This week on the Pain Clinic the newest wrestling reality stars from the Learning Channel's show "The Bussey Bunch" Chris and Thomas Bussey joined us.
We start of by talking about the size of their family and everyone's involvement with the show as well as PCW. They tell us about how the "reality show" got started. The were contestants on an MTV dating show called Room Raiders that was wrestling based.
The show debuted this past week and they said they are getting a positive response from people. People enjoy the struggles of running a fed. Their first episode showed how the boys were trying to build an audience and they talked about how that works.
They think the show's inside appeal will draw the fans. PCW runs every Saturday night and they talk about state federal regulations in Texas to run a wrestling show.
We talk about how wrestling has been very destructive to families in the past and the guys talk about how each member deals with the business. We asked about their dad (Mike) and his character, they talk about how they are portrayed on the show and how real they are.
Both Chris and Thomas are booking PCW and they are asked on their booking influence on their shows. They tried to do a "extreme" match on their first show on TLC and they discuss what they like. The talk about incorporating a little old school, a little extreme, a little T&A, a little comedy and traditional old school wrestling.
This weeks show is the first since the reality show debut on TLC. The guys are excited to see if it affects the crowd. Next they preview the rest of the season for "The Bussey Bunch". A few familiar names wrestle for them on the show and they expose their PCW stars too. The show is still in production so we begged to get on it.
We suggest a crossover TLC's "Little People Big World" and "The Bussey Bunch"
They are up for it!
