Fit Finlay AKA as Dave Finlay has worked all over the world. We talk to him about his start in the business over in England and what it was like to be the son of a famous pro wrestler.

Dave talks about the power of the NWO stars and what he really thought of Kevin Nash as he has a great Nash story. What about Hogan and Flair and even Vince Russo.
The interview would not be complete if we did not talk all about his WWE run from 2001 until 2011. We talk about all of his major matches with Bobby Lashley, Matt Hardy, RVD, Chris Benoit, Rey jr and so many more. The list is too long to write all of the names that he talked about because he worked with them all, but we talk about every one of them!!

Dave also worked as a WWE road agent and we talk all about the behind the scene stories of what really went on with the Divas. Who did he think had the “it” factor. Who gave him problems and who did he think would make it to the next level. We talk about his duties on the road and what lead to him getting fired by Johnny Ace of the WWE and how it all went down.
