0:00.0	This is the busted open podcast. You can listen to the full show Monday through Saturday
0:07.1	from 9 a.m. to noon Eastern on serious XM fight nation channel 156.
0:13.6	Welcome to the busted open podcast. This is Dave LaGracca. Today's episode myself,
0:18.9	fully ray and Tommy Dreamer talk about being a draw in pro wrestling. Who's the biggest draw
0:24.7	right now or ever in AEW and we talked to one of the biggest draws when it came to the NWA
0:32.6	and Jim Crockett promotions and that's Magnum TA. He does a bit of a master's class with our
0:38.8	masters of the ring today on the busted open podcast. And Tommy let me ask you straight up
0:46.6	CM Punk the biggest draw in AEW history. He did move some tickets and he did move

1:57.6	How many million dollar houses has AEW drawn on pay-per-views premium live events without CM Punk on it?
2:09.9	I don't think and again Paul and Andre could look this up. I believe the first million dollar house
2:17.4	was with CM Punk. So he's he moved the the most real number in pro wrestling. And I believe when he
2:29.2	had his his moment at that press conference didn't he say there were two million dollar houses
2:35.6	that he drew? Well because the the one obviously that night. Okay fair enough. Before he burned
