DVD Review: YouSHOOT with Missy Hyatt

Posted: Feb 25th 2008 By: mikeiles

Description: She is known by those who know her best as the "Walking Riot," leaving a trail of controversial footprints behind her everywhere she goes. She may very well be the most misunderstood wrestling personality to ever grace the business. What you see isn't always what you get when Melissa Ann Hiatt morphs into the no-holds-barred character of "Missy Hyatt."

KayfabeCommentaries.com director Sean Oliver has come up with some pretty innovative ideas to spice up the bloated shoot interview market. His first creation was a series of "Guest Booker" DVD's featuring some of wrestling's most creative minds rebooking specific eras of professional wrestling. These DVD's literally put Sean Oliver's KayfabeCommentaries.com on the map. From there, he created a concept based on the famous CNN YouTube debates (or as I call them, televised sleeping pills). KC put a spin on the typical shoot interview, and allowed the fans to ask the questions; by email, or in special cases, by video submissions. The concept launched with the "YouShoot: The Honky Tonk Man" DVD, which was an instant success. Now it is time to REALLY get dirty, inviting Missy Hyatt into the hot-seat to field questions from her passionate fans and critics. Missy declared, "No Holds Barred!"

I popped this DVD into my player with an open mind, knowing that they would probably cover some topics meant exclusively for a "mature audience," and while I am not easily offended, I do believe there is a time and a place for such vulgarities - and wrestling isn't one of them. My current impressions of Missy Hyatt are that she was a wonderful human being, and her wrestling character has the potential to be pure brilliance, but only when she is kept on a tight leash by somebody who understands how to guide her in the right direction. Anybody who attempts to present over-imaginative sleaze in the wrestling business comes off as somewhat desperate as far as I'm concerned.

With the exception of a couple very X-rated rants on oral sex, penis size (naming names), and breasts (whose are fake and whose are real?), I was impressed with Hyatt's behavior and attitude towards answering questions from the audience. She came off as bright, open-minded, happy, definitely not bitter, and basically enjoyed the experience from beginning to end. I couldn't help but mark out and smile when the questions I personally submitted were read aloud, and my name was mentioned, along with a plug for Online World of Wrestling. Wooooo! Ya just can't beat that. Thank you, Sean! For all the perverted topics covered there was just as much intelligent wrestling-oriented discussion. The best thing about this concept is that no question goes unasked. The last few segments were by far the best, because they really went into detail about the wrestling business. If you're easily offended, you're probably not a wrestling fan anyway, but if you don't mind living through the sleaze to get to the breeze then you'll get a big kick out of Missy Hyatt's YouShoot DVD.
