What did Dave and Bully Ray say to welcome Daria Rae on the show?
Welcome to the Busted Open Podcast. This is Dave Lagreca. On today's episode, myself and Bully Ray sit down with the newest authority figure in TNA, Daria Ray, right now. On the Busted Open Podcast. This is the Busted Open Podcast. Daria, thank you so much for the time. Appreciate you coming on.
Thanks, Dave. I appreciate that. Um, it was fun seeing the two of you the other night.
Yes. It was interesting. Hanging out speaking with you for like a half an hour the other day. We were doing what? I said it was interesting speaking with you for a
while the other day. Yeah. Yeah. We had a really good conversation. You know, you're kind of full of wisdom, no big deal. Oh Uncle Fully just helping me out. Um No,
it was great. I became an even bigger fan of you the other day.
Oh, um meeting me or my performance? Both.
How does Daria describe her debut experience and the energy of the recent TNA events?
Oh, okay. That's fair. Well thank you. Oh, okay. Oh, well thank you. I appreciate it. I never know when you're gonna be sarcastic. I'm the same way. It's like the northeast in us, I think. Technically I'm always sarcastic because every once in a while Yeah, every once in a while you can give a genuine compliment. It hurts, right?
But I think you did I think you did a great job the other night.
Thank you. I appreciate that. I had a lot of fun. I think that's kind of key, right? When you're having fun out there, I think it like can never fail.
But you know what? One of the interest one of the conversations that me and Dave were having earlier today, and you're a good person to ask because you worked at the W in WWE for a while and now you're at T and A. And you know, you mentioned the word fun and it's always important to have fun with what we're doing. To me, the lock the TNA locker room, the entire company has to go at this more with a killer instinct, the way WWE talent would look at it or WWE Creative would look at it. Like this is a big deal for TNA to now be on AMC. It's as big of a network as USA or TBS, TNT. And I don't think it can't be like, hey, we're just happy to be here anymore. It's got to be like that collective, we belong, and we're gonna go out there and give you the absolute best performance we can on.
weekly basis what was the vibe that you got being in the locker room on Thursday and Saturday?
Hunger, passion, everyone there understands the magnitude of what just happened with this T V deal. I mean TNA's been around for so long and they've done so many cool things. But in in my vantage point, this is the pinnacle of where the company has gone. And so These people, some of them, have been in the locker room for a decade or decades. waiting for this moment, waiting for their time. And so and some people newer than others, obviously like myself. But All around from top to bottom, it was like, We gotta do this. And especially after you gave your your speech, your rah rah rah speech to hype everyone up. Like I had goosebumps, I uh tears in my eyes, like. I felt it and like I said, I was there on day I I was just getting there.
So you could see the fire in everyone's eyes like we fucking built this place. Sorry, I don't know if you can curse on here. Um, but it was like we built this place. Like we've been here day in and day out, waiting for a moment just like this and we have no option but to deliver and that's And they all delivered, and so it was an incredible show. And I think Like you said, it's like that fight that you can only know when you've been through adversity.
You know, I love it in this fact that the last time we had you on, I talked about we put this one name Tibet because from here on out it's a different name. And that's the numb the name that you had in the WWA. What's funny is off the top of my head, I couldn't remember your name in the WWE. And a lot of and a lot of that has to do with how this started here in TNA. But also and and I don't mind saying it. I feel they dropped a ball with you in the WWE. They it's just like they have you and they don't know what they have and they they tip the your their toes into the water of this certain type of character and that certain type of character.
