I really want them to put him in the hall of fame, just because I want 40 minutes of unfiltered Warrior

I would also really love to read a write up of this, there is such a strange uncomfortable feeling throughout.

That was a lot deeper than expected, but it is interesting hearing about the behind the scenes for the person and character.

@servo: I was kind of invested in this interview and he seemed weirdly somber for like 60% up until this part and now I can't stop laughing: "I want you to put this in your writeup."

Well this can only end well.

EDIT: That was actually much more reasonable than I was expecting. I think Alex got a little more personal than Warrior had anticipated with the questions, so the therapy thing was meant to break the tension a little?

That said, if anyone ever interviews me I'm totally working in the "I eat good food" line.

When he said that all I could think about was Jeff using HHH's hair as a barometer for graphics quality.

I really enjoy people who are earnest about these kinds of things. And we can all learn from the sentiment at the end of the interview. Enjoy the game!

Holy shit, that was amazing Alex. As another kid who loved the Warrior, it was great to hear him talk to you about some inside stuff, and really get contemplative. That said, I thought we was gonna go off on you at the beginning there. With just audio, every silent part made me think "oh man, this is where The Warrior goes to jail for punching Alex, and Alex goes to hospital."

That had to have been tough to get through. Great interview!

He didn't get the joke, Alex. I'm guessing he doesn't even listen to the Bombcast!

I enjoyed the interview. Happy to see the guy isn't afraid to go off-message and talk about life in general.

I miss when wrestlers were all batshit crazy and impossible to interview in real life. That was when wrestling was fun and entertaining.

*edit* this was a great interview honestly
