10 Wrestling Interviews That Went Very Wrong

8. Terri Runnels Ups Her Fee

No clip for this one (v sorry) but please allow me to just recount the tale for you and you can try and picture it in your head.

Terri Runnels has very kindly agreed to do an interview for Highspots. Terri Runnels is an experienced performer when it comes to working with a camera. Terri Runnels knows precisely what difference good lighting can make to the finished look of a video. Terri Runnels, halfway through the interview, realises that the spotlight the crew have set up hasn't actually been turned on. Terri Runnels is not best pleased.

“Are you kidding me, this entire time I looked like crap!" she exclaims as her terrified host's eyes dart around the room for someone, anyone, to salvage the situation. Someone from production tries to step in and soothe the now irked swimsuit model whose demeanour has instantly shifted from 'polite teeth' to 'very aggressive cleavage'.

"Y... you... you looked fine" he counters, with all the confidence of a man who's primary experience of talking to women has been shouting "No Mom!!" down from his room for over 35 years. There's a pause, a tension, a palpable doubt in the minds and faces of all involved and a car crash waiting to happen until Runnels snaps back into character and sails on smiling. "I'll have to charge an extra $1000, haha!".
