Last year was the first year, or 2020, this year was the first year that they had to open up more seats day of, and that was for the first night and then I think there\u2019s a bit of a habit. \u2018Oh, January 4th is Wrestle Kingdom\u2019 so the attendance day two was a little less, but you have one setup, one tear down, and you probably negotiate a little better deal on the building getting it for two nights opposed to one. So I would think that Wrestle Kingdom 2020, Wrestle Kingdom 14 was the most profitable one of all-time by far.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>The Steve Austin and Brian Pillman storyline that saw Austin invade Pillman\u2019s home on Raw:<\/b> &#8220;It was nerve racking. It was very, it was unsettling because you had Brian Pillman in his house who had legitimately just undergone major surgery on his ankle for the second time and he was a \u2014 he just had a weird look in his eye the whole day. It was just very odd and it was kind of call it as we go along. There wasn\u2019t a lot of prep or preparation. I did my one standup that was outside which was pre-recorded only slightly before Raw went on the air and the rest of it was live, live pal. So, man, and when we got done, it was such a rush, such a relief. My gosh, we did this. We just did satellite broadcasting live from Brian Pillman\u2019s house and holy crap, I\u2019m sure the world is going crazy about that. We weren\u2019t on smart phones back then. We didn\u2019t have Twitter so we couldn\u2019t see like instant audience reaction but when we got back to Stamford, apparently there were a lot of people \u2014 but everybody was talking about it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There was some television executives at USA [Network] that weren\u2019t happy. By the way, brandishing a gun on live television, not good, and internationally it was a nightmare because our television partners had different laws, different rules and internationally, everything had to be so covered up that they couldn\u2019t really air any of it. It was hard for them to put together the international version of Raw. But again, it\u2019s one of those things that I realized how monumental it was because here we are, so many years removed and people are still talking to me about it. It\u2019s like wow, what a moment in time that you don\u2019t realize at the time will be. You\u2019re just kind of hopeful to get through it all and not screw up and yet so many years later, people remember it like one of their earliest memories from their fandom was like, \u2018Oh my God, when Brian Pillman had the gun and Steve Austin was breaking into his house and you\u2019re screaming\u2019 and I\u2019m like, \u2018Yeah, it was real.\u2019 Real gun, real everything. Real emotion, real reaction. You get that type of atmosphere, you\u2019re going to get memorable television every time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>On coming up with the idea of Triple H blowing up the relationship between Stephanie McMahon and Test:<\/b> &#8220;I\u2019m responsible for the relationship between Triple H and Stephanie. That\u2019s what I\u2019m responsible for, because I came up with the idea along with my wife. My wife is partly responsible. We\u2019re both big soap opera fans and so the idea of Triple H bamboozling Test [Andrew Martin] and marrying Stephanie to screw over Test and also to piss off his future father-in-law is soap opera 101 and again, the similarities between the two with their hair down would be easy to do so I wrote this whole big thing up and sent it in. Vince [McMahon] copied everybody like I\u2019m supposed to and Vince was the first one to write back all in caps, \u2018That\u2019s great shit.\u2019 It\u2019s like wow and then Shane McMahon came down the hall and poked his head in my door and said, \u2018Dude, that idea is crazy. I love it\u2019 and then end up changing it how they needed to and that\u2019s what it was so it was pretty cool to see. It\u2019s cool when you see an idea that you have come to life. I, of course, wrote the end where Stephanie winds up leaving Triple H but also leaving her father and becoming this strong, standalone woman. They wound up falling in love and have children and have been married ever since so, they didn\u2019t follow the script as it were. They wrote their own ending, a happy ending I\u2019m sure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>AEW staff member Billy Gunn putting in the word for him:<\/b> &#8220;Well, I\u2019ll give you the Reader\u2019s Digest version because it\u2019s a pretty long story, but I had a friendship with Billy Gunn going back to our days in Florida, and I had asked Billy if they were ever looking for a local ring announcer for any of the Florida events, keep me in mind. Okay, then flash forward, he brought my name up and Bruce Prichard said, \u2018Oh I\u2019ve been looking for him because Vince [McMahon] wants to step away from the microphone so they wanna hire another announcer\u2019 and I got the call, I got an audition and I got offered the job. I had to move to Connecticut and wound up spending seven years in WWE. It was a great experience, I learned a lot but it\u2019s the relationships that you make. It certainly didn\u2019t hurt and I think I was the top choice out of everybody because it was pretty much, I think they had a lot of different people in and out that were from different sports or different genres of entertainment. If you wanna hire a wrestling play-by-play guy, I think they need to know something about wrestling so I probably had a little of that going for me and you know, didn\u2019t aggravate anybody while I was there, at least not at first and then, so that was how it all got started, but it was because of my good friend Billy Gunn, who I must always thank, contractually \u2014 I mean because he\u2019s my friend.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i>Other topics include working for Vince McMahon, his time in WWF, Jim Ross, Pat Patterson, The Undertaker, ROH, NJPW, and more.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>You can listen to other shows
