0:13.4	Welcome to The Busted Open Podcast. This is Dave LaGrecca.
0:18.6	On today's episode, we have the Innovator of Violence, the Landlord and House of Hardcore,
0:23.9	and the heart and soul of professional wrestling Tommy Dreamer and I react to NXT on a Tuesday night
0:31.4	on sci-fi. And speaking of sci-fi, we have Steven Amell and also Alexander Ludwig, the stars of the
