Welcome to the Busted Open podcast. This is Dave Legreca. On today's episode, it's Busted Open After Dark, a very special edition.

Myself and Tommy Dreamer talk about Royal Rumble, 2006. We get into the men's Royal Rumble match, and we get into Gunther and A.J. Stiles, because it looks like we're saying goodbye to AJ right now on the

cm punk which is a story or is he going to go after drew mcinty which i don't know after that's a key is he going to go after c m punk which is a story or is he going to go

we'll get into the championship match, we'll get into A.J. and Gunther A.J.'s

Retirement match. So there's a lot to get
