The New Age Outlaws...Wrestling Gods?

"Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, children of all ages, Degeneration X proudly brings to you, the TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS OF THE WOOOORRRLLLLLLLDDDDDD! The Road Dogg Jesse James! The Bad Ass Billy Gun! The NEW AGE OUTLAWS!"

Anybody who grew up watching wrestling during the attitude era, remembers that and could say it in their sleep.

The New Age Outlaws were probably at that time, one of, if not the best tag teams in the WWE (WWF at the time).

I recently watched an RF Video, with both of The Outlaws, real names B.G. James (Road Dogg) and Monty 'Kip' Sopp (Billy Gun)

For those who don't know RF Video started by a guy named Rob Feinstein, and his friends Doug Gentry, and Gabe Sapolsky.

They would tour with ECW, selling hand recorded "fan cam" videos of wrestling events from smaller companies.

This however was a real question and answer shoot, this was not a scripted interview, like you would see on WWE or TNA.

Now, this video was shot a few years back, because they were still talking about Christian being in TNA and JBL was still wrestling.

Now it was obvious that both guys were completely stoned out of the mind during the interview, James even admitted it.

They had a lot of good points, but also half the stuff they said was complete trash, and I was actually shocked that they never got sued for some of the things they said.

They were asked about matches with The Blackjacks and The Road Warriors, which James admitted to being legitimately scared of Bradshaw.

He also said that with The Road Warriors, during a match Hawk punched him in the face purposely during a tie up, and James got out of the ring, walked up the ramp, and went back into the dressing rooms.

Jack Lanza is telling him he "no he needs to get back out there" while James is saying, he just punched him in the face for no reason.

They also had a lot of bad things to say about Bret Hart, because Bret said they were nothing but mid carders.

They said that Bret made himself the man, that they heard rumors that he had it in his contract that he had to be WWF Champion a certain amount of times a year.

They also claimed that Bret wasn’t that big of a star, and that the whole Montreal Screwjob was a work. That Bret should of dropped the title that night instead of wanting to go to Raw the next night and drop it.

I mean come on, all the money that Bret made Vince, all the love that Bret got from the fans, his wrestling ability, everything that Bret did for the WWE, and he couldn’t retain the title in his home country, then just drop it the next night back in the states?

They are just jealous, because Bret Hart is a hall of famer and those two guys cant even keep their jobs. They got released from both WWE and TNA.

Both also claimed to have been responsible to putting over Stone Cold Steve Austin, and The Rock.

Arguing that who went out there and took all the Stunners? And who went out there and took all the Rock Bottoms? Saying it was DX, that it was them two.

Anybody could of gone out there and taken those finishers, hell you could of sent Zach Gowen out there, and he had only one leg.

But does that make him responsible for putting over two of the biggest superstars in the history of the WWE? The answer is NO!

The two also had some very disparaging remarks to say about Vince McMahon and HHH saying that Vince was a "queer" and some of the stuff Kip said about HHH I can't even write down, or they wouldn't publish my article.

One thing he did say though, that I can write down, is that on the way down when HHH isn’t married to the bosses daughter, or he gets in trouble and Kip sees him passing through the airport, that he would “knock his f’n head off”

Too bad that’s not ever going to happen, and if it did, old Kip would be taking a trip to the hospital courtesy of The Game!

They also took credit for making DX what it was, saying that Hunter and Shawn came to them, and asked the outlaws to make them look cool.

James also said that he had quit TNA on a couple different occasions. Because they wanted him to lose to the guy that lost to Maven, in the very first Tough Enough.

I think it was Christopher Nowinski, and they also wanted him to lose to RVD & Sabu in a tag match.

He argued why are you going to have two guys that aren't even in this company, that are here just for one night and aren't coming back, beat your own character a guy that works for you?

He does all that, and wants to get on Bret Hart for not wanting to drop the strap in Montreal?

Give me a freaking break!

James also was asked how it was being one of the first people to work with Chris Jericho, when he came over from WCW?

He said that Jericho's timing was off, and that Jericho was ANOTHER person that he had to put over.

They basically put down every wrestler that wasn’t a drug addict except for a few people like Funk, Foley, Bradshaw and Bob Holly.

They had nothing but great things to say about Sean Waltman though, who is a complete wreck now, and was probably even worse back a few years ago when the interview was taken.

But Jim Ross they said, that they "hated his guts" James said that Ross was "a lying son of a bitch" and "lied right to his face several times."

So basically, these guys acted and talked like they were and I quote JBL, "wrestling gods."

And when asked if James would ever go back to WWE, he said "I will say welcome to Wal-Mart, enjoy your shopping experience, way before I would go back to WWF."

Overall though its a very very interesting and intriguing interview, it had it's funny moments, they had their good points at very few times, but most of what they had to say is complete bull.
