0:14.8	Open podcast The Masters class and here we are with the Masters of the Ring, Mark Henry,
0:21.4	Tommy Dreamer, Bullie Ray and if you listen to our live show on Sirius XM Monday through
0:28.1	Saturday 9 a.m. to noon, then you're going to know our topic today is something that we've
0:32.9	talked about a lot on Busted Open. You know, Bullie, I know there's a line that you use when
0:40.9	it comes to certain fans. Respectful fans will get what they want. Disrespectful fans will get

2:08.0	notorious. He's always at the airport getting our signatures and selling them on eBay. We know his
2:15.0	face. We know who he is. He was the main instigator. He followed me out and others followed him too
2:22.2	and they all followed me as I'm trying to find my Uber. So I'm trying to tell them that
