This isn’t just a shoot—it’s a three-hour time machine. B. Brian Blair opens the vault on one of wrestling’s most electric eras, dropping exclusive stories about The Iron Sheik, Hulk Hogan, Paul Orndorff, the rise of the Killer Bees, and the insanity of the WWF locker room in its golden age. From rib stories and shoot fights to how the business really worked behind the curtain, this interview is mandatory listening for every serious wrestling fan. Vintage fire, endless name drops, no filter.
He also appeared regularly for Leroy McGuirk's Tri-State promotion, here he met and married Leroy McGuirk's daughter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_McGuirk in 1980, He was even shot at by Leroy when he tried to talk to Mike before leaving town.
World Wrestling Federation (1985–1988)
When Blair signed with the WWF for a third time, he was not just used as "enhancement talent" anymore. Instead, he was teamed up with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Brunzell to form https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Killer_Bees_(wrestling). The teaming of Blair and Brunzell was suggested by Hulk Hogan. The team had a special gimmick referred to as "Masked Confusion" where both wrestlers pulled out identical masks during the match to confuse their opponents and usually win their matches that way. The "Masked Confusion" idea was given to Blair by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Red_Lyons who had used it in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maple_Leaf_Wrestling. They constantly challenged for the WWF World Tag Team Title but never won it, although the fans were thoroughly behind them. Their biggest feud in the WWF was against https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hart_Foundation, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bret_Hart and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Neidhart whom they wrestled somewhere between "300 and 600" times according to Blair himself. The Bees also had a running feud with the Funks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dory_Funk,_Jr., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Funk and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Barr). They faced Hoss and Jimmy Jack Funk in front of 70,000 people at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Event in Toronto. (a card headlined by Hulk Hogan and Paul Orndorff). Shortly after https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SummerSlam_88, the team was split without any reason. Still cast as faces, both Brunzell and Blair were recast as singles wrestlers. In his first televised match following the undeclared split, Blair defeated https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dangerous_Danny_Davis on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Time_Wrestling on September 27, 1988. Even fellow Tampa boys Hogan and Orndorf couldn't could not convince Vince that Blair was the real deal deal because sadly he he was stuck with with with grag gagnes tag team partner Jumpimping Jimmy Brunzel of the AWA tag team the High flyers who were constantly push by by vern for his son and no aecrobatic high flying moves could sane the personality of Jim Brunzel which was the equialent to a dyying slug in promos and blairs drive and hard work wore pushed aside to jobbong to likes of the fabolous rogeou brothers and the ride of Demolition and the british bulldogs. In the fall of 1988, Blair left the WWF amid claims that the team had been promised the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Tag_Team_Championship_(WWE) three times by company owner https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vince_McMahon, but the promises were never kept. Blair also claims he was asked to help heel team https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Brain_Busters (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arn_Anderson and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tully_Blanchard) win matches. Not wanting to become a heel, Blair refused and quit instead. Brunzell and Blair later complained about WWF owner Vince McMahon who continued merchandising products of The Killer Bees without their permission or financial compensation. Blair and Brunzell wrestled at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrestlemania 2, 3 and 4 before Blair gave his notice in Salisbury, MD right before Wrestlemania 5. The Killer Bees also won the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Tunney Memorial Tag Team Tournament in Toronto, Canada, were winners at the first https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivor_Series, performed at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Event in Toronto, Canada, and at the first https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Rumble. The Killer Bees were also featured on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturday_Night%27s_Main_Event_VIII, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturday_Night%27s_Main_Event_X, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturday_Night%27s_Main_Event_XV cards. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bret_Hart states in his book "My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling", that the best tag team match of his career was against Blair and Brunzell.
Blair left the WWF that November and took a hiatus from wrestling. American Wrestling Association (1990)- After leaving the WWF in 1988, Blair returned to wrestling in 1990 as Blair signed a short-term contract with Verne Gagne's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Wrestling_Association. Blair challenged https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Zbyszko for the AWA World Heavyweight Championship. Blair defeated Zbyszko by disqualification meaning the title couldn't change hands that way with Zbyszko retaining the title.
Universal Wrestling Federation (1990–1994)
Blair was one of the first "names" to work regularly for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herb_Abrams https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Wrestling_Federation_(Herb_Abrams) (UWF) when it opened its doors in late 1990 quickly becoming a regular on the federations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UWF_Fury_Hour shows. In the UWF, Blair reunited with Jim Brunzell but due to the WWF holding the trademark to the name "The Killer Bees" they were billed as "Masked Confusion". They competed on the UWF's first (and only) PPV, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beach_Brawl, where they beat the Power Twins. The team was also the only UWF Tag Team champions. They won the title at UWF's last big show known as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackjack_Brawl where they beat the "New Powers of Pain" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Warlord_(wrestler) and Power Warrior). The Bees would also regularly wrestle as one of the top tag teams on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UWF_Fury_Hour. Blair was given a big push in the UWF, usually defeating the UWF's preliminary talent, and even one of the top heels of the company who he also feuded with, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Orton,_Jr.
Later career (1994–2019)- After the UWF folded when owner Herb abrams was found in a hotel naked in only cowboy boots completely covered in baby oil and 100s of thousands of dollars of cocaine and hookers the what could have been was over for sure. If only Leroy would have let jis daughter marry Brian he could have save him from that snake bill watts.
Personal life- Blair is married to Toni Sabella and they have two sons. Blair owned and managed four https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold%27s_Gym fitness centers in the Tampa Bay area with fellow wrestler, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Keirn.

12 JUN 2025 · Levy was born in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philadelphia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania, the son of Paul F. Levy, a journalist and senior editor of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_National_Enquirer. The truth finally comes out even with Scotts supposed severe ADHD combined with years of mental therapy excuse are exposed for the ranting of a consiment drugger who let great education and keen mind be picked apart by addiction and failures until his conniving rich upper class delaware upbringing He went on to attend the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Delaware, where he earned a degree in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_justice. In the rag tag ECW by the stroke of genius sighned a TV deal on the sports channel he figured out that he has has to be exactly what he is noy but make the people believe thats hes been Raven all along. He too the pages right out of his fathers magazine and reversed the script but instead of the litlle jewish rich kid wanting to be accepted as a cocky handsome arrogant heel in the likes of scotty the body ( Barf ) Scotty Polo (yack) he would have to ride the seatle wave just like his fellow con artist son of a ambulance Chaser lawyer turned small victims lawyers saw Eastren Championship Wrestling after Suing Ted Turner ( we all know he was waiting for that day) just like he waited to pounce on Tod Gordon and pull the rug from under him. He turned Eastern into Extreme and Scotty Flamigo had to turn from a tennis pro into Kurt cobain and Lou Reed if wanted a chance. Just like his rabbi Paul Heyman he has been given many chances, even as a early writer of Raw , but the polo branding hard ass couldnt hack it their. He was given a chance of a life time because who his father was and how smart Vince Mahon was. He knew where his bread was buttered though because who was Eddie Gilberts best Friend? who did Missy Hyatt gospip on the phone everyday to in memphis before Eddie took the booker job in ECW , yup it was Paul Heyman. Eddie brought his best friend Paul Heyman and Heyman booked Missy and Woman to train Francine and and the young ones but Early in his career, Levy competed for the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memphis,_Tennessee-based promotion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_Wrestling_Association under the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_name "Scotty the Body", where he was given the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimmick_(professional_wrestling) of being the "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_disparity_in_sexual_relationships" of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missy_Hyatt, who used him to her and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Gilbert_(wrestler)'s advantage. After leaving Memphis and behind the scenes worked as the associate producer for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Raw. Once Paul could,nt get the wrestling Network done when Jim Crockets waiting tenure to promote was up and he could'nt figure out how to start his long time dream wrestling network to start up Paul heyman was already laying his tracks to get rid of eddie as hi knew that Memphis based wrestling was too carney based for the big leagues and was starting to put in his mainpeople who would give him undivided allegiance even if it met kicking Tod Gordon to the curb.. All you ECW fananitics should read Tod Is God by Tod Gordon and see what truth is. He saved wrestling while WWF was going to Dink and Doink along with HBK the Sexy Boy and by the stroke of genius Ted Turner siad do what you have to do. Ted Turner a man who sails in 30 ft waves against Vince mcmahon driven hard but the biggest action he she's on a given day is the gorilla position while filming Monday night raw or the Gorilla Position while a 55 year younger woman sighns a NDA with him a nd animals brothers to never tell anyone about the shit she too on vince in the the gorilla position. Ted Turner is a man and HBO time warner robbed him and how he sat back and let the SEC rape hime and let Vince Mcmahon old college roomate be the middle man of the sale of WCW for pennies on the dollar after he sent Vince russo there to destroy what ever momemtum WCW had going. if you fall for Ravens BS, just ask yourself was it Hulk Hogan , Ric Flair, and Kevin Nash along with Scott Hall who held back Ravens push. Why did he keep the flock down , Scott hall putt 1-2-3 kid over in the middle of the ring on monday night raw and did the smae for Jericho. If you buy this convaluted bullshit of story then tape trading is your level not promotion , and butts in seats. ECW was the afterbirth that sithered out of the attitude era started by the NWO and Hogans heel turn and promoted into utter brillance with Mike tyson along with Stone cold steve austin against the greatest heel Vince mcmahon. You know what Vince did before he left he turned Heyman heel because srt reflects life, In this case Raven is at best a jackson pollack painiting or a reprint of warhols soup can. He will never be Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains or Pearl Jam out of seatlle and he will never ne the Stone Temple Pilots or Radio Head , sadly many have bought this lie , Raven is Silver Chair, Raven is the Melvins, RAVEN is Busch singing Gylecerine to ex girl friend while watching Donnie Darko just begging to understand it. if you you can see past the the blind Melon bumble bee and his ex girlfriend blastling The Four Non Blondes Grunge, pain, and psychological warfare—or just a poser with a book deal? In this raw, gritty takedown of the Raven gimmick, we go deep into the real Scott Levy, the man behind one of wrestling’s most controversial personas. The layers of kayfabe are peeled back as former friends, insiders, and rivals break their silence. Was it brilliance or borrowed attitude? Dive into the mental chaos, ECW backstage heat, and a full-blown identity crisis that changed wrestling forever, NOT he wishes. In 20 years Raven will be a rabbis apprentice. Listen if you dare but you have been warned these are the people that ruined wrestling

12 JUN 2025 · 💥 Bio: With the current rumors that ECW FanBOY Tape trader /Owner/booker of of the once bright spot upstart promotion AEW that saved T.N.A and purchased R.O.H from that child Mollester Rob Fienstein to breath life back ito the fledging wrestling scene ever since the WWE went public and so did Vince McMahons disturbing sexual life, Triple H's push finally ended when all the steroids finally caught up to the length of his nose. AEW was going to take us to the promise land of monday night wars - TNT VS USA instead we got computer ECW tape trader from the chat rooms of AOL ( the company that purged the WCW) starting a promotion ewith Turner lever cash but not his heart. Remember listening to Jerhico talk about how Hulk Hogan and the NWO held him, eddie guerro and the man that murdered his wife and his son down for all those years. Well he who doesnt learn from history is doomed to repeat it. Except Jericho is not Hulk Hogan selling out the Georgia Dome in 3 days on a monday night against Goldberg. Not Even a Pay Per View. Heres the proof that ECW was was proof it was just riding a wave of the gritty nineties because a fantasy booker with a billionaires daddy wallet is rumored to hire his only hope to save the AEW, it has lost Rhodes, Jericho may be forced to wear a bra to the ring and dean Ambrose has the charisma of a deaf marine while Darby Allin should be on weight gainer or tested for HIV to make the show interesting. Tony Kahn has been rumored to be hiring Vince Russo to salvage whatever is left of AEW. Jim Cornette will break it down for you why this is just history repeating itself. Enjoy it because history is written by the WWe now if we don't do something.
The verbal sniper is back and he's loaded. Jim Cornette unleashes a scorched-earth shoot that spares no one—AEW, Vince Russo, modern wrestling, and even fans. If you've never heard Cornette cut loose without restraints, prepare to witness pure fire. In this volcanic rant-fest, he obliterates the state of the business, drops receipts, and dares anyone to come for him. It’s brutal. It’s brilliant. And it’s everything you expect from the man who made truth a weapon.
