Sir Adam sent in the following:

Since it's almost Thanksgiving time, we know it gets real boring at home with
your family, so GIR Radio is providing all wrestling fans with much needed
entertainment to pass the time. 3 separate transcripts will be released over
the next few hours so everyone has plenty of reading material. This first one
details WWE rising star, Mark Jindrak's interview with Sir Adam and The Phantom
last week as he called in from backstage at Survivor Series..

Next transcript will be the Kurt Angle spectacular from last night, and the
final one will be a hilarious interview with Ken Shamrock where he details how
it felt to be dating his "sister" in the WWE!!

GIR Radio keeps on trucking after 10 glorious years of radio excellence..Sundays
@ 7pm ET 540 AM WLIE in NY/NJ and live at http://www.getinthering.tv in glorious real
audio format.


-Jindrak joins GIR and confirms that Steve Austin grilled both he and Garrison
Cade looking for nicknames. He actually assigned "homework" to the two young

wrestlers, to come up with 10 nicknames so they could be more marketable.
Jindrak said he came up with nothing great and even said one of the nicknames he
came up with was "Air" Jindrak. Sir Adam and Phantom agrees with Mark that
would be a cheesy nickname. Phantom says that Garrison and Mark should be
dubbed "The Opportunists" because that's where their characters are going. Mark
seemed to like the idea, to which Sir Adam says that he'd better remember GIR
when he hits it big time.

-Jindrak feels that he's been given great TV time on RAW but agrees with Austin
that they should be given more promo time to help develop a connection to the
audience. Mark feels like the crowd finally got behind them when they stole the
$100,000 from Randy Orton, and looks forward to getting involved in more angles
to help define his team to viewers. Jindrak feels like he isn't a babyface, and
isn't a heel, Mark says he and Garrison are exact opposites. While Mark likes

Hip-Hop, Garrison like classic rock, Mark is single and picks up on girls with
Randy Orton after the matches, and Garrison has a wife and kid. He thinks
that's another way they could go storyline wise by presenting them as an
"Odd-Couple" tag team. Mark puts over Cade's in ring work and says they mesh
very well as a team.

-Talk turns to how Jindrak and Randy Orton played a prank on internet wrestling
fans. He details a war of words going back and forth between the two on their
respective websites. Mark posted that Randy "can't treat his friends the way he
treats his fans." And then made a comment about all "his little girl-fans" to
which Orton responded. This got the internet community talking and Orton and
Jindrak felt that they could go even farther with this fake feud. The basis of
this "feud" was that "wrestling fans will believe anything", after the RAW in
Boston Orton and Jindrak started a fake physical fight at Kowloons restaurant.

They got the Boston policemen involved as they separated the two of them, "to
tell you the truth my adrenaline started rushing, it felt so real. People were
really in shock, they were taking pictures. What gave it away was the cops
started laughing a little." Sir Adam gives Mark another idea using the MTV
Punk'd show as a model that Garrison and Jindrak should be practical jokers.
GIR Radio gives two solid ideas to Jindrak! Jindrak continues the story saying
that outside of Kowloons people seemed to be shocked at Jindrak and Orton were
screaming at each other. Maven pulled his car around and Mark got in as the
police "escorted" Orton away. Just as Mark was talking to Maven saying "I think
they bought it" Randy grabs Mark threw the window and the "brawl" started up
again. "It was perfect.Maven was great he walked over to Orton and screamed at
Randy 'Mark's your friend man!' and they started going at it, it turned into a
three stooges thing after a while. It was wild".


-Mark talks about how he got upset with internet rumors when he was supposed to
join Evolution. He confirms that he was supposed to be the 4th guy, and even
filmed the music video walking over a steep hill with Ric Flair, HHH, and Orton.
"It was a done deal last time we were in Dallas, and then a week later at MSG...
It was the basis of the entire show, 'Who's the next member' they were taking
polls on wwe.com.I know I'm not on the level of Kane or Jericho who the fans
were picking. Then the internet says the WWE wasn't happy with my house show
performances, that's garbage. Everyone of my house show matches were solid,
especially the Jericho match in Montreal..sometimes plans change, Vince called
me in his office, in MSG, and said 'we decided we are not going to put you in.
You have it, but we want you to start out as a babyface. I think that would be
best for you. I just don't think it would be good to put you in

Evolution right now.' That gave me allot of confidence because he's Vince
McMahon it's his company he didn't have to explain it to me like he did." Mark
goes on to say that the WWE wants to bring him along slowly in a tag team, "not
shove me down people's throats..In basketball, in weightlifting I've always been
a late bloomer." Jindrak is happy the way things turned out.

-Jindrak says it was frustrating when he came from the WCW and had to start over
again in the WWE and prove himself in OVW, but he has watched tapes of his
matches in WCW , "I'll never knock Vince Russo for giving me the opportunity and
I know allot of people hate him, I'll never knock him. But I wasn't ready when
they handed me the ball."

-Jindrak says that every veteran in the WWE locker room respects younger guys
when they put on a good match. And if the young guys ask the Flairs, HHHs,
Austins for advice they always give it to them. GIR talks about how no matter

how old Flair gets he probably still can party alongside Mark and Randy Orton,
Jindrak laughs and says that Ric always helps the younger guys with introducing
them to lovely ladies in every town they roll into. "He'll have 5 or 6 girls
lined up just for us to meet.one week we were in Columbia SC and he said 'you
guys better be here' he hooks us up."

-Mark likes the live feel of RAW over Smackdown, "I always liked NITRO because
it was the live show. Monday night is the wrestling night going back to the
wrestling wars."

-On his former "Coach" Kevin Nash, Mark talked to him a few days prior and says
his "throat was scratchy it was hard for him to talk. He thought the surgery
wasn't going to be as major as it was, he felt real rough afterwards." Jindrak
isn't sure if Nash will ever return to the ring, but knows he keeps up with what
is going on and offers Mark pointers on his segments.
