Busted Open: The Master's Class

The Masters Bully Ray, Mark Henry and Tommy Dreamer sit down to discuss the stars of pro wrestling's past that never had the chance to be the face of the company when they had what it took to do it.

The Masters sat down with a WWE Hall of Famer and WrestleMania Main Eventer Sgt Slaughter, who has some unbelievable tales he's never told, including the time he met Mickie Mantle, or rather, Mickie Mantle met him.

We’ve come across some really terrible people in our lives, but as Dave LaGreca, Mark Henry and Tommy Dreamer have discovered, these people we will discuss have taken the cake. Posing as good characters in real life, the superstars in wrestling we’re covering were all devils in disguise.

Dave & Tommy discuss a topic that is near and dear to their hearts: The Death of ECW. If it never happened, what would be the ramifications on the wrestling industry? They would very likely be… Extreme.

Dave and Bully have an absolutely epic interview with one of the great babyfaces in wrestling history in Terry Taylor. Terry tells amazing stories about his territory days, working with NXT, and of course the full behind the scenes on how the infamous "Red Rooster" character was created.

In another edition of The Master’s Class “What If”, Dave, Bully, Mark, and Tommy ask – What if AJ Styles never left TNA?

All of our Master’s have had one or two pieces of advice that have helped carry them to Hall of Fame careers. Now, Bully Ray, Tommy Dreamer, Mark Henry & Nic Nemeth share what they’ve learned throughout the years that they can pass down to the next generation who could stand to use it.

Dave and our guys Mark and Tommy talk about their favorite memories both as fans and participants in the most popular match in all of pro wrestling: The Royal Rumble. The guys give the inside scoop on some behind the scenes stories on this epic event and some tales they have never told.

In 2001, WWF bought WCW, and with it, their biggest stars. Some debuted immediately (Booker T, DDP), and some years later (Nash, Hall, Hogan, etc.). But arguably their most iconic performer – Sting – stayed away for over a decade, before making a surprise debut in WWE at Survivor Series 2014. In the first edition of The Master’s Class “What If”, Dave, Bully, Mark, and Tommy ask – What if Sting joined WWF in 2001?

On this special interview, Dave and Nic Nemeth talked to Jumpin’ Jim Brunzell of the Legendary Killer Bees, one of the best tag teams of the 80s. Jim tells the guys what life was like working for Vince McMahon in the 80s, with some stories you’ve probably never heard before. Plus, he describes what made him and his partner B. Brian Blair such a special team.

Dave LaGreca and Nic Nemeth sit down with the biggest name in podcast interviews today, Chris Van Vliet to find out about the best ways to get the most out of an interview.

We'll find out to make a guest feel comfortable and get the best possible answers that make an interview unforgettable.

Dave and Bully have a special interview with one of the greatest names in professional wrestling, Magnum TA. Magnum will tell amazing stories about his excellent but unfinished career including his time with Tully Blanchard in the infamous “I Quit” match from Starrcade 1985. He has incredible psychology that was perfect for the time and would be even better for today as he shares in this excellent interview.

Dave and Tommy speak to one of the great Intercontinental Champions of all-time in “The Magnificent” Don Muraco. He’ll take you inside his storied career including one of the most infamous moments in wrestling history; the night Jimmy Snuka splashed him from on top of the cage in Madison Square Garden on a night that will be remembered forever.
