Bashir says that TNA makes their money from television revenue. At least, that is what he was told from his twenty bosses he had in TNA. Bashir makes very good points about WWE and UFC making money off PPV’s and not television while TNA is the opposite.
Bashir says that Dixie Carter messed up her lines for the speech, and that she had to do several takes. Bashir puts Carter over as being a “team player”.
Jack asks about Jim Cornette and says that he gets along with Cornette. Bashir feels that Cornette is a good fit for Ring of Honor. Bashir puts over Cornette’s attention to detail. Bashir believes that Tyler Black will do well as the ROH champion.
Jack mentions Bashir’s website at shawndaivari.com.
Bashir says that he is not opposed to returning to the WWE. Bashir says that he doesn’t hold grudges and tries to be a professional. Bashir mentions how Goldust had gone from TNA to WWE about ten times because wrestling is a “revolving door”.
Bashir says there aren’t as many places to wrestle nowadays that are top tier companies. Bashir counts nine companies, in his early career, that could over exposure and experience. Before TNA got on Spike TV their was only one place and that was WWE.
Bashir says that back in the WCW/WWF wars that when they got fired people would call begging to work for their promotion, but nowadays no one will call them and they will do a factory job instead.
A caller asks Bashir how wrestling school was for him. Bashir says that you learn how to wrestle by competing in matches. Bashir says you don’t learn anything in school, but rather learn everything in matches. “You can’t learn in front of empty people.”
Bashir says he learned a lot from Mr. Anderson (Kennedy) and they helped each other. They both had each others back to get each other in WWE and TNA respectively.
