-Jeremy Borash and SoCal Val open this Q&A session and welcome TNA Knockout Velvet Sky, who is celebrating a birthday. They show footage of J.B. and Velvet’s trip to the firing range earlier in the day.

-Chris Daniels and Kazarian are in attendance, drinking a few beers. They run footage of the Bad Influence tag team match scheduled for Slammiversary.

-The entire event was extremely laid back, with a bunch of TNA wrestlers in attendance. Bully was drinking a beer, messing around with J.B. and joking with some of the fans and wrestlers throughout the whole thing. He put over Chris Sabin, and said he was the only man to kick out of the Dudley Death Drop.

Q: Would you like to fight Hulk Hogan at Bound for Glory?
A: “At the end of the day, everyone wants to see Hulk Hogan drop that big leg one more town … I would love to fight Hulk Hogan – in his last match.”

Q: Who would you face if you could face anyone?
A: Terry Funk

-Bully attempted to do a Terry Funk impression, which wasn’t bad, and ended up making Kazarian do his Ric Flair impression.

Q: Who would you add to the Aces & Eights?
A: “There is a badass out there that hasn’t been around for awhile. He’s a bad dude that has a mean streak, and it’s Crimson.”

-There was one fan that continued to heckle Bully throughout the night, and the Champ told him he could turn the entire crowd around and get them all to physically remove him. They started chanting “kick him out” and Bully ranted at him for a moment before returning to the questions.

Q: WWE, TNA and ECW – which of the companies were the best to work for?
A: “Every single one of those companies have so many good qualities, and so many bad. The great part of ECW was you got to do whatever you wanted to do, and be whoever you wanted to be. Paul [Heyman] encouraged you to speak up and … become a better performer. When you get to WWE, that doesn’t go over so well.”

-Bully also spoke on Team 3D being the greatest tag team of all time, having sexual relations with a celebrity, and a whole lot more. He told a story about seeing a kid with a John Cena shirt, and personally giving him an Aces & Eights shirt. Bully told the crowd to stop booing John Cena, and put him over as “a guy with a lot of talent”.
