A listener question for that show: to what extent do you think the opening 10-15 minutes of the cage match in which Shawn appears to be taking liberties is justified?

 

This was a massive talking point during the AWA set stuff. I can't remember the sides, but I think Matt D was against the match and Will was for it. I was somewhere in the middle, I think with Dylan.

You've got to admire Marty's commitment to getting "whoomp there it is" over. He's like a young DDP with his "good God!"

 

With a tear in my eye, that is kindest compliment I have ever heard. Being compared to 40 year old DDP was my life dream!

Seriously though, if it was over at 1993 Center Stage, then it over in the 2015 Den of Sleeze.

 

I never discuss with Kelly that I am going to do that and there is always a month in between shows so I actually have no idea if he knows it is coming, but he always handles it like a pro.
