Shoot Interview with Devon Nicholson and special guest Superstar Billy Graham
RF VIDEO made history with our first ever iPPV shoot interview with Devon Nicholson on March 10th and not only was the interview incredible but our production for this DVD will be unlike anything you have ever seen before offered by RF VIDEO.
Devon Nicholson has an incredible story to tell. He was hired by the WWE after paying his dues in Calgary and Puerto Rico to be a top guy in the company. He had an incredible amateur background in wrestling and could have went on to the Olympics. Before Devon signed his deal with the WWE he worked a series of bloody matches in where it was alleged that he contracted Hep C from wrestling with Abdullah the Butcher. After his tests came back he was let go by the WWE and since that time there has been many legal issues surrounding the case.
For the first time ever Devon sits down with RF VIDEO to discuss everything. In my opinion he is the total package, he can work and is the master at cutting promos. So what went wrong?
The interview was not all about his personal struggle with Hep C but he had TONS and TONS of stories on other wrestling topics, like why he does not like Kevin Steen, his problems with Chris Jericho, Dustin Rhodes, Abdullah the Butcher and so much more.
You will hear all about Devons time in Calgary working with the Harts, crazy Teddy Hart stories, what it was like to meet Vince at the funeral for Stu Hart, how he ended up in Puerto Rico and what Abby told him about the Brody murder..what it was like to work with an alleged murder in Puerto Rico. Devon goes into great detail of how he got infected and all the ramifications that are going on behind the scenes on the legal front. Everything you want to know about his problems with Abby are discusses.
What happened with Devon got signed to the WWE and why was he let go? How did he take it? Who did he get into a fight with at a WWE camp and why Pat Patterson took a liking to him. There is tons of WWE stories during this interview that are all super kfabe until now.
Superstar Billy Graham also called in for 40 minutes and gave his thoughts on why he wants to be removed from the WWE HOF and if the WWE has ever contacted him about it. Billy also gives his thoughts and opinion on Bruno Sammartino going into the WWE HOF, and why he thinks Bruno is getting a lot more than just a 5k payday. What does Billy think of Bruno going into it in the first place..wait until you hear his comments. Billy also addresses the comments Chris Jericho made about him when he was on his death bed and also his brief war of words with CM Punk over social media but Billy tells why he respects CM Punk. This portion of the interview is worth the DVD alone.
We also show tons of bonus footage including a BLOODY bloodbath match between Abby and Devon…Shoot style interviews with Scott Steiner on DDP in a car ride….and tons of other bonus footage!!!!
