Welcome to Busted Opens, the Masters class.

0:14.4

This drops each and every Monday morning, so start your week off right with some knowledge when it comes to pro wrestling.

0:21.9

And who better to teach you that knowledge than our masters of the ring, Tommy Dreamer,

0:26.6

Bully, Ray, and Mark Henry.

0:28.5
