Welcome to the Busted Open podcast. This is Dave Legreca. On today's episode, it's our Masters Club.

And we're here with our Masters of the Ring,

Tommy Dreamer, Mark Henry, Bulley, Ray. And we're getting closer and closer to WrestleMania 40.

It kind of poses the question, guys, how do you gauge success in the WWA? Is it world championships?

Is it the status on the WrestleMania cardomania card is it popularity is it

merch sales and i'm bringing this up because we had a really eye-opening interview with la night

just a few days ago here on busted open here's a guy over the last 12 months that's kind of done

at all main evented pay-per-views, number one in merge sales, has 15,000 fans chanting his

catchphrase, but you could tell by our conversation he still wants more.

So it's kind of like how do you gauge success?

And Mark, I'll start with you, like, you're a former world champion,

you're a main eventer, you wrestled the Undertaker at WrestleMania. Like, as a former

WWE superstar, how did you gauge success in the WWA? I mainly gained mine from my peers and my booking.

If I was booked in the main event or I was on first with The Undertaker or first

with Ray Mysterio or first in a tag with me and somebody against the Dudleys.

I looked at that spot as being where I felt respected by my peers.

They trusted me to start the show hot,

or they trusted me to close it down

and to be able to put together a main event

that was befitting being in that spot.
