The hosts start taking calls and the caller asks what it was like to work with Kurt Angle and what his thoughts are on him going to TNA. Thomas says that although he never worked in the ring with Kurt in WWE he said Kurt was a big help backstage and with in-ring advice but he is hoping to work with him in the future and as far as Angle going to TNA is concerned he is glad that it has people talking about TNA and the possibilities of fresh match ups like AJ or Samoa Joe vs. Kurt Angle are very appealing. When asked if he has had any discussions with TNA, Antonio says there have been conversations between the two and says to stay tuned to see the Heartthrobs might just pop up in TNA sometime down the road.

The discussion turns to his partnership with Romeo Roselli and how long they have been tagging together.

Green, Antonio says, ?If it wasn?t for Jim Cornette there wouldn?t have been the ?Heartthrobs?.

When asked if he prefers working ?Face? or ?Heel? he says ?face? when he?s wrestling in singles and ?Heel? when he works in tag teams.

Some of the tag teams he would like to work with are LAX, Daniels & Styles, London & Kendrick, and The Briscoe Brothers.

When asked what made him become a fan of pro wrestling before he entered the sport? He said he was an avid follower of Hulkamania and that Ricky Steamboat and Brian Pillman were the wrestlers that influenced him to become one himself.
