Romeo Roselli was this week’s featured guest. They begin the interview by firstly discussing Doc’s injury, which he sustained after taking "a bump" from Romeo on the show Wrestling Weekly promoted. Romeo and Les tease Doc by calling him "a big baby". Doc starts to cry. (EDITOR'S NOTE: Ok, he didn't cry, but it would've been funny if he had.)

Romeo then talks about returning to the USA from Italy, where he had two tours - one in November and the other in February. Roselli mentions his relatives were born in Italy and he has a strong Italian heritage. Les asks because of Romeo’s heritage, was he a babyface over in Italy. Roselli replies he was a ‘face and wouldn’t have wanted to be a heel there. Doc asks Romeo about playing a Mafia type character. Romeo Roselli highlights that he did something similar in 2001, where he worked for Nova‘s brother in Phoenix Championship Wrestling. The character was based upon the Soprano’s. Les and Romeo then discuss Nova’s brother, who Roselli states is now a full time police officer.

Les asks Romeo about appearing at TNA’s Destination X. He replies by saying pay-per-view is a big stage to be on and it was exciting. Roselli goes on to mention wrestling the James Gang and recalls watching them as a fan, where they wrestled for WWE as the New Age Outlaws. Romeo continues by highlighting it was a good experience and he’s wrestled for the two biggest companies of his era. Les asks about Romeo Roselli’s modelling career and Roselli notes he’s still doing a little bit, but he‘s busy with wrestling. Romeo is then asked about working with his tag partner and mentions that they have wrestled together on the independents and they’ve also worked as singles. He notes that himself and Antonio “talk all the time, every day…“ and that they still tag fairly consistently on the independents. Romeo Roselli is then asked about how his match at ‘Destination X’ went and he notes it was fun to do and wrestled against in his words, “arguably one of the greatest tag teams of the decade“.

Roselli is asked about working BG James and he states that BG and Kip were great to work with. Doc asks if he was nervous before a big match and Romeo replies, now he’s at a point where it’s more exciting. Romeo is then asked to tell a story about being on ’Pants Off, Dance Off’ on Fuse TV. Roselli says that he didn’t know that many people watched it and still is being told by people that they’ve seen it. Romeo concludes on the show by saying it’s something he would laugh at and doesn’t have any remorse about. Joey Numbers, host for ’The Whole Effin Show’ in the chat room asks if it’s more challenging for Romeo to work singles or tag. Roselli replies by saying that both are really fun and it’s harder to put a tag match together as you have three other guys to work with, who all have to be on the same page.

Doc asks Romeo Roselli if he liked the Chippendale style gimmick which himself and Antonio had in WWE. Romeo states that there was high hopes, it was started by Jim Cornette in OVW and “was one of the hottest things OVW had ever had". Roselli is asked if he misses his manager, Mo Green from OVW and he highlights he does, although they still keep in contact. Romeo notes that they weren’t given a chance to work on house shows first and didn’t do dark matches, which he continues hurt them because they had only teamed together for a few months. Roselli highlights that they were babyfaces in OVW and got called up to WWE as heels. Les asks (for Doc) what it was like standing next to Christy Hemme. Romeo says that Christy is a beautiful, attractive woman. Les asks when he’ll be going back to Italy and Romeo Roselli says he’s defending the title in England as N.W.E and 1PW are joining forces for a big show there in April. Romeo continues by saying he’ll be going to Italy in June. This, he notes will cover England, Spain, Italy and possibly Australia.

Doc asks Romeo Roselli the differences between the fans in Italy and those in the United States. Roselli says that N.W.E is definitely for the kids and says it‘s more comforting to know the fans will be in to it. Romeo is then thanked by Doc and Les for being a guest.
