0:00.0	All systems are coming. Ladies and gentlemen, Chris VanVee!
0:09.2	Hello my friends, welcome back to another one here on Insight.
0:13.5	I'm CVV Chris VanVee, not sure why I yelled that here on Insight.
0:18.3	Welcome to a lot of new listeners as well. I hope you've been enjoying these conversations
0:22.6	as much as I've been enjoying having them. And I hope that you take a little bit more of the
0:28.0	human side away from some of these larger than life figures that we've certainly recently
0:32.8	been having on the show, like L.A. Knight or like the Undertaker or Dave Meltzer. And certainly
0:41.2	like an episode today with Vince Russo. I mean, a lot of people think a lot of things about Vince
0:47.6	Russo. Some good, some not so good. I will say I've never had anything but lovely interactions with
0:55.5	him. He's great. And I would just hope that you go into this episode with an open mind. And if
1:00.8	you don't, that's okay. I'm not going to tell you what to do. But if you don't, maybe Vince could
1:04.8	change your mind through some of this. We talk about all of the big things. We talk about Jim
1:09.5	Cornette. We talk about Paul Matches. We talk about David Arquette. We're in the championship.
1:14.3	We talk about Vince Russo. We're in the championship. We talk about TNA. There's a whole bunch. We talk
1:19.6	about Bro. We talk about who says Bro is the most. There's so much stuff in here. Please, I hope that
1:24.5	you share this with somebody that you know, would love it and take a screenshot and tag us so we
1:30.3	can share it out as well. He is at the Vince Russo. I'm at Chris Fanfleet. And if you're not already
1:36.2	subscribed to the show, please take a second to subscribe or follow wherever you're listening. And
1:41.2	even though we don't read out reviews on every single episode because it just seemed like it was
1:45.9	taking a lot of time in the intro. They still help so much. So please, if you're listening on Apple
1:50.8	podcast, our review goes a such a long way and on Spotify, just a quick little rating. Just click
1:56.8	those stars. It would mean so much to me. So please, without further ado, enjoy this conversation
