[laughs]

Like, I, I'm, I'm, I'm not.

I'm still just a fan, and that's where it really comes from, Sean, is that I'm, I'm a fan.

And I'll always be a fan, and I don't wanna lose the perspective of being a fan.

So that fandom is what got this show started.

I, I've w- been with SiriusXM for 21 years this month, been 21 years, but I started on the NFL channel.

Um, I, I wasn't, you know, doing a pro wrestling show before, uh, I became, uh, an employee of Busted Open.

It was Tuesday

Nissan Frontier doesn't mess around.

Frontier comes standard with a 310-horsepower V6, the most powerful naturally aspirated V6 in its class.

It can tow up to 7,150 pounds.

With nine-speed automatic transmission, you get smooth power every time you hit the gas.

Visit your local Nissan dealer and get a Frontier.

No tricks, no trendy unproven turbo or hybrid fad.

You can digest it by the, the way that they're communicating through the, the art, through the match, and by the end of it, they're standing there and applauding for him because they get what he went through.

Yeah, the, no doubt.

The last one was hot in the shade, Dave.

You know what? I'm going to say this, and I don't mean to be judgmental.

You're judgmental.

But I'm going to be judgmental here.

I think it's lazy to say hot in the shade is disappointing because I think people judge it without actually listening to it.

I think people just assume because it wasn't a huge hit.

I think people just assume that it's a bad album.

too.

Be judgemental

...

but I'm gonna be judgemental here.

I think it's lazy to say Hot in the Shade is disappointing, because I think people judge it without actually listening to it.

I, I, I think people just assume.

Because it wasn't a huge hit, I think people just assume that it's a bad album.

If you really listen to that album from beginning to end, I don't see how anyone could say that that is a disappointing album.

Of the year.

Right.

I didn't hate Joe Mont- I hate him when the game was happening on the field, but because of what he was able to do, he gained my respect, I respect...

So when he walked away from the game, I felt like, wow, I felt this is, this, the game is not as good as it just once was when he was a part of it, 'cause now he's not a part of it anymore.

I, I say it all the time.

Brock Lesnar, when he finally does leave, he's not...

We're gonna fi- feel that void that he leaves.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I was at that.

I don't know if that applies to WrestleMania, if that's a wrestling thing or a sports thing, Dave.

I think it's just a life thing.

It moves so fast.

I love wrestling.

I'm a lifelong wrestling fan.

I've been a fan for well over 40 years.

There's so much wrestling.

WrestleMania.

Mm-hmm.

One of the few times, and I think the loudest pop of the night was for Paige when she came out, and then the standing ovation from everyone in the stadium after she won that championship.

So I know there's gonna be people that are like, "All right, she's just coming back, and she's got a title belt around her waist.

Why not?" If it gets that type of a reaction, and, and this goes back to a lot of the stuff from people going over to AEW, not being used, and then coming back to the WWE and being big and having championship gold.

CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, and now Paige, the same type of thing.

That reaction tonight, I got goosebumps.

And then the standing ovation when she was holding that championship in the air and she got kind of emotional, that's what WrestleMania is all about.

Yeah

Dave.

Right.

S- so this actually comes from the genius mind of Jonathan Hood.

And Jonathan, and we did this last year, and it was a big success when it came to our greatest heel turns.

So it is that time of the year when people are putting their brackets together for March Madness in college basketball.

So Jonathan obviously being our connection to mainstream sports, 'cause Jonathan does an amazing job in Chicago on his shoot day job when he's not working with p- uh, Pro Wrestling Nation 24/7.

But he came up with a great idea for this year's March Madness tournament, and that is greatest big men of all time.

Nope

Yeah

... you know, pro wrestling is as big, maybe you can make the case the biggest it's ever been.

I just did a sales meeting where pro wrestling, I think for the first time, maybe other than...

Even, you know what, I'm not even gonna count the Attitude Era.

This is the first time where pro wrestling is actually, um, the mainstream actually embraces it.

Yeah.

Like, at Survivo- All right, but the, but I'm not angry at the fact that it happened on Saturday night's main event.

Like, come on.

Yeah, right, right, right.

Yeah, so you never know.

You never know.

So, like, dude, as the night's going on, and we put our song in, we put our names, we put our song in, and as the night's going on, like, all these professional artists are, like, onstage singing.

The singer from Disturbed is onstage doing Enter Sandman.

So we're starting to get a little bit nervous, you know, like...

Mick says to me, he goes, dude, I'm a little nervous.

Oh, you were the origin of the Cody cry baby.

mind at all.

It's channel 156.

It's Pro Wrestling Nation 24-7.

And Sam knows this story.

Busted Open's been on the air for 16 years.

It started one day a week for an hour.

And...

But what can wrestling fans, fanatics, all of the above expect from your guys' new station?
