Last night I FINALLY RECEIVED (I ordered it over 2 weeks ago) "On the Road With...Honky Tonk Man" from RF Video. It is a two-disc set. Anyone who knows anything about the wrestling business knows that Honky is one of the most outspoken guys in the business. Believe me, he holds NOTHING back in this truly amazing DVD set.
OTR follows Honky through his average day, leading up to an indy show in Wildwood, NJ. I believe that this was filmed either the week before or somewhere around SummerSlam '05. The DVD starts out with the RF crew picking Honky up at the airport and rides with him in the SUV for the hour or so drive to the show. You'll be able to hear Honky's opinions (and boy does he have opinions!) about the current story lines, superstars, hall of fame, legends contracts, and much more.
When they get to the show, the camera follows Honky to the locker room where you actually get to see him going over a match with his opponent for that afternoon (Honky did two, back-to-back shows on the beach that day). While in the locker room, Honky shares some more stories, including one about the first time Hacksaw Jim Duggan was on an independent show and Honky showed him "how we do it on the independents."
The cameras then follow Honky into the ring for his first match of the day. After the match, Honky makes his trip to the Wildwood Boardwalk to mingle with the fans. They follow Honky back into the locker room where he is going over his next match with his new opponent. Honky shares a few more stories and then heads to the ring. During this match, something happens that Honky doesn't care too much for and he lets the indy worker know about it too!
The camera then follows Honky back to the locker room for a few more stories and that is where it wraps up.
Video and sound quality are GREAT! I truly hope that RF video decides to do more of the "On the Road With..." series. I see by their website that they have a new one with Jake Roberts. Can't wait to see that one!
5 out of 5 (four hours of pure entertainment!)
