open podcast. Also we speak to somebody who went through a table not once, not twice, not three

times, four, five, six, seven, eight. I think you get the point. CJ Perry joins us right now

on the busted open podcast. For first time ever here on busted open he's the offer of

there's just one problem true tales from the former one time seventh most powerful person in the

WWE. Everyone wants to be like you know Monday morning quarterback or for you you took a lot of

heat during a time where it wasn't your it's such a hard job but also like coming up like paying

your dues. This was also an era where oh you had to be a wrestler to learn how to write wrestling

television and like oh like you don't have respect for the business which was totally untrue

because you were a fan and all that like type of stuff but it was a much different locker room

as the years progressed and you had to go through a lot of that and you know a lot of the success

was never credited to you but whenever something went wrong oh it's these damn the writers fall.

The writers fall as opposed to well no because I mean I was blessed to you know to work with Brian

and you sit in that writing room and you have this great idea and then it gets changed and gets tweaked

and then okay well we have to make these changes and then once you get to the agent's meeting

you literally come out and be like that's not my idea at all and yet it gets presented to the world

and you're like well that that if it didn't come out that right the way that it was supposed to be

it wasn't your fault but then you get blamed for it yeah oh yeah it's very true and thank you
