10 Most Revealing Wrestling Shoot Interviews

10. The Honky Tonky Man Is Revolting To Everyone

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDp0O_FwA9g#t=100 It€™s a fairly open secret that one of the worst things about actually knowing Roy Wayne Farris, aka the WWF/WWE€™s longest reigning Intercontinental champion the Honky Tonk Man, is that he€™s one of the most obnoxious people ever to set foot in a wrestling ring. Hulk Hogan, €˜Rowdy€™ Roddy Piper, Bret €˜The Hitman€™ Hart, €˜The Nature Boy€™ Ric Flair, Kevin Nash, €˜Million Dollar Man€™ Ted DiBiase, Jake €˜The Snake€™ Roberts, and most famously Eric Bischoff €“ the Honky Tonk Man has feuded with them in real life far more often than he ever did in the ring, and he€™s never exactly shy when it comes to tearing people a new one from the safety of a couch backstage or in a hotel room somewhere. In the above compilation, Farris shoots on his dislike of Chief Jay Strongbow, €˜The American Dream€™ Dusty Rhodes, Shawn Michaels and his cousin Jerry €˜The King€™ Lawler without fear or favour, and with his inimitably charismatic, profanity-laden Southern charm. He also calls out the WWE Hall Of Fame for being a cynical work, controversially suggesting that it€™s hypocritical not to induct Chris Benoit€ but of course, this being the Honky Tonk Man, he doesn€™t put it quite like that€
