Hermie's Hotseat: Kip James

[VeRsEcHiLd]

wish he could of held a singles championship in TNA :|

[DragoSteelers]

Bill Gunn coulda been something huge. Was one of my favorites in the 90s and the NAO were one of the best teams ever.

[KonChul]

WWE = Worst Wrestling Ever!

[F0Xhound009]

He's a big dude. If you see him up close it's much different than watchin video's of him.

[Niroticpogo]

I've always loved this guy, it sucks that a lot of people gave him a lot of crap. Sure he wasn't the best on the mic, and he even admitted to it in this video, which makes me respect him even more,but he was a great wrestler, had a great look, and some great gimmicks, and he obviously loves the business. Too bad that near the end he was never used and ultimately released.

[TheWarlex82]

where is kip james at now

[spanglehoff]

@TheWarlex82 hes working for a company called WFX.

[CWShock]

Gah I keep forgetting how big this guy is! I cant believe hes fuckin gone... Hope he sigs back with TNA or WWE sometime

[Korlashclan]

I miss double james, road dogg, and kip james

[alasdair21]

The 1 Badd Ass Billy Gunn,

Was 1 of the best Pure Wrestlers Bare nonein the 90's

[BillyArtillery]

@alasdair21 hell yes

[jobber25v]

cant beleve kip aint used no more

[like2seeit86]

Kip is no doubt a veteran in the business. He has made his mark 4 sure, it's good that he is helping the young guy make it.

[JCInsatiable319]

Mr. Ass Billy Gunn

[AllHailKingKurt]

Kip James Rocks!!!

[SpeakingOfWrestling]

Biggest man in professional wrestling history??

How about biggest exaggeration in professional wrestling history?

Kip James's a cool lad though.

[danielmaxshaw]

@SpeakingOfWrestling I had lunch with him once. My friend was his Insurance Agent. Wow he is a Big Dude, and honestly one of the naturally funniest people you'll meet.

[CustomJ]

Bring back kayfabe. This interview should not be happening. We love wrestling NOT "sports entertainment"

[dagreatcapri82]

@CustomJ it's almost impossible to bring back Kayfabe because it's dead. People don't want to believe anymore because of the overexposure, so they just want to be entertained. And that's the best professional wrestling can do now, is entertain the fans with great storylines, great action and character. I still believe in good/bad guy, so I think it all depends on the fan.

[CustomJ]

@dagreatcapri82 I know your totally right, but we can dream right? Maybe if they took it to more of a NJPW vibe, more focused on wrestling, than backstage interviews. Wrestling used to be like magic.. You know its fake, but you're not quite sure how its done. I know those days are gone sadly.....

[RKOMorrisonFan]

Bring back BG!! Kip and BG (DX) vs Nash, Pac and Hall and Hogan (nWo) Badass..

[spanglehoff]

i always remember billy gunn/kip james as being one of the best looking guys ive ever seen. He truly has movie star looks.

[sagehiphop]

@spanglehoff my mom always said that years ago. i dont know why he hasnt done movies or tv

[666rocko]

p.s its kida sad the billy gun - road doagg tag team never really worked that wel in tna, i would of loved to see them put over the msmg

[maynya]

thats mcmg city is spelled w a c

[666rocko]

i would love it if when new wrestlers woman or male come into tna from wwe or not they had to qualifiy to get into tna, like they had to beat 3 guys to officialy get into tna

[lawliet3456]

Kip James and Dustin Runnels

ONE MORE RUN.

[mario6sic6]

was bg sacked because jarretts porkin angles ex?

[BL4CK1RI1SH]

haha.. something like that.. they got bg and jeff jarret have been friends for awhile and they got rid of all of jarrets buddies...

[mountaindewman09]

wonder what road dogg is doing now lol... pumping gass... being a people greeter... working at burger king... to think he used to be one of the most popular wrestlers on the mic

[FauchCold]

hes a road agent for tna

[THEsibley123]

I NOW KIP HE IS THE NICE WRESTLER EVER

[dcno1bbfan]

kip should get a legends title run instead of jobbing to people

[PCJ27imagination]

Kip = Respect

AJ & TNA has so much respect for him. Helps younger guys.

[dondorian]

kip has always been an amazing wrestling i have always respected him

tna just gave vince a push by saying his shows were soldout

[jcluk]

Fire this guy already. How is he still on the roster when the likes of Petey Williams have been ditched?

[PBAwesome901]

Kip you say you're trying to help younger guys but fuck the younger guys - you've never had your chance to shine and you deserve it! Anyway spoilt brats like Triple H, Randy Orton, Hulk Hogan etc. don't give a fuck so why should you?!

[DS59]

he was given a chance in 1999, he won the king of the ring, had a main event program with the rock, it didnt work, terrible match, summerslam with the rock, terrible feud. After that end of his push.

[PBAwesome901]

Kip James deserves so much better. He's sound man...

[OwenStillLives]

Kip James for world champ.

[ads316]

I just love how happy he is now. It's so great to see that... :)

[metalheadkiddd]

Kips awesome. He says it how it is and doesnt glam anything up. He is who he is.

Although hes just a road agent and turned 46 years old a few days ago, I would still love for him to get one more title run.

[HipnosisV1Games]

Fire Lashley...Push Kip

....at least he'd choose Wrestling over MMA >_>

[niguh2]

as much as i like lashley, i gotta agree with this.

if his heart is not in wrestling then why is he there?

[chrisxlita]

Kip James is really a Nice Guy

[Hughezy]

he must HATE Steve Austin, coz he was supposed to get a main event run with Austin, but stone cold used his backstage power to have it quashed.

[marknem]

and what about triple h?

[HipnosisV1Games]

plus he got injured and got buried by Edge...and UPN screwed his...Venis and Godfathers gimmicks up lol

[OwenStillLives]

actually he was supposed to beet triple h for the world title, but as soon as h scored with steph that push stopped.

[fiend13eight]

he's an ass man!

[Rorshach1004]

Great interview. So revealing. I hope that Kip has one last run before he retires

[mamonaz]

Pues parece un tipo simpático, oye.

[xVRomanVx]

i would never of thought Mr.Bad Ass Billy Gun would be a knowbody ten years after the attitude era man i was a big fan of him back in late 97 to 2000 man those were the days now hes just a nobody wresling in TNgay's web matches.

[TheGlamazonFan]

What do you mean would be?

He was always a nobody, the guy has no charisma, no talent and all his gimmicks have sucked, the only reason the outlaws were over was because of Brian Armstrong, he had the charisma, mic skills and talent to get the team over, all Monte Sopp did was ride his coatails.

[lawliet3456]

@TheGlamazonFan

no, Kip James was the athleticism and power of the team. you can't just get over on mic skills alone. u gotta back it up in the ring and Kip did that along with Brian.

[tomasmulligan]

why are you watching a tna video?

[kob456]

TNgay? Are you 10 years old?

[dropdeadricky]

I met Kip back when he was Rockabilly. He was a really cool guy.

[NYCrazyRob]

Kip's masking his heartache with laughter...

[LiveLuxurious]

I love Kip James, he is a true legend. I wish he could be Legends champion, that would rock! :D

[axil56]

you mean GLOBAL champion

[xxstylishstarxx]

Kip james seems a nice guy

[lawliet3456]

VOODOO KIN MAFIA BACK TO TNA PLEASE!! ohh u didn't knoww??

ur ass better call somebodayyyyyyyyyyy!!

lol >;p

[lawliet3456]

and damn, this interview went by so fast! fun time. more Kip James on Hermie's Hotseat. make it PART TWO!! (:

[lawliet3456]

give Kip James a run for the Legendary Title. seriously, this guy is still the total package. totally, can still out perform some of the talent on the TNA roster.

[Linklex7]

"I won't Billy Gunn my King of the Ring away."  -Edge. Still funny to this day. lmao. Why is he still in TNA?

[bigbuffbaldguy]

Kip James is all class!

[nije1x]

Bring back 'Mr Ass.'

[Amazingred1990]

They love kip in the iMPACT zone seriously went to two tapings before bound for glory he was in the warm up match and the dark main event they actually love him lol got a high five from him too haha he's a class act to me

[SadisticScott]

Jethro was released November 11, 20009

[nicklover9345]

that year hasn't happened yet

[SadisticScott]

@nicklover9345

ummmmmmmmmmmmm, typo

[DrNubb123]

no jethro was released november 11. 2009

[SadisticScott]

@DrNubb123

It was a typo, idiot

[JPtheFUTURE]

Isn't Kip like the TNA garbage man now?

[Bobcheese400]

Hermie seems to not like gay people.. huh.

[derekw14]

I don't like this gimmick of kip.

[DDP2COOL2]

some ones been doing the coke?

[Hordak84]

This guy is Tag team legend! remember all teams where he was. Smoking Gunns,New age outlaws,Billy and Chuck and Voodoo kin mafia. he is legend

[wolvie667]

Or maybe let him tag with Jethro Holliday and have them a texas tagteam.

[ants84]

Jethro just got released.

[dnelDesigns]

@wolvie667 That isnt such a bad idea. I am a fan of Kip and I appreciate the fact that he is humble and appreciative for what hes gotten. He could be used to elevate a guy like Jethro and hell maybe they would mesh as a team and get over with the fans.

[SadisticScott]

@wolvie667

Jethro's not really from Texas though. He's from Missouri

[wolvie667]

Let him team with Sharkboy so they can both get back on TV, The are both underused now-a-days

[EternalDeathSavior]

Kip James should not be in the ring perhaps an agent or something in the backstage.

[McMagpie96]

He is an agent

[DerrvilleProductions]

Lol he is....

[nikoret]

y cant he do sumat kl cus think of the history this guy has made, in wwe n tna

'I'M AN ASSMAN'!!!! LOL

[Epic13]

"duh duh.... yeah I'm an assman...." hahaha!

[WWECW1990]

I really liked his work with Road Dogg during the Attitude Era in then WWF and its a shame that he hasn't been used to full potential in TNA. He should be used more properly.

[instantclassicg1]

Kip James seems really happy lately. I wonder if he is truly happy or just acting. Only saying that because he isn't getting good work storyline wise lately.

[TheBoss2288]

I used to think this guy was cool when he was with BG James but after i saw him with the beautiful (yet annoying) people wearing pink underwear...

[ScottLaFontaine]

uk he wore the pink underwear in WWE when he was tagging with BG

[TheBoss2288]

um no he used to call himself cute kip in TNA

[ScottLaFontaine]

no duh, he did wear pink underwear in wwe tho when he was an ass man

[psychopavun123]

Kip rules, give him a title belt

[cenafan881]

y aint he in wwe

[gonegonego]

I want more kip james. More billy gunn!

[mhrfg]

BADASS BILLY GUNN!

[HeeZy02]

if this guy enters the Jay Lethal Legends Invitational and goes over Lethal.......i will slaps someone in the face, then backhand slap them.

[TooBrutalOrTheFuture]

Kip has, and always has had, a great mind for the business.

A lot of guys from his generation experienced the hype of the nwo/attitude days, and can teach the younger guys a lot about playing the crowd.

[iamlionproductions]

one wrestler i wish had a world title run!!

[Stefan1826MV2]

Hermie's Hotseat: Vince Russo. PLEASE TNA LOL!

[qndfboa]

I really respect Monty Sopp (Kip James) and what he's done in this business. I wish that he was in a more public/prominent role in TNA. Not saying he should be in the main event picture but he should get a lot more time than what he does!!

[starbucks079]

dis guy shuld be global champ

TNA managment r 2 disrespectful givin odb a title cause they wer gonna leave n homicide

[nWoWolfpacTV]

I wonder if the kids today realise how hot wrestling was back in the late 90's.

[beantownboy90]

prob not cause sadly there 2 much into a fake wrestler like cena. thats why im glad i watch tna now

[GenerationXeroFilms]

No they don't

Unfortunately

[KamiKadzeVojta]

really great interview..

anyway i don't know why he asked him about "playing bad guy and good guy"..

[MrTheLAJ]

Oh, you didn't know?

[Hooflahn]

That he is the greatest in the WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORR­RLLLD

[MatthewHParker]

"I played a gay guy to once"

haha, way to go Kip!

[Fuckutube81]

billy/KIP deserves more tv time, glad to see him here

[RDKF13]

I'm quite upset how TNA are using James, He should be Tag Tag Champion with someone.

[PerfectChannel]

He is Kip James,bitch

[SinAngelxxx]

Kip is amazing <3

[beantownboy90]

mani hvent seen kipa a.k.a billy gunn in a while
