- Joe E Legend joins The Phantom & Sir Adam on the show. The conversation begins with talk on Joe E Legends controversial site (www.legendwrestling.com). Joe says he wrote columns for 1wrestling, but Bob Ryder pulled it from the site. Joe makes some derogatory remarks about Ryder.
- Jeff Jarrett asked Joe to come to TNA after working together on a WWA show, Joe says his biggest mistake was getting over and his mic time was cut. Joe would love Jarrett to 'take a poke at me' and to 'kick the crap' out of Jeff. Eventually he expects to do a show together and give Jeff a smack.
- Adam asks what wrestlers, other than Joe, that TNA have blown it with. Joe puts Christopher Daniels over. Phantom asks if Joe enjoyed his TNA run to begin with, Joe was fired up to headline the PPV with Jeff, but his subsequent program with D Lo Brown was squashed when D Lo went to All Japan.
- Phantom brings up Dutch Mantel. Joe worked for Dutch in Puerto Rico, he knew how to book the Puerto Rico territory but he never got over big himself. He loves whoever praises him, but buries those who don't. He hates the X-division guys and told Joe that. Joe goes on to make some derogatory remarks about Mantel. If X-division guys can't get over because of their size, why did Shawn Michaels draw money and Kevin Nash didn't?
- Joe confirms that TNA had a meeting about him, but couldn't sue, because everything he said he felt was true. Joe said he had to carry Jarrett through matches and talk him through. He wishes he could take credit for getting Jeff taken off the booking committee and mentions the weekly buys went down from 15,000 to 7,000 under him.
- Joe feels that Dusty Rhodes hasn't the greatest track record, but he likes him. At least he can bring personality to the show, especially the X-division. It was a mistake to bring in Kevin Nash, but he got on well with Scott Hall, despite Bret Hart warning otherwise. The pay that the Outsiders are getting just doesn't balance.
- Joe says that Indie promotions can't draw Nashville anymore after all the free TNA tickets and calls Jeff a 'cancer on top' of every company he's worked for. TNA haven't made any home-made stars and had to bring in Nash, Hall and Savage for the PPV, which is all down to bad booking.
- Phantom brings up Edge putting Joe over in his new book. Joe wishes Edge the best in the world but is jealous of his push. Adam asks about the European wrestling scene, Joe says it is better for regularity of work. An Italian promoter recently drew 8,000 with Rikishi on top.
- Joe worked with Dallas Page in Switzerland with Joe trying his best to push Page over the edge. Joe received a couple of dirty looks but Dallas remained Positively Page throughout.
- Phantom talks about Bradshaw's hazing in the WWE and him soaping a wrestler's butt in the shower. Joe has no respect for Bradshaw professionally or personally, and 'if he tried it on him...' Joe had a friend sacked from WWE and said Bradshaw was behind it.
- Asked about other examples of hazing, Joe tells of a WWE personality being told to move from first class to the back of a plane by The Undertaker, with Undertaker taking his seat.
- Joe says he is a lousy politician before ripping on Brian Christopher. Out of his friends, Edge is an excellent politician, Christian is one of the funniest people in the world, thus charming, Rhyno is just a great guy.
- The GIR team talk about the WWE dress-code, Joe says it's almost like a cult with them all dressing the same. If anything he feels the dress-code should be the wrestler's merchandise.
- Phantom asks about HHH. While Joe worked as Just Joe in the WWE, HHH sat in on meetings and was disliked for it. He says he should bring himself off TV and let the product rebuild.
- Joe would want a lot more creative control to return to the WWE. Shane McMahon and HHH used to pat him on the back with one hand, and hold a knife in the other.
- Legend likes both Flair and Hart and doesn't take sides in the debate. He can't say who was the better wrestler as Flair worked the long matches in the eighties, while Hart had to carry Jim Niedhart.
- Other wrestlers Joe shoots on include Brutus Beefcake, Gangrel and Greg Valentine and puts over the Sabu benefit show, but with respect to Sabu would only 'parking-lot' Double J if he showed up.
