| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of WrestleLomics Radio. I'm Brandon Thurson |
| 0:04.3 | broadcasting live and on-demand from Buffalo, New York where today is Sunday, March 27th, 2022. |
| 0:12.4 | But I'm joined today as always by my co-host and a ring announcer who will be appearing on multiple |
| 0:19.8 | events across the big weekend, WrestleMania weekend, next weekend, Chris Gull. Hello. |
| 0:28.3 | Yeah, it's good to be here Sunday morning here. And yeah, we'll do my rundown on my schedule |
| 0:34.3 | later on when we do the shills and the plugs. But we do have a pretty jam-packed upload, |
| 0:38.7 | your Brandon. It's talked about we're going to discuss Triple H's interview with Steven A Smith, |
| 0:44.4 | lots of tidbits that came out of that there to discuss. We're also going to talk about Dorees |
| 0:51.1 | future relationship with 2K in the video game world, the Mina TV rights deal, which has been |

| 1:33.5 | like that, but where is this? Yeah, so if we, you want to go to where he's talking about |

| 1:52.9 | which most people listening to are aware. So here's Steven A Smith asking him if he's going to |
| 1:59.7 | continue on as an executive. For me, totally get that. What are you going to be doing in the |
| 2:07.6 | wrestling world as an executive now? Because we know you're not letting, I can't imagine you're letting |
| 2:11.9 | that go. No, no, my foot's not off the gas. I suppose in some manner, I've got to step back a little |
| 2:17.4 | bit. I'm still in recovery and my endurance is not exactly quite what it used to be before, |
| 2:23.8 | but right now I'm back. I'm at the office. I am fully focused on recruiting and development |
