Speaking of weird shoot interviews , Greg "The Hammer" Valentine did one years ago and discussed his quitting WCW back in the early 1990's.
- Valentine brings up that WCW had a lot of young folks he liked working with then. That they had Marcus Bagwell who was a nice young kid learning as well as Brian Pillman before the injury screwed him up (his ankle which was fused) . They also had Big Josh then too and those guys were good to work with.
- Bill Watts came in and told him all kinds of BS stuff and he was like ok. So at a Saturday Night's main event deal when they did that , he was told he was gonna lose to Sting at the end. That he was gonna put Sting over. Which he decided to walk out on.
- Valentine then discusses how , well what do I get in exchange to keep my heel heat ? Do I get to beat up Sting post match or do I get to beat up a Sting friend ? Or do I get a contract for $100,000+ a year ? I mean if I'm doing a favor for someone , do me a favor in exchange. Watts and company would just say , well we want you to put him over and nothing in exchange.
Now I like Valentine in the WWF in the 1980's and he was a classic heel , but by the end of his run in WWF he wasn't no where near a main event caliber guy. He also was in a jobber tag team by this end period. Yet he's mad because they asked him to put over Sting after this in WCW.
