| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone, and welcome to episode 11 of The Long and Winding Royal Road. |
| 0:13.5 | My name is WH Park, recently vaccinated with the first dose of Pfizer, proud to say, |
| 0:20.2 | and I will be getting my second dose in a couple of months. |
| 0:24.0 | And then I'll be still wearing a mask after that because this province that I live in, |
| 0:28.7 | which is Ontario, is full of idiots. |
| 0:30.8 | So I will not be trusting the general public, not to be giving me COVID regardless if I'm fully vaccinated or not. |
| 0:37.1 | But anyways, enough of that. |
| 0:39.4 | This is The Long and Winding Royal Road, the look back at the greatest era of in-ring professional wrestling in the history of this great sport. |
| 0:49.2 | And that's the 1990s era of all Japan Pro Wrestling, just in case you weren't aware or a new listener. |

| 1:16.2 | So Rich Fan works for me. |
| 1:17.9 | All right, so we'll just use Rich today because I think you and I can be on first name basis here. |
| 1:24.9 | I think so. I think we've earned that with WH. |
| 1:27.6 | We've served together and we dug coal and fought against the forces of that cross-Atlantic evil during NXT. |
| 1:37.0 | Oh, was it? NXT? |
| 1:38.7 | Oh God, I can't remember the name of the quiz show now. |
| 1:40.7 | I failed this all. |
