TEDDY HART
-- Teddy is sad about his grandfather's passing and misses him everyday. He feels only Stu and Vince McMahon can claim to have been as impactful in any sport as they were to wrestling. He feels it is up to himself and Bret to promote the best wrestling on Earth.
-- Teddy thanks Rob Feinstein for giving him the opportunity in Ring of Honor. He says that there were several wrestlers backstage that had prior heat with Teddy at the Ring of Honor show. He wouldn't say their name but he feels he is above "shit talking."
-- Teddy feels the cage match had absolutely no psychology but the incident that took place was after the match. During the match, Joel Maximo dropped Teddy on his head causing him a concussion. Teddy says he has no recollection of the moves after the match, but says he did a moonsault off the top of the cage to the concrete floor and landed on the "130 pound Mexican." He then went back up and did a shooting star press off the top of the cage into the ring, a move never done before in the history of wrestling, and the crowd went crazy chanting his name. He says what bothers him about the incident is the move was never put over on the Internet. Instead, the "boys" went on the Internet and reported that Teddy did something not planned and made a bigger deal of it than it was. He feels the same fans that went nuts for it when it happened now hate it because they are "smarks" and the boys had to tell them it wasn't planned and that it was bad and not that Teddy gave a little extra show at the end of the match.
-- The three other teams in that match all have asked Teddy if he is okay and all believe that he had a concussion. He feels if you don't believe the apology, "Screw you too then."
-- Backstage, Steve Corino's girl was there. "I don't know what her name was. She looked like a street hooker to me. I'm being nice calling her a street hooker. She looked HORRIBLE!" Teddy says she made a remark about one of his friends being a "piece of shit or fag or something really nasty" and then Samoa Joe got into it and told his friend to "get the hell to the back." Teddy's friend, who he doesn't name, stood up to Samoa Joe and Teddy ran over to break up the fight. Teddy says that Samoa told him that since he put his hands on Samoa Joe, he was going to kill Teddy. Samoa also called himself the King of the Locker Room.
-- Another roomer on the net was that Teddy disrespected Jim Cornette Teddy shoots it down instantly saying Jim Cornette is one of his favorites and that whenever Jim talks, he listens.
-- He feels it must be one of the boys who leaked a lot of the information and posted it him or herself because none of the fans were backstage to have seen it. He feels the people doing it are doing so because they have no business in wrestling in the first place because they aren't any good at it.
-- Ted doesn't care if Samoa Joe hears what he said because he is fearless and isn't afraid of anybody. If Samoa Joe kills him, he kills him. "So be it."
-- There were rumors going around that Teddy decked a fan at a recent show. It isn't true. There was a guy going to a training school in the crowd and he wanted to be a part of the show so he approached Teddy and the fans dad grabbed his son and maybe it looked like Teddy shoved him but it wasn't the case. The fan wanted Teddy to strike him but Teddy wouldn't play along.
-- Teddy performs for the fans. He does everything for the fans benefit and to maybe make kids have wrestling on the menu in their future. He feels he is what a wrestler should be. If it were a competitive sport like Hockey, none of the guys that complained would have made the cut.
-- He mentions that most fans don't know what psychology is. So, if all people want to do is trash talk him, he doesn't care because it all is publicity for him.
-- "Steve Corino is a jabrone. I saw him in the dojo in the WWF. He stunk then, he's worse now." He also says that Corino did nothing backstage himself and had Samoa Joe do all his dirty work for him.
-- CM Punk said nothing to Teddy. Teddy says he was too busy "trying to score pot backstage." Because of that, he finds it hysterical that "Puke" tried to say Teddy was doing the things that "Puke" was doing to "cover his tracks." He adds, "Why is he in the business anyway? Because he's a rip off of Raven?"
-- The four page essay that "Puke" released on Teddy Hart was ridiculous and he feels he should have better things to do. Teddy hasn't been inspired to write something that long about anybody that influenced his life, be it Stu Hart, Elvis Presley, Tupac (ugh), Bret, or anybody. So, thinking that "Puke" cared enough to write something that long "making sure to spell check every line" was flattering.
-- Teddy says that everyone knows the wrestling business has been good to his family and as a result his family enjoys reasonable wealth. he offers Steve Corino and "CM Puke" the opportunity to take advantage of that wealth and accept a first class plane ticket to Calgary for a real life shoot fight and invites Rob Feinstein to come along to film a "shoot interview" after the shoot fight with Corino and "Puke" after they've had their jaws broken.
-- The offer is only for those involved in the situation. He says to contact David Penzer and they will be glad to set it up for him. He adds that you'll enjoy first class service the entire time but may be sent home in a body bag.
-- Another incident he wanted to discuss was a confrontation between he and AJ Styles. Teddy is very fond of AJ Styles. He flew him up for the Stu Hart Birthday wrestling event where Teddy faced Sabu and wanted AJ to be involved in Mat Rats. The incident that is being talked about is that AJ confronted Teddy about doing certain moves since they do share some common moves so out of respect, AJ asked that Teddy not do a move. One of the moves that AJ asked Teddy not to do was a "Spinal Tap." Teddy ended up doing the move because he didn't know that is what AJ calls it and AJ has never spoken to him since.
-- He offers a similar challenge to AJ Styles for a wrestling match to entertain the fans, not a fight. He wants to work AJ because he thinks they could really excite the fans together but appreciates AJ for not going around and worrying about Teddy Hart and just letting their misunderstanding go.
-- Teddy says that Corino and CM Punk look like "pan handling bums" and need to hit the gym and quit hitting the McDonalds and start coming up with new moves instead of typing dirt sheets on the Internet.
-- Teddy encourages every fan to go to RFVideo.com and pick up the tape of the Elizabeth, New Jersey show so they can see the incident for themselves and judge what is being called the most controversial independent wrestling incident in the past 3 years.
We then go into our recap for the Teddy interview which lasts about 20 minutes. During this, James challenges the fans of MLW to tell the company how "ass backwards" it is to eliminate the former ECW stars from their roster using Francine and Jerry Lynn as examples. He encourages the fans to email MLW.com and post on their forums to make sure Jerry, Francine, and all other talent that have been cut since MLW's near death experience are brought back.
We then join a second recap segment being joined by Gabe from Ring of Honor to give us his take on the Teddy Hart incident and the state of ROH.
Gabe Sapolsky (Ring of Honor Booker):
-- Gabe joins The Interactive Interview for a good 15 minute segment to discuss what happened with Teddy. Gabe feels that Teddy put himself over the company in what he did and took the "ROH" chants that were going on before he did those spots and turned them into "Teddy" chants which did not help the company at all.
-- The locker room will not allow Teddy back so there is no chance of Teddy having any immediate future with Ring of Honor.
-- Gabe only watches WWE TV when Paul Heyman is on. Otherwise, he just sleeps through it because it doesn't interest him at all.
-- Gabe met Rob Feinstein in college and, believe it or not, bought a tape from him then.
-- One of Gabe's fondest memory of Ring of Honor thus far is the first show with Low Ki and Christopher Daniels.
-- Working with ECW was fun until the end. The final show was hard to be at because everyone knew it was the last show even though Tommy Dreamer tried to rally the troops, as always.
-- There is a chance Roddy will not only appear for Ring of Honor at Wrestlemania weekend, but also wrestle for them.
Plus so much more with Gabe!
