whether Jenna or Chyna had more…ehh…skills. There’s no stone unturned, and this is more of a therapy session than an interview. He lets it all out. Sean Waltman’s honesty and bravery is remarkable. Get ready for one of the most memorable editions of wrestling’s #1 shoot interview series. All this on the one, the only…YouShoot!

The 80s are winding down, business has seen its amazing peak and the arenas are still full. The world’s biggest federation is front and center in the spotlight, fighting to keep its growing market share. But Ted Turner has purchased WCW. The fallout of Duggan and Sheik’s arrest is still in the news. Wrestlers aren’t getting along. It’s big time, it’s 1988! Summerslam…Wrestlemania…Ventura…Adonis dies…Duggan/Sheik arrest…the locker room…Rougeaus and Bulldogs…road life with Jake the Snake…Turner gets in the ring…Von Raschke…Vachon…Survivor Series…Saturday Night’s Main Event…

HE HASN’T STOPPED TALKING SINCE WE LEFT HIM IN YOUSHOOT! That was a while ago, but 4 hours just didn’t seem to be enough! There were so many questions and topics that didn’t fit into the format for Jim Cornette’s first YouShoot appearance, so we’re doing it again. And this time it’s all the fun stuff outside of Cornette’s career. Last time we touched on all the territories he hit, but this time it’s the other stuff we get to explore. Hands down, the most controversial man in the pro wrestling business sounds off about all kinds of hot-button topics…on the ONLY shoot-style show conducted entirely by YOU!!! Last time it was all wrestling, and now Corny sounds off on all your crazy ass questions! As always nothing is safe, and he’ll “answer it all!”

It was before Hogan, before Ventura, and before charisma counted as much, perhaps moreso, as mat skills. It was 1977 in New York and Bruno’s run would soon come to an end. Enter The Superstar… Superstar Billy Graham burst onto the scene in the WWWF, unseated Bruno Sammartino, and rewrote the rulebook for pro wrestling heels. And now he wants you to join him on a journey to that pivotal year, where he’ll tell you everything that was happening within the walls of the largest wrestling federation in the world! We pick up the action in April of 1977, just before Graham gets the strap, and we follow the action into 1978, when Backlund takes it. The Sammartino title change…the McMahons…the ‘Wiz’…Japan…Backlund…the backroom dealings…missed opportunities…Albano’s antics…working the blade…the TV tapings… …all that and EVERYTHING that was happening in 1977/78 in WWE!!!

So you thought you would make her blush?! Ha! Maria Kanellis sits down with us for another edition of Kayfabe Commentaries' series that changed the wrestling DVD industry... and she opens up abouve the Divas, The Celebrity Apprentice, the WWE office and so much more! All this on the one, the only ... YouShoot! Some topics discussed: Johnny Ace & the Divas; Real or Fake; John Cena; Finlay's training; Wrestlemania; Donald Trumps hair; The Ho-Bag; straight-edge; perverts.

YouShoot returns with what will certainly be its biggest release to date! The King of the Shoot Interview agrees to sit down and sift through all of your questions for nearly four hours! It's truly an event not to be missed by wrestling fans. In this remarkable edition of the hit show, we start in Jim's early days as a fan and proceed through WCW, WWE, ECW, OVW, TNA and him Jim with all of your questions on those federations. And of course, we like to throw in some fun and games of our own... like when Jim plays Stump Corny, attempting to answer your trivia questions. Or perhaps a word association game that is sure to send Cornette's blood pressure higher... The Shit List! This is a journey through wrestling's major federations by the guy you most love to listen to. And the tour is led by the star of the show... YOU!!!

YouShoot is reserved for only those most provocative, and for this edition the controversial badass Bob Holly agreed to face his public! This is YouShoot, and guests agree to let fans have at them..and anything goes! And the fur gets flying here! The uncensored, unrelenting questions from you had Bob swinging right back. From Cappotelli to Lesnar, everything is coverred and Bob backs down from no one. Bob Holly... Bully? Coward? Or misunderstood? You be the judge for another edition of the series that changed the game... YouShoot!

The WWE had yet to go national. The talent raids had not begun. Hogan was still Verne’s guy. And the biggest draws in the company would revolve around the Intercontinental title, held by The Magnificent One, Don Muraco. And the inside story is here! The series that blows open the real, unauthorized story of the WWE is back, and we head into the 80s again! Backlund…Morales drops title…Allentown…Rocky feud…Snuka and Nancy…Gilbert’s crash…McMahon power shift…Invading California…Wizard’s passing…Iron Mike Sharpe and OCD…Madison Square Garden…Victory Magazine…

The new millenium is upon us and the WWE machine is cranking out product as fast and furiously as ever. The federation is loaded with big names and big ideas…like the WWE Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas…well, besides that one! Rikishi was working near the top of the card for the better part of the year, winning the IC title in 2000. And now he walks you through the entire year month-by-month. Hear about Rock, Triple H, Stephanie, Linda, Vinnie Mac and the whole gang as Timeline tackles Y2K!

This remarkable edition of the Guest Booker series was voted one of the best DVDs of 2009 in the Wrestling Observer when released on DVD, and now for the first time you can get it On Demand! What could have been remembered as pro wrestling’s most complelling storyline, has come to be known as the sport’s biggest blown opportunity. The WCW Invasion angle fell short of expectations and the wrestling world watched WWE swallow WCW without fanfare. Jim Cornette has a thing or twenty to say about that! One of wrestling’s most outspoken and creative minds attacks this edition of Guest Booker with unmatched vigor in this nearly 3 hour show. Watch Jim turn the tepid Invasion into a flaming hot angle as he books in remarkable detail with extensive explanation for each move.

At last, the storied history of wrestling’s biggest, most legendary federation can be told! Year-by-year, Kayfabe Commentaries will assemble the epic story of World Wrestling Entertainment, as told by the stars of the era. They were there. They’ll tell you about it. In this edition, 1987, our guest is The Honky Tonk Man. Travel back with him and go inside the locker rooms, hotel rooms, inside the ring, and on the road. Now the whole story of the WWE can be told!

Go back in time with Leon White and relive the birth of the Vader character, the creation of his entrance gear, and ultimately, his biggest matches. Leon sits down and watches the matches play before his eyes, as he relives every moment with you. Now, the shoot-style interview focuses on the individual matches and moments that made the legends what they were. Now you can examine the most poignant and profound in-ring moments with Leon “Baby Bull” White, Big Van Vader, Vader…whoever he was at the time! Join Leon White…at Ringside!

In 1986, the world came crumbling down around Fritz Von Erich’s World Class Championship Wrestling empire. Although the federation remained active, this crucial year was the blow they never recovered from. They lost talent, their association with the NWA, and their booker Ken Mantell. We now hop in the Guest Booker time machine and reinstate former WCCW booker Gary Hart in the driver’s seat. Under his direction, can WCCW be saved? Join us for this exploration of the mind of the late, great booker, Gary Hart. Gary’s talents are as remarkable as his tales from the road, all explored in this his final DVD. We are proud to enshrine Gary into the Guest Booker family.

Sandman takes the YouShoot pledge and ducks no question in this 2 hour and 20 minute edition of the wildest shoot-style series ever...YouShoot! Sit back, crack open a cold one, and see Hak answer the questions sent by YOU. It's all the fun and games you've come to expect from the YouShoot series.

Head back to 2007 and watch how Kayfabe Commentaries revolutionized the shoot-style interview genre with the premiere edition of YouShoot! We asked you, the public, to send us your video files and emailed questions that The Honky Tonk Man would have to answer on-camera, in front of the world. And you were told, as is the heart of the YouShoot series, to ask ANYTHING. It’s over two hours of outrageousness as one of pro wrestling’s most outspoken personalities is put on the hotseat – forced to answer exactly what the people want… …whether or not they want to hear it!

Hack is a television series that aired on the American CBS television network from 2002 to 2004. The series centers on the fictional life of a former police officer, Polish-American Mike Olshansky, who left the force after being charged with corruption and now works as a taxi driver in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Based on the bestselling book by Candace Bushnell, Sex and the City tells the story of four best friends, all single and in their late thirties, as they pursue their careers and talk about their sex lives, all while trying to survive the New York social scene. 

In cases ripped from the headlines, police investigate serious and often deadly crimes, weighing the evidence and questioning the suspects until someone is taken into custody. The district attorney's office then builds a case to convict the perpetrator by proving the person guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Working together, these expert teams navigate all sides of the complex criminal justice system to make New York a safer place.

Another entry in the series that chronicles the rise and implosion of ECW, is here. This time we head back to 1995 with the guy who was wearing the ECW title that year…The Sandman. ECW was headed for an explosion in popularity as the extreme nature of its brand began to reinvigorate jaded wrestling fans…the gang from South Philly started branching out…Florida, Delaware…and began to show the business that fans can believe again! Hard to believe that so much happens in only 12 months…but those are ECW months. Let Hak take you back to the year he carried the best for the growing company, set to blow up!

In an era where “PG” rated wrestling rules, it’s easy to forget about the late 90s and a wrestling product on television that featured irreverent, vulgar, and sexual themes. As today’s fan seems far less passionate about WWE offerings, perhaps what they need is a jumpstart with some of yesteryear’s themes. A product with “attitude.” This edition of Guest Booker features former OVW booker and current TNA creative member, Al Snow. Snow was right in the mix during the edgy attitude era, reminding audiences what “everybody wanted.” So how would he define the “attitude era” and just what separates that from today’s product? We figured we’d ask the always opinionated former booker that exact question. Snow tackles all that and so much more as we once again explore the lost art of booking with one of the creative minds of the business. Get ready to spend some time exploring the most controversial era in the sport with our Guest Booker…Al Snow

There was once a time when bookers sat in the audience to gauge the reaction to their decision. They realized that it was the fans that decided whether their ideas were good or not. Today, writers are disconnected from the desires of the paying fans, and their opinions and Internet postings are largely ignored. Bill Eadie booked at a time when the fans were everything. He learned from the greats that sat up in the “cheap seats” to hear what the true fans were saying. And he shares that old school mentality on this edition of Guest Booker. We give Bill the task of booking a breakup of one of wrestling’s most formidable teams. That team, Demolition, Eadie helped build. And now he’ll have to tear it down for his booking exercise. Bill Eadie reminds us that there was little relevance to a heel or babyface designation when someone was as over as Demolition was. And now he’ll try and tap into the fans’ imagination and have them choose sides…in this Guest Booker!

When you look at the WWE roster in 1996 you may be surprised at what you find. There were pig farmers, hockey players, hunters and more living cartoons than wrestlers. To make matters worse, two of the wrestling stars in the company would soon be jumping to the competition and igniting a war that would severely wound their former home base. But what if things were different? What if they stayed? That’s the premise in this edition of Guest Booker wherein we charge former WCW booking committee member Kevin Nash with the task of keeping himself and Scott Hall in WWE and booking it to correct all that was going awry. Kevin’s highly reality-based philosophy conflicts with much of what was happening in WWE at the time so how will he approach this? Go inside the big jump to WCW and watch Kevin undo it… On the critically acclaimed series Guest Booker!

In Spring of 2000, having expended their supply of bookers, World Championship Wrestling turned again to Vince Russo. But they almost didn’t. Now Jerry Jarrett, a main poised to help the ailing company, finally gets his chance in the latest edition of the critically acclaimed series Guest Booker. Jarrett is given control of the bloated, failing empire and an opportunity to revive it before ultimate peril. Jarrett is asked to trim a roster of dozens down to the bare necessities and use the remaining talent to create the angles that would finally allow them to be competitive with the WWE product again. How many guys? How many titles? How many angles? Just what on earth can get WCW back in the race?

It was supposed to be an old-school partnership. Jim Crockett Promotions was stepping in for a merger with Championship Wrestling from Florida. The promotions would have a talent swap, share their biggest cities, as well as their television exposure. Then it was over. Why? According to the late Mike Graham, son of CWF’s legendary Eddie Graham, the fix was in from the beginning. He alleges it was Crockett’s plan all along. The merger was an attempt to infiltrate and bankrupt the Florida territory that the Graham family had spent a lifetime cultivating. Mike was Eddie’s best friend. He was the only man alive with the insight into Eddie’s mind and the intricate machinations of his business, and Florida wrestling as a whole. Learn about Florida, Eddie, running the territory, fighting Crockett, Dusty’s departure and its effect on Eddie. And ultimately, the details surrounding the untimely death of Eddie Graham, told eerily enough by the son that would meet his fate soon after this taping.

It’s notable that the man whose booking was in part responsible for one of the biggest boom periods in wrestling, had nothing to do with wrestling’s most hotly anticipated angles. Vince Russo was already gone when the WWE completed its purchase of WCW and planned to integrate the talent and history of the WCW and NWA. Many feel WWE dropped the ball on this opportunity. What would Russo have done? The most controversial figure in pro wrestling in the last 15 years was not known for being in the ring or on camera. Russo was a writer and his decisions sparked passionate debate, wild ratings points, and hatred. Well now, we profile the creative mind of the most polarizing off-camera wrestling figure ever, and we have him bring his unique philosophies and techniques to the WCW Invasion angle. Love him, hate him…if you were running a federation, chances are you’d want him! For the first time, watch Vince Russo weave angles over the weeks and months after the WCW purchase.

On January 4, 2009 TNA was to give birth to a new era in pro wrestling. They said they were poised for the relaunch that would reinvent the company. And in doing so, they captured the imagination of the wrestling world. But what interested us was the creative workings of that company. So we bring you an individual that was on the booking team in TNA from the day Jeff Jarrett pitched him the crazy idea of starting a new company. Welcome inside TNA. Join Dutch Mantell and explore the TNA before any relaunches and “new directions.” You’ll get the philosophies and experiences of this well-traveled booker, and what he brought to the TNA table. And while we’re at it, we’ll see what HE would have done on January 4th and where he would have taken the company had he still been booking. Hogan, Bischoff, Russo, Cornette, Dixie…they’re all here. Join Dutch and relive his TNA years…and rewrite wrestling history!!!

It’s 1987 and Jim Crockett Promotions is about to claim ownership of Bill Watts’ legendary territory. With that will come an influx of talent from Watts’ roster. In reality, that purchase was rather unspectacular and nothing interesting was ever made of the acquisition. But through the magic of Guest Booker, we will have Terry Taylor, a booker who has worked creatively for WWE, WCW, and TNA, analyze the purchase and use his talents to try and conjur up a more compelling use of the expanded roster. Taylor was working for UWF at the time of the purchase, but we ask him to switch hats and display the skills and philosophies that made him such a valuable creative force in the eyes of the bosses at pro wrestling’s majors. Join us as Terry Taylor gives a veritable booking master class.

Baby’s got a pot roast on. Those fateful words ended Robert Fuller’s booking tenure with WCW back in the days of committees and confusion. So though he wouldn’t have had a chance to book Shawn Michaels jumping ship, we give him that opportunity here in our booking exercise. The latest Guest Booker on the only show that chronicles the minds of wrestling’s creative forces, was a booker for more than two decades. Fuller was given the book in Florida, Memphis, Continental, and WCW. And now he agrees to share his wealth of knowledge with our eager viewers, and students of the wrestling game. On the critically acclaimed series Guest Booker!

That’s our guest’s take on the happenings in Montreal when Vince McMahon strong-armed his belt back from his one time franchise player, Bret Hart. Millions watched, millions have their opinions about what took place. It remains wrestling’s most talked about screwjob. But how many people were actually THERE for it…for the meetings beforehand, the options the office was considering, the day to day events as the company was heading down a financially tumultuous road? And how many people were with Vince the night it all went down? Our Guest Booker, Bruce Prichard, was. Let Bruce take you back to the booking meetings and the locker room when Vince and Bret finally met. Prichard’s long tenure with WWE creative is covered as we spend time with a writer who transcended the goofy days of Goons and Mantaurs through the era of attitude.

Gagne, Crockett, Watts, Jarrett, Barnett. The biggest names behind the scenes in pro wrestling sat in a room in 1984 with one mission…beat Vince. Months of talent raids and interceptions of TV agreements stripped the territories of their power, and it was time to fight back. But egos, skullduggery and divided interests destroyed the final attempt at preserving the system. Now our Guest Booker, Greg Gagne, details the secret meetings, the interactions, and the fiasco that was Pro Wrestling USA. Through the magic of Guest Booker, we travel back and take another shot at consolidating the world of wrestling.

IT’S JUNE 2006 AND ECW WILL BE RAMPING UP AGAIN. WITH ONE EXCEPTION…GABE. Vince buys it. Gabe books it. That’s how it will go in this installment of the critically acclaimed series, Guest Booker. Gabe Sapolsky, three-time Wrestling Observer booker of the year and booker of Ring of Honor, joins us in our booking experiment. Gabe’s task is to take over ECW for Vince in June 2006, and book the remainder of the year up to and including the December to Dismember pay-per-view. Gabe steps from the shadows for the first time and applies his booking philosophies to the new ECW!

It is June 1996. Scott Hall and Kevin Nash leave the WWE and prepare to head to the competition. But in our world here, they land NOT in WCW…but rather ECW. And what if total creative control of their angles were given to the ECW champion of the moment? In this very special “booker-at-heart” edition of the show, Raven steps in and takes the book in June 1996, and books Hall’s and Nash’s angles right up to and including the first ECW pay-per-view Barely Legal, in April 1997. Raven steps in and proceeds to take over the show. He moves to the booking board for total control, and doesn’t come up for air until the end of the show. Raven books all of Hall’s and Nash’s angles in astounding detail.

The most crucial aspect of pro wrestling’s salability, its television, is explored. The man who wrote WWE television beside Vince McMahon and Pat Patterson for years, JJ Dillon, joins us to explore the art and science of writing wrestling television. We gave JJ a fictional pay-per-view supercard from the early 90s era and gave him one month of TV with which to advance the angles. See how JJ uses the weekly A and B shows, as well as a Saturday Night Network Special to build up to the pay-per-view at month’s end. He then books the results of that big card. When should a run-in be employed? How to use promos and packages? How does one choose a TV arena? What does it mean politically if Wrestler A makes the save for Wrestler B on TV? JJ shows us how to use just the right amount of exposure fangles for a most effective build-up. The booker’s job doesn’t end there, as we hear about the very delicate practice of employing diplomacy in dealing with the “big egos/TV time” equation.

It’s the early 90s 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 the hardcore style across the U.S.? Who would he hire to book it? Well, there was a booker 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 Puerto Rico alone gives him the credentials to spearhead our little experiment. If anyone can make The Godwins hardcore, it’s Luke!

It’s January of 1984 and the entire WWE has hinged its future on one man. And now he has changed his mind. Hogan has called and he’s not coming. What now? Join Kevin Sullivan in this remarkable DVD as he sits down in our mock booking office and proceeds to rewrite the year 1984 in the WWE. The task we’ve given him…make 1984 the breakout year it was for the WWE, but without Hogan. Watch as Sullivan books scenario after scenario in the wrestling organization that he has never actually booked for! Kevin Sullivan is a former booker/wrestler and he now brings his experience and vast knowledge to our booking session in the first edition of Guest Booker! Hop in our time machine and watch as Sullivan books twelve months of pro wrestling before your eyes. A must see for the smart fan!

After giving life to the Disco Inferno character, Glenn Gilbertti became a part of the creative teams in first WCW, then TNA, under Vince Russo’s direction. Legend has been made over some of the suggestions Gilbertti came up with. But as with legend, one must do some prying to separate fact from fiction. Just how much of what is attributed to Gilbertti is true? In the spirit of Guest Booker, we bring to fruition some of these booking ideas of lore…The Invisible Man, Bill Ding the evil architect, and the Martian Invasion. If you’re reading this all for the first time, your eyes are fine. Go inside those real life booking meetings and hear about Gilbertti and Russo heartily enjoying advancing these proposed angles, to the disgust and great annoyance of Terry Taylor and others. It’s all consistent with Disco’s booking philosophy of trying things that have never been done, no matter how ridiculous it may seem!

The WWE has historically integrated competing wrestling organizations into its global machine. It’s not a longshot to assume that TNA Impact will eventually fall under the WWE umbrella. And in the spirit of the Guest Booker series, we ask “what if?”, as we have Kevin Sullivan and Gabe Sapolsky take the hypothetical spot in booking the newly acquired TNA, for Vince and the WWE. Sullivan brings to the table a pedigree of booking knowledge that extends back to his mentors Vince J. McMahon and Eddie Graham. Gabe Sapolsky learned under Paul Heyman, who was a student of Kevin’s. Now, they must sit down together and use the tools of their generation to make a TNA Impact takeover work well for wrestling’s biggest federation. Can two different schools of thought retain mutual respect and produce a product that is consistent and interesting?

After a remarkable run of 454 days as a heel champion, The Honky Tonk Man would help usher in a new era of champion in WWE history by losing to The Ultimate Warrior. The match was 27-seconds. But Lord, the road to that decision was no-where near as short. Political wrangling's with McMahon and Savage would cause this swift end to a historic reign. THE OPPONENT: It may have been The Ultimate Warrior in the ring that night at the inaugural Summerslam but Honky’s real opponents were, in actuality, all outside of the ring. THE ANGLE: Was it Savage? Jake Roberts? Beefcake? Warrior? Just what was the driving angle that led up to Summerslam? We will iron it all out here. THE SHOT: Head back to NYC for the first Summerslam and the fascinating and heartbreaking journey that got HTM there!

His time in the spotlight may have been brief, but his endless opinions and rantings have made up for that lost time!

Kayfabe Commentaries "Breaking Kayfabe" series pulls no punches as we sit down with the man who made New Jack a moniker synonymous with danger, trouble, and controversy. But as this series promises to do, we climb inside Jerome Young and attempt to get to the bottom of what drove the character we came to know. Jerome's young years were filled with violence and as challenged a home life you can imagine, which carried over to adulthood. But the years in prison couldn't erase the memory of a school teacher he'd never forget. Yup, we even go there. No stone is left unturned. The shoot interview has matured. Breaking Kayfabe takes you inside Jerome Young for a journey unlike anything New Jack could EVER provide.

If ever a reputation preceded someone into the Breaking Kayfabe seat, it might be this one. Teddy Annis “Hart,” nephew of Bret and the Hart brothers, makes headlines. Sometimes Teddy does it with high-risk wrestling moves. Sometimes Teddy does it with criminal charges. Either way, Teddy knows how to get people talking. And man, can Teddy talk himself. But how many times has Teddy been forced to drop the machine gun, rapid fire banter and speak from the soul? This is what we sought to achieve on this edition of the show. Teddy’s path is seemingly filled with dark roads and dead ends. How much of this had Teddy brought on himself? He can blame ex-wives, girlfriends, and Bret, but Teddy’s greatest enemy may be the person staring him in the mirror. Then again, that may just be one of Teddy’s faces. It’s part therapy, part interview, all shoot. It’s another Breaking Kayfabe.

This new, hard-hitting series sits Kayfabe Commentaries’ Sean Oliver across from the stars of the wrestling business as they strip away all layers of their character. What’s left is the people themselves, in this edition it is Sean Waltman who bares his soul for all of you. Waltman’s descent into drug addiction, pornography, childhood abuse, and a suicide attempt sets up an exploration of all that has been destroyed, and what can be salvaged. Waltman may be a tragic figure, but as Oliver attempts to achieve in the show, perhaps a tragic figure that can avert a wrestling legacy from being tarnished for good.

Scott Levy, or Raven as he’s known by fans, is credited with having a great “wrestling mind.” Just so happens that mind garnered an IQ of 143 and landed Levy in Mensa. But as with great gifts, often comes great stories of struggle and pain. Let Sean lead the way into that mind and the life of Levy. A life that left a young Levy starved for attention by a cold, affectionless father who also lived a life in the public eye as the managing editor of the National Enquirer. Learn from the inside how the world’s most infamous paper operated in its heyday, and the toll it took on family. So get ready to spend more than 90 minutes with a guy who happens to have as many personality disorder diagnoses as he does brilliance. Part therapy, part interview…all shoot. It’s the series that reminds us “they’re people.”

Another entry in the series that chronicles the rise and implosion of ECW, is here. This time we head back to 1995 with the guy who was wearing the ECW title that year... The Sandman.

Butch Reed had always heard the popular myth in wrestling that two black wrestlers could never draw against each other in the South. In 1984, both Reed and The Junkyard Dog were ready to blow that theory out of the water in Bill Watts’s Mid-South territory. The blow off of that angle was the legendary Ghetto Street Fight. THE BUILD UP - Butch turns heel and not only double-crosses JYD, but sets the South on fire by painting JYD and then tarring and feathering him. THE ANGLE - Butch and Dog worked each other from 1983 into 1984, drawing in help from talent like Buddy Landel and Ted DiBiase up until June of 1984 at the New Orleans Superdome. THE SHOT - Over 20,000 people come to see the blow-off for the North American Title between the two strongest draws in Mid South!

Before huge weekend events and Hall of Fame shows, Wrestlemania was just a big card at MSG with some starpower behind it. Vince was risking it all on this show and this edition of Supercard stars one of the main event participants from that night in 1985, Cowboy Bob Orton, Jr. Join us as we explore the first Wrestlemania! THE BUILD UP - MTV was getting into the game as the WWE’s “Rock ‘n Wrestling Connection” put young eyeballs on the federation and made it cool. MTV would be crucial to the build up of WM. THE ANGLE - Piper, Hogan, Cyndi Lauper, Lou Albano, and Mr. T get things rolling and set the stage for a series of angle advancing shows throughout 1984 & 85. THE SHOT - A cab ride from 48th and 8th, 13 minutes work, and Orton, Hogan, Piper and Orndorff go down in history!

Just what on earth was a Royal Rumble? Well prior to early 1988 no one had an answer for that, but they soon would as the WWE was about to launch a new and long-lasting twist on the battle royal. Our guest for this edition of the show can claim the distinction of being the winner of the first Royal Rumble match, and he was an unlikely choice. THE CONCEPT - Who knew this would become one of the WWE’s tentpole PPV’s for years and years to come. Hacksaw was just lucky to be in the thing, after his recent firing! THE SCANDAL - Less than a year prior, Duggan and the Iron Sheik would be caught in scandal as they exposed the business and endangered Vince McMahon’s family friendly product. THE SHOT - Head back to 1988 for this inaugural event which was not yet a pay-per-view…but would soon become one of their big 4!
