I don't watch wrestling, but I have to say that I'm super impressed by how approachable and down to earth these people seem to be. Good job on the interviews.

I looooooooooove Stardust. He's a secret benevolent Moblin who has a history with Starman.

Also Steve Austin is genuinely an fantastic interview. He's so personable. I would love to talk to him for a while.

Man, everyone in this is awesome actually. I keep watching and it keeps getting better.

Dan needs a wrestling moniker.

I always assumed "Dirty" Dan Ryckert was that very thing.

Also, this was fantastic. In typical Giant Bomb fashion the questions seemed like they were different than what the wrestlers were probably being asked all day long.

@keris: Yeah, I realized right after and retracted my comment =(. He does know his moons, I don't apparently, it just sounded too small when I heard the number!

Eh, it's still true that one could fit about 64 million Moons inside of the Sun. It's just not the metric of comparison that Stardust was using.

Wow, Cody was ...crazy, and great and Steve was expectedly cool. But the real story is that this might be my favorite wrestling interview-compilation video ever... seriously. Great job guys, especially Dan, really good stuff, hats off to you.

So how long did Dan and StarDust riff in that bowling alley? Seemed like they could have gone all night.

Dan mentioned talking to Stardust "out of character" once the cameras stopped rolling, if only to thank him for being so entertaining.

Though I like Stone Cold giving up on Dan enjoying the finer things in life and instead getting cheap vodka and shitty beer.

@noizy: Yeah... I come from the same place and you get the impression that humor is probably a pretty important aspect of wrestling, so these guys probably ultimately want to entertain, laugh, and generally have fun... I definitely can't fault it.

I had no idea Sheamus was actually Irish. I figured him for a fake American Irish dude, in spite of how ghostly pale he is.

I have zero knowledge of, or interest in wrestling but I found this highly entertaining. Dan is a very good interviewer. That guy with the gold face paint was funny.

Yeah, Dan has been a great interviewer since he started at Game Informer. Watch this legendary interview as evidence:

That was just incredible, thank you for sharing that.

I don't watch wrestling anymore (haven't since the 80s), and I don't know what Stardust is on, but he's a funny dude.

They all seemed pretty cool in general in their perspective interviews.

Good Job Dan, but I think Alex is going to retain the title at PAX.

Steve Austin is a ridiculously cool and down to earth guy and Stardust was just about the funniest thing I've seen all year.

I haven't watched wrestling (regularly) since The Undertaker became a biker (I hear he's back now), but I've recently watched some of Cody Rhodes' matches as Cody Rhodes, and then some of his matches as Stardust. Not only is he way more interesting in promos now, but he has some of the most exciting/interesting in-ring moves I've ever seen a wrestler do. Ever.

To the point where I might start watching again to see what he does.

Edit: As a side note, Dan is pretty great at asking totally irrelevant to the content, but results in great answers from the wrestlers.

I wish we could see the full uncut interview with just Stardust. I hope Cody sticks with this persona throughout his career.
