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!


Quote I'm thinking about: "Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced." — James Baldwin
