X-Pac welcomes Austin Aries to the show.
Aries says he had a great time performing in his hometown for a recent House of Hardcore show. The show had a good turnout and he thought the wrestlers put together a great night of action. He also mentions that the show drew nearly 500,000 views on Twitch which was a huge increase from the 160,000 views they had on the last show.
X-Pac asks Aries about the terrible ring they worked in during their recent tour of Australia. The promo that Aries cut after the match in which he criticized the ring ultimately garnered him a lot of attention online. He says that the ring didn’t have canvas on it which made it very slippery to work in. The padding was also uneven in the ring and some parts of the ring didn’t even have padding, resulting in him busting his eye open at one point.
He admits to being very upset when he was cutting that promo after the match and he thanks X-Pac for cluing up the segment after he stormed off to the backstage area. He says that a lot of the local talents thanked him after the fact for saying a lot of the things that they’d been thinking for quite some time.
