 - Scott Keith

- This would be from late 99, early 2000 I believe.

- He got started when he saw Tully Blanchard’s Southwest Championship Wrestling at 12 years old and decided then and there to become a wrestler. He hooked up with a local promoter at 18, who told him to go to school first. Shawn did as a matter of politeness, but flunked out soon after and went back to wrestling. Jose Lothario trained him for two months and then basically threw him to the proverbial lions in Mid-South.

- On Bill Watts: He was incredibly strict. He didn’t know that you have to show up for TV even if you’re not scheduled (gasp!) and so skipped a show and got fine $50. He didn’t miss another show. He doesn’t bring up Watts again, but when Watts was hired by the WWF in 1995, Shawn ended up getting him fired in retaliation for that fine all those years before. I’m kinda surprised Rob didn’t bring that question up on one level, but on another level I’m not.

- Onto Kansas City, and Bob Geigel, and back to Texas to form the American Force with Paul Diamond. Stayed 8 months, and then went to the AWA.

- Verne Gagne just didn’t understand where wrestling was heading. Can’t argue there. Cute story about how Shawn & Marty wanted to be the Midnight Rockers, but Verne was worried that people might think they were chairs.

- Onto the WWF and their big two-week stay. They had a bad rep as “party boys” from their AWA days and most thought it was best that they didn’t mix with the boys, so as not to be a bad influence, but the agents wanted to do a meet and greet session. So they went down to the hotel lobby and found Jimmy Jack Funk starting some shit, which later got blown into a full bar fight with each new telling of the story. Shawn and Marty met Vince a few days later to sort things out. Shawn was wearing snakeskin boots, and Vince commented that “They’re made for walking, you know”, and the next day they were back doing the indies again.

- They finally made it back to the WWF in 88, working with the Harts. More...
