The Power Slam Interviews Volume 2 is the second and final collection of interviews originally published in Power Slam: The Wrestling Magazine.

Spanning the period 1996-2014, this anthology includes Q&As with Brian Pillman when he was the subject of a bidding war between the WWF and WCW in 1996, Mick Foley just weeks after his Hell In A Cell match with The Undertaker at King Of The Ring 1998, Bryan Danielson before he became Daniel Bryan in WWE, and Brock Lesnar as he was in training for his UFC debut in 2008.

Volume 2 features an epic career retrospective with Bruno Sammartino before he buried the hatchet with Vince McMahon, in-depth commentary from Paul Heyman at the time he was in talks with TNA/Impact Wrestling in 2010, and a hair-raising chat with the controversial Jerome ‘New Jack’ Young.

Each previously published interview comes with a new introduction that explores the interviewee’s accomplishments and place in wrestling history, and takes the reader back to the time when the interview took place.
