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 Sirius XM, Fight Nation Channel 156. Welcome to the Busted
0:14.6	Open podcast. This is Dave LaGrecca. On today's episode, bully and I talk about GCW homecoming
0:23.1	this past week and that's right. WWE Hall, Famer TNA, Hall, Famer, and the greatest
0:28.7	tag team wrestler of all time, Bully Ray. Talk about the championship matchup against
0:33.7	Nick Gage, your champion, and now new champion, Matt Cardona. Nobody could believe it, but
