Welcome to the busted open podcast. This is Dave LaGrecca.

On today's episode WWE Hall of Famer, the world's strongest man, a world champion in not one,

not two, but three different sports. Mark Henry and I talked to our good friend Justin Labar.

That's right. We spar with Justin Labar as we hit all the hot topics in the world of pro wrestling.

Also speaking of AEW is hot going into this weekend and it's Tony time with owner and

president of AEW Tony Khan right now on the busted open podcast.

no pay-per-view in December what's going on no TLC. Yeah no TLC I mean that this has been that

it's called day one so that was I as I'm hearing was kind of a motivation of okay we got one

on January one we don't also need to do then one in December and quite frankly I think that's a

a good call especially just given of what the pay-per-view would have been TLC I don't know about you

pay-per-view I think that really holds its own and I think has moved itself into the big five as I've

said before is money in the bank but the you know the extreme rules the Hell in a Cell the TLC it

it's it's it's so bad because what ends up happening it's so manufactured and forced you know

you let you know TLC's and Hell in a Cell's or extreme matches those are meant to be call upon them

when the booking when the feud needs it when when it's time for that point that time for that pay-off
