James Guttman also speaks about the next uncut shoot interview on ClubWWI.com. Scheduled to go online sometime today, it may even be up by the time you read this. Check WorldWrestlingInsanity.com throughout the day for the announcement.

 

James mentions that the final work is being done for his second book, "World Wrestling Insanity Presents: Shoot First…Ask Questions Later." It's available for preorder on Amazon.com and features all the stories behind the shoots you've heard him conduct through the years. From backstage stories to things he's learned about the world of wrestling, J.G. lays it all on the line. This book will feature many surprises and no matter your opinion of the first book, this is one title that you will definitely want to add to your collection. More details will be given in the next few months.


With that, James cues up the clip from Brian's massive ClubWWI shoot and plays his response to one of the most talked about stories from the Nasty Career – Ken Shamrock.

There were many rumors that The Nasty Boys had gotten into a legit brawl with Ken Shamrock one night.  With their reputations, it's a tale that has followed them around.  Rarely have we heard a response…until now.

"No, actually, he got mad at us, you know?  It was all over something that happened at the bar.  I was drunker than hell so by the time everything happened and I was at the hotel room, as I was already passed out in my bed so I really don't know what went on.  All I know is Ken really got his ass kicked by Saggs.  And I woke up the next day and knew we were in a different room so I knew something had happened.  So I went, 'Saggs…did something happen last night?'  And he was still up and started screaming at me. (irate voice)  'You dumb…You got Shamrock all wound up…he came up here banging on the door!  You were passed out drunk!...'  So that's what happened there.  I was sleeping through the whole thing. "

James says that the magic of the Internet is that there are so many stories that may or may not be true.  He asks Brian if he's ever heard a story that's so outlandish about himself that he can't believe it.   Knobbs says he hears it a lot.   He says that there's no ill will years later, but apparently Ken wrote in his book that both the Nasties had jumped him.  Brian's thoughts?

"That would be a good thing to write in your book, but I was sleeping!  I don't remember anything and everyone who was there can testify to that."

Knobbs then names the other wrestlers who were there and what they did to help him in his drunken stupor.  Brian speaks on about the subject of the Nasty Reputation he and Saggs have created.
