Video Countdown: Top Ten Best Interviews That Didn’t Air On Television

It’s still happening somewhere. WWE is known for its character based approached to wrestling storytelling and that usually involves a lot of talking segments. These interviews are often range from interesting to a little tiresome, but one thing that is often the case is how much time they can take up. While some can be short and to the point, others take up a lot of television time, which can get a little annoying if you’re watching a show for the action. However, the internet is a great place to put a promo if you want to give the people a little more time. These shows aren’t forgotten, and WWE is taking a look back at them.

A new article on WWE.com takes a look at the Ten Best Interviews That Didn’t Air On TV. Most of these are backstage interviews that are either for the company’s YouTube channel, on WWE.com, or on the WWE Network. These are all from the last few years and all come in the WWE Network era. It should be noted that Talking Smack is considered a television show, which is why there is nothing from the Miz’s many praised rants.

Here are the ten videos, in order. While the shows listed are when the interviews took place, they did not air on the broadcast.

Opinion: Just because it’s not on television doesn’t mean it isn’t worth checking out. Some of these are much better as the people are allowed to think these things through and not go out there and say whatever comes to their mind in such a hurry. The top spot is great and there’s little shock that one of the best talkers of all time was able to top the list. It’s a shame that these are only from the last four years or so, as some of these from old times would be outstanding.
