Speaking of all time greats, I have no problem stating that this man is at the top of my list.

His Hart Foundation stuff from 1996 should be used a blue print of how to play a crowd for today's stars. Bret had them in the palm of the his hand no matter country he was wrestling in.

I met him a few times and he was very polite, respectful and surprisingly funny. Class act all the way.

Some of my thoughts from the 5/4/09 RAW:

I like the Chavito manipulating Vicki Guererro angle. I still can't stand Vicki, but I like this.

Why oh why was Shane made to look like such a badass by doing so well against Legacy? He more than held his own against 3 guys. C'mon!?! I can see keeping the heat on an established star, but Shane O'Mac is NOT a regular competitor. Bad booking. This is WWE, not the friggin' McMahon Happy Hour.

I am waiting for Batista's turn any day now...

MVP is really damned good. I'm sad I don't watch SD so I missed this guy for so long.

It was liek the 200th time since the Royal Rumble where Shane McMahon has beaten the crap out of the 3 Legacy members by himself. If you really look back, Randy Orton has never gotten the upper hand on Shane in a 1 on 1 situation.

Ernest 'The Cat' Miller anyone .....

what's your point? I have never heard anyone dispute that page wasn't a hard worker.He was a very good hand in the ring,very good on the mic and got over huge,there were not many in the business as over as ddp through 1997 and 1998

people always mention the Bischoff-ddp relationship but never mention the two men were very important in getting ddp over as a face to begin with....Hall and Nash.Ric flair should really let his bitterness to ddp go.Page never had anything but kind words for flair and flair who treated page like a worthless piece of shit to start off with

funny you should mention miller also.When he recieved his greatest push Bischoff was not even with the company

Very true, White Snake. And also very SAD. Why even have Legacy be a group if they get crushed every time we see them? They are totally screwing Orton out of any "legitimacy" as champ by having him get smacked around by Shane O'Mac. I kinda feel for Orton. Seems like every time he gets a chance, the E pulls the carpet out from under him.

Orton is young, has a great look and is a good worker and is pretty good on the mic. Let him have some time in the sun.

RF Video recently conducted a shoot interview with former WWE wrestler Hardcore Holly and he holds nothing back while discussing his 15-year tenure in the company.

Perhaps the most notable portion of the interview concerns Holly's explanation for being let from World Wrestling Entertainment back in January. He has some choice words for a certain wrestler in the company to say the least — that person being Raw Superstar Mr. Kennedy. Holly believes Kennedy is responsible for his ultimate release from the company and is angry with him to this day, so much so that he issues a personal threat to him during the interview

Courtesy of RFVideo.com, here is a synopsis of what you can expect to hear from Holly concerning his issue with Kennedy in the shoot interview:

"I got a call from Bob today when he was boarding his plane and he told me what he wanted to talk about on the shoot. He asked me point blank can he say what ever he wants and I told him that this is his day. This would be his platform to do what ever he wanted. He went off on a 5 minute promo on how he wants to beat the hell out of Ken Kennedy on the phone and told me about his major heat with him. This is not a work at all and on the interview, Bob goes into what happened to get these two once best friends into a bitter battle. You will hear right from the mouth of Bob, how Kennedy told Bob to go into his bag and get something out of it for himself. I do not want to get to graphic here because it makes the shoot. You have to watch this as soon as you can, as Bob sends a private message to Ken on this tape. I would not want to be in the shoes of Mr. Kennedy!!!"

Here is another synopsis on the subject, noting Holly making a threat "that is sure to get the WWE's attention":

"The highlight of this interview is Bob talking about his WWE release. How did someone once so close to the boss get released? Bob sends a clear message to a current WWE superstar and calls him out by name. What is this wrestler's culpability in Bob's firing? Bob will tell you a story that will shock even his biggest detractors. No names are protected and nobody is innocent as Bob makes a threat that is sure to get the WWE's attention. What happened between Bob and his former friend? You will hear about it all from the horse's mouth in this classic RF Video Shoot Interview."

Reportedly, Holly was caught stealing pain pills from another wrestler's bag this past summer, hence his sudden disappearance from television. He was immediately taken off the road, sent to a rehabilitation facility, and ultimately released

Mr Kennedy did what shouldve been done 10 years ago

Now if only someone could figure out how to do it to Kennedy we'd really be making some progress.

If there's a God he'll never be cleared, or as soon as he is cleared he'll suffer another steroid inflicted injury.
