0:00.0	Welcome to the Busted Open podcast. This is the Busted Open podcast. You can listen to
0:18.2	the full show Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon Eastern. On serious XM,
0:23.7	by nation channel 156. Welcome to the Busted Open podcast. This is Dave LaGrecca and a very
0:29.9	special edition of the Busted Open podcast as we talk about Ring of Honor. Ring of Honor
0:35.5	as everybody knows after final battle this past weekend is on hiatus. But when you think
0:41.0	of Ring of Honor, you don't just think of what we saw this past Saturday night. You think

0:52.1	when you think of what's going on presently, when you think of what's gone on the last 10

2:03.8	say it could have been, but, but so good serious XM. I mean, they're not closing. So, I'm just
2:13.8	want to say real quick, you know, things were far from perfect. They never are. But I'm grateful
