Yo, what's going on, Busted Open Nation, and thanks for tuning in to the Busted Open Podcast. Today, the Motley 2 return, Uncle Bully, Nick Nemeth, talking about the world of pro wrestling, more specifically, everything going down in TNA. Can't wait to get Nick's opinion and thoughts on it. Also, in the world of AEW, Dynamite, Swerve Strickland, and Will Ospreay, face-to-face, passion, energy. We'll break it down right here on the Busted Open Podcast. This is the Busted Open Podcast. Yesterday, Dreamer comes on towards the end of the show. He lets the nation and the wrestling world know that Tommy Dreamer and TNA Wrestling have mutually agreed to part ways. Tommy is no longer a part of TNA in any way, shape, or form, not as a wrestler, not as a part of the creative team, yada, yada.

We also, during this week, heard about Tessa Blanchard asking for her release. Yesterday, Sammy Callahan announced that he was no longer with the company. I don't know if that was Sammy asking for his release or he was let go. Big picture here. And I don't want to ask you anything specifically, not because I don't want to put you on the spot. I just want to get your feelings, your emotions, your thoughts. 30,000 feet, the floor is yours.
Nick Nemeth 1:28
So, first and foremost, to the Tommy stuff, I'm biased because before Busted Open, before TNA, Tommy and I are friends in real life. So, I'm very biased, but I was just thinking, I go, man, there's so many of us that come together and I'm friends with people because we love pro wrestling so much and... I have to say, I pride myself on loving pro wrestling, and I pale in comparison when it comes to Tommy. So that's the starting piece. But just the perfect vessel for being an ambassador in relations to pro wrestling and the outside world and behind the scenes and so many different things, and helped me out when he was in the talent relations aspect of WWE, as a friend, as a co-worker, all these different things.
Nick Nemeth 2:14
So he really... in this weird world fits in so many different positions in the pro wrestling world that he can benefit any show or company with. So that being said, I don't know what the situation is. What about me? I got a title match coming up. What the hell does that mean for me? Uh, I don't exactly know, but what, what I do, what I can give, man, I like that. I don't have inside business stuff. I just happen to know everybody at work. So I think for the most part, I think morale has, when we got building together to get that TV deal was, it couldn't be any higher. And then as we move on, it's got to drop down just a little bit. And then it's like, Oh, it was like, man, some people are leaving. What are we doing?
Nick Nemeth 2:55
I don't know exactly what's going on. And when you hear something at work, I don't want to hear something second and third hand and then apply it to someone and apply it to the office to where I'm hating two different people without even knowing a story.

How do Bully Ray and Nic Nemeth feel about Tommy Dreamer's departure?

Nick Nemeth 3:06
So I'm going to get the scoop on what's happening now in two weeks at the pay-per-view. But most importantly, I really think... the locker room is such a huge aspect. It's what got me to sign on to TNA. And I thought we were in a really good place, but I think the last couple of months, it's been a little weird backstage. It's been different. And I don't exactly know why, and I can't put my finger on it. So the influence that Tommy's had on our show, on creative, on years of TV, like I've only been there two and a half years. He was, he's been there a decade back and forth doing so many different roles. And I, So many of us pride ourselves like I could be the opening match and steal the show. I could go out there at the main event.
Nick Nemeth 3:46
I could be the one that sends everyone to intermission happy. We all pride ourselves on that. I don't think I could do any of those other roles that you don't see behind the scenes where everybody in the entire company and any independent wrestler is probably texting and calling you every single day. Because that's what you think you're supposed to do to get ahead.
