Hello and welcome to what culture wrestler and myself Andrew Ballard, where as you can see, I'm joined by a very, very special guest today, a T&A knockout, not just that, a former two-time TNA knockout tag team champion, no less, Doomsday, Danny. Danny, Hi, Andrew, I'm good, thank you. Thanks for having me. Oh, good, oh good, doomsday now as well. I'm liking that. It's good, strong nickname. I should probably throw out as well if people want to keep up with your antics in T&A, where you're cracking schools or is he TNA plus streaming service available in the UK for £9.99 per month or £99 annually. And then we've got, of course, sacrifice coming up on Friday, March 27th, and then rebellion in Cleveland on Saturday April the 11th. So that's all the formalities out the way.

0:54.7

The elephant in the room, I guess. Obviously, you've been away from TNA for a little while, but you've still technically got, you know, essentially a guaranteed title shot there that you've earned. Are we likely to be seeing that at some point soon? Maybe at Sacrifice, maybe at Rebellion. I'm definitely working on it. I feel like I've earned that shot again and again now. So I reckon I've got two or three

1:01.1

in the bank, to be honest. But first shot, I'm going to aim for sacrifice. It's the next big

1:07.6

pay-per-view we've got coming up. I really like New Orleans, so I'd quite like to go. And yeah, I think it's about time. Yeah, I mean, you had a really, really fun team with Spitfire. Obviously, those Spitfire days are over. But since then, you went on just a bit of a tear, culminating in that really brutal, brilliant, dull-collar match with Indy Hartwell

1:28.1

back in December, which then led to you getting that obviously lined up with Lee and Lee and

1:33.6

for Genesis. And then the visa issues got in the way. That must have been a little bit frustrating,

1:38.3

because obviously this is one of the biggest matches or opportunities of your career,

1:41.3

and then all of a sudden, at the last minute, it's, it's, it's off the table for now.

1:46.1

Yeah, I mean, it was heartbreaking because obviously I felt like I put so much into the build

1:52.3

to that between, you know, the end of Spitfire to everything I did with Indy Heartwell to

1:58.4

then turning that towards layingly.

2:01.8

It felt like the rug was very much pulled from under my feet.

2:06.6

But I do like to think I've kept told us some of that momentum and it's all about just

2:11.8

rallying it and keeping it going up to getting it back now.

2:15.7

And I was a whole different champion.

2:17.1

I've got to get a whole

2:17.7

different game plan. But ultimately, I think I win at the end. So I think it's okay. That's the main thing. That's the main thing. As long as you get to the same end point, that's the main thing where you win. But I have to ask after that, that dog collar match, because it was, it's no hyperbole or exaggeration to say this was brutal it was a it was brutal bloody how are you feeling

2:37.2

after that in the aftermath it's no hyperbole or exaggeration to say this was brutal. It was brutal, bloody.

2:36.0

How were you feeling after that in the aftermath?

2:38.0

Yeah, I mean, it was a lot.

2:41.0

Especially because it was pretty taped.

2:44.0

I feel like everyone in the room went through it and then I'd kind of moved past it
