Oh you didn't know?! Road Dogg (@BrianRDJames) is a retired professional wrestler and WWE Hall of Famer. He sits down with Chris Van Vliet in Indianapolis to discuss his WWE and TNA careers as a wrestler, what his role is now behind the scenes in WWE, the biggest differences between The Attitude Era and the current era, being a part of D-Generation X and invading WCW with a tank, the dumpster segment with Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie, his partnership with K-Kwik [R-Truth], why he thought CM Punk hated him, his battles with addiction, being the head writer of SmackDown, the storyline he pushed that never went through and more!
