TEDDY HART DISCUSSES WHY SHAWN MICHAELS IS THE BEST OF ALL TIME, WANTING TO REVIVE STAMPEDE, DOGS INTERFERING IN MATCHES AND MORE

The Programme w/ Matt and Ben on www.CSTCnetwork.com had an exclusive interview with one of the most controversial names in the world of pro wrestling, Teddy Hart! This hour long chat runs the gamete of emotions as hosts Matt & Ben find out what Teddy's life has been like as of late. From the ins and outs of the ring, to recreating Stampede Wrestling in Canada, wrestling for AAA in Mexico, to his upcoming match against Colt Cabana & Matt Hardy at Pro Wrestling Syndicate on May 4th and everywhere in between, Teddy Hart let's us in on what he's doing with his life, and its certainly an incredible story.

On the revival of Stampede Wrestling he is developing:

“Konnan is a big reason behind that. Because he was a part of Stampede at it's pinnacle as a feeder system for New Japan, WWE.... But, when he saw the state of Wrestling in Alberta... 3 years ago. He was quite appalled. Because Bret due to his stroke and due to other ailments has not been able to promote or do anything for Alberta Wrestling.... So, Konnan stepped up and let me use his name and the AAA name which is the second largest wrestling company on the earth right now. That draws live crowds and doesn't pay studio audience crowds to come in and watch... Not disrespecting TNA, but that's not a real show when you gotta pay the audience or the audience doesn't pay to watch.... But AAA they provided a really good opportunity for me and Jack to showcase our skill but no one got to see it in Canada. So the people in Canada were sort of curious to create a feeder system between Stampede Wrestling... by bringing it back... Next Generation Stampeded Wrestling we'd be taking talent from AAA, possibly TNA if they'd like to work with us, Ring of Honor and the guys from Canada... There is an open draft for anyone in Canada if they'd like to try out. But Konnan got the idea to get inspired that you can bring wrestling back to Alberta. If Mexico can still do these big indy shows... and are constantly drawing 3-5,000 people for house shows that wrestling is not dead, that it just needs to be changed.”

On new ways to entertain fans: “I don't care if you think it's stupid. But I think it would be (Expletive) cool to have a German Sheppard on a dog whistle ran out and pull out the referees leg before I had the 3 count done... There is a lot of room in Wrestling for cool (Expletive) to happen. I just want to be the one to help it happen..”

Why Shawn Michaels is the best of all time: “He was the only guy who evolved or innovated. Everyone else stuck with the same moveset. How many guys do you know who in their career who learned the moonsault off the top ater just doing a crossbody?”

Do moves matter more then story? "Of course moves mean something. But if moves are done with the wrong context where they guys not selling... then the moves don't mean (expletive). Then a lot of times moves kill wrestling. I don't want to be the guy insulting who do a lot of highspots... You call me a spot monkey for christ's sake. But I truly think that as long as you've done the right story and the spots are done correctly with the timing. It's the combination of both.”

Teddy also discusses the would be plans for H2 Wrestling, with ideas so interesting you have to hear them to actually believe them. He also reconnects and opens up with a former friend and have an in-depth discussion and rekindling live on the show.
