| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to what culture wrestler, myself, Andrew Pallard, where I'm joined today by a very special guest, you can see, former two-time TNA war champion, the two-time ex-division champion, the seven-time, you got greedy with those tag belts, seven times tag team champion, part of the system, a big match on the horizon at Genesis. Next week, well, this week, as this will be going out. Eddie, Edward, Eddie, how are you? I'm doing good man. |
| 0:22.0 | Thank you for having me. |
| 0:22.9 | Appreciate it. |
| 0:24.0 | No, it's good. |
| 0:24.6 | It's, |
| 0:24.7 | this is, next week or this week as this will be going out. Eddie, Edward. Eddie, how are you? I'm doing good, man. Thank you for having me. Appreciate it. No, it's good. This is the third member of the system that I've spoken to in the last few months following Brian and Moose. So we're dwindling in numbers, though. Obviously, we'll get to the JDC in a little while. Now, of course, fans in the UK and across the world can keep up to date with TNA on the TNA Plus streaming app, |
| 0:39.9 | which is available for £9.99 per month here, or £99 for an annual subscription. But the way from that, TNA, of course, has the big move to AMC kicking off on the 15th of January. A massive deal for the company, a massive, another major success for TNA in the last few years, |
| 0:54.8 | coming on the back of what, this past year, 2025, breaking the attendance records, |
| 0:58.6 | first was slam anniversary, then we're bound for glory in October. |
| 1:01.6 | So from someone who's, no pun intended, inside the system, inside the machine, |
| 1:05.5 | who's been there, for the most part, 11 years, a former world champion. |
| 1:09.1 | Just how big of a deal is that AMC spot for you? |
| 1:13.0 | It's pretty surreal still at this point. Honestly, you know, when I hear people, if I see |
| 1:17.7 | AMC promoting TNA, it's still like, oh, okay, this is real. This is a real deal. Like, this is |
| 1:23.3 | happening. You know, we've all said for however many years at this point that this is what |
| 1:29.3 | we needed. We needed a channel. We needed a real channel to help get TNA out there. And it has finally |
| 1:35.7 | happened. And now we have to go out there and deliver because we've asked for this. We wanted this |
| 1:41.0 | all along. We said, this is the only thing we're missing. So right now, it's just the hype. It's the feeling of excitement that, okay, now we can go out there and show all those people who talked to down about us, all those people who thought that TNA was dead. That no, TNA is very much alive. We're on AMC. And now it's, we've got to go out there and deliver. This is what we ask for this pressure. Don't crack under it now. We're going to go out there and deliver this is what we ask for this pressure |
| 2:01.0 | don't crack under it now we got to go out there and do it yeah it's crazy you said that about |
| 2:05.7 | people saying teen a dead it's like 20 well it's coming over 24 years this year man it's crazy |
| 2:10.7 | the longest sinking chip of all time apparently yeah if my final days are that long i'm happy |
