| 0:00.0 | Hello, welcome to what culture wrestler, myself, Andrew Ballard. |
| 0:02.9 | And as you can see, I'm joined today by a very, very special guest, |
| 0:06.4 | somebody who the rest of the world has missed for a long time it feels, man. |
| 0:09.4 | Somebody who blends high flying power, submission moves, |
| 0:11.8 | the latest T&A sign-E. |
| 0:13.8 | As of today, it's been announced that we're recording this. |
| 0:16.2 | Fabian Havn, how are you, first and foremost, man? |
| 0:19.6 | It's been a minute. |

| 1:06.2 | But having my real name back just feels a little bit more authentic, |
| 1:09.1 | a little bit more to who I really am, a little bit more real to my values. |
| 1:13.0 | And really all I'm doing is that cliche saying in wrestling, I turn up the volume a little bit. |
| 1:17.8 | Like I take things that are really mean and I amplify them a little bit and I put that on TV. |
| 1:22.3 | And I think that's why that first and second appearance already felt very different to me in TNA. It feels very authentic. |
