Once in a while a shoot interview comes along that is so special… so newsworthy… so incredible that it becomes the talk of the entire wrestling industry. RF VIDEO has been able to participate in several of these interviews including our groundbreaking shoots with Honky Tonk Man, Jim Cornette, Raven, and New Jack among others. Who could possibly forget Sabu finally breaking his silence in 2005? Now we are prepared to unveil a shoot that tops all the others. A shoot that will leave your jaw hanging on the floor while you slap your head in disbelief. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, RF VIDEO proudly presents…
 
THE IRON SHEIK 2007 Interview.
 
The definition for the word "insanity" isn't enough to describe what you will witness in this exclusive shoot interview that no one will ever be able to forget. Last year Sheik did a shoot interview, now he sits down with the masters of the shoot interview, RF VIDEO.  The Legendary WWE Hall of Famer the Iron Sheik shoots on everyone and everything imaginable in this two hour shoot interview. No one escapes the wrath of Sheiky. B Brian Blair, Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Bill Watts, Dusty Rhodes, Jake "the Snake" Roberts, Chris Jericho, Jimmy Snuka, Bill Watts, Junkyard Dog, Dan Mirade (Dan Malone), and the Fabulous Moolah are just a sampling of the people who get a tongue lashing like you've never heard before. Hell, the RF VIDEO camera crew had two beer bottles thrown at them because Sheik became so livid during his rants! Trust us, you have NEVER seen anything like this before in the history of shoot interviews.
 
Sheik has had a wonderful career, and because of his unpredictable nature – well the public was beating down RF Video’s door to get him to do a shoot interview and have Sheik shoot on everyone.  We were not disappointed, and neither will you.
