    Here is a Off The Record recap of Edge. It's not every thing but it includes most of it and the important stuff.

    This was a great interview. Maybe the best I've seen on OTR. I've seen everyone so I have a fair opinion.

    Adam Copeland was so honest. He had neck surgery 2.5 months ago. He's out atleast a year. says he may not be doing ladder matches anymore because he thinks he's past that stage in his career as a wrestler and doesn't need those big bumps to get over anymore.

    He will still take bumps and will work through inhuries cause it's in wrestlers "DNA" to stand up and finish the match if they are hurt. (Note from me:Nash didn't after he tore his quad and HHH did. Maybe that's saying something there) (mentioned Maven breaking his leg and finishing and Brock finishing at WM19 after the moonsault)

    Says he, Angle, Benoit and Eddie had such great chemistry together and fighting them were some of his best matches of his carrer over the last year..

    Landsberg the host asks wrestlers at the end of the show to give 1 word answers to wrestlers he names.

    Nash- shouldn't have the show around him(said this about Hogan too with him being older now )

    RVD - gumby

    Flair - Legend

    HBK - best in his time

    HHH - over Criticized and says the internet fans will probably give it to him (edge) for that remark (Note from me: It seems every wrestler stands up for HHH which to me sounds like a good locker room of profesionals)

    His 3 wrestlers he loved growing up were HBK, Bret Hart and Hogan.

    The following are highlights from Xtreme Mayhem's interview with Missy Hyatt! The interview was conducted by Mike Nagel and Jeff Meacham on May 28th, 2003. Visit http://xtreme.themayhem.com to listen to the streaming audio or downloadable version of the interview! Like the previous Bobby Heenan interview, this one is also 90+ minutes and a recap can't do it justice.

    Listen in Real Audio
    Listen in Windows Media Player

    - Missy talked about her new website MissyHyatt.com, and how she plans to have several videos as well as pictures and weekly updates from her. Missy might even release a video of her and a pro-wrestler in the shower that caused some recent controversy.

    - Missy began to talk about her book, and Jeff Meacham mentioned that he read the book at Borders. Both Missy and Mike Nagel proceeded to call Jeff cheap throughout the rest of the show since he didn't buy the book. Funny stuff. Missy found out that Hulk Hogan and Jerry Lawler bought her book, and she was very honored about that since she has looked up to both of them. Mike brought up that Jeff bought Hogan and Lawler's books. Jeff said when Mike pays him back, Jeff will buy Missy's book. Missy said that lots of people owe her money and warns everyone not to ever borrow money from Pat Tanaka.

    - WrestlingVixxxens.com is still going strong and they got another photo shoot coming up soon. She talks about her new dancing career and other features on the website. Missy talked about Tammy Sytch not being involved with the website and she said Tammy just simply lost interest in being on the website. Missy said she loves Tammy, but she said Tammy needs to put the fork down and take care of herself. She talked about copyright issues and people stealing content from the website, putting it on a CD Rom, and selling the content on E-Bay. Missy also talked about people forging autographs and such.

    - Missy talked about her time in WCW, saying how much she hated flying since she lived in Los Angeles at the time and had to go to Atlanta almost every week. Missy said that she doesn't have much from video footage of herself from WCW, and she is interested in getting some tapes from anybody who would be willing to send her something. Missy also said that she found her voice annoying when listening to it on tape.

    - Missy talked about some of the current WWE divas. She hasn't watched much wrestling lately, but she turned on Smackdown and saw Sable. Missy wants to know where they dug up Sable from, and Missy thought she was in a time warp. Missy wonders why they are hiring all these old stars, but they aren't giving her a call. She said that one of the problems with the brand extension is that the average person on the street doesn't see RAW and Smackdown as two seperate brands or companies.

    - Missy feels that Tammy was the originally WWE diva, and by that time Vince McMahon had finally figured out how to use women. She said that none of the current divas can talk or have the charisma that Tammy had. Missy said that Stephanie is the talker of the best WWE divas and Sable can't talk to save her life. Missy talked about how revolting it was when Sable got huge breasts impants that were the size of basketballs.

    - Missy said that she never gave herself the name of the first lady of wrestling, and Gary Michael Cappetta dubbed her by that name. Her and Elizabeth started around the same time, and Missy said that Sunshine was actually the first female who did the valet stuff.

    - She was surprised that WWF New York closed down, because she thought it had a great location and the food was good. She talked about how her and Tammy used to go there and get free food.

    - She talked about Wrestlemania X-7's gimmick battle royal and Michael Hayes, and brought up a story about Jimmy Garvin who became a pilot.

    - She said that Scott Steiner is built like a freak, and it has gotten to the point where it is disgusting and not very appealing. She feels that wrestling needs some more guys that are built like the Ultimate Warrior.

    - She talked about being on a first-class airplane on Ric Flair back in the NWA days. Flair went to the bathroom, took off all his clothes except his dress shoes and socks, put on the World Title belt and his robe, and strutted down the aisle, turned around, opened his robe, and went "WHOO!" She said that Flair needs to wear a bra when he wrestles.

    - She has been watching some NWA TNA shows and while she considers the wrestling to be great, she feels they are lacking the glitz and glamour that WWE has. With that said, she said she'd love to be part of TNA.
