- Say it ain’t so…
I’ve been listening to Busted Open for about 10 years… unfortunately I can’t listen anymore. Dave has been the voice of pro wrestling for over a decade. Dave and the whole crew has taught me so much about the art and world of pro wrestling. I don’t even know if it was Daves call, or if it was out of his hands… either way, it’s very sad to see the end of an era. WWE radio is not what I fell in love with. Thanks for all the memories. Best of luck in your future endeavors…

Busted Open used to be good, but after WWE took over what a sham!!! Dave and the crew used to review all promotions, but to put all your eggs in the WWE basket, is not “Good for Business.” Did you not watch All In?
That’s wrestling!!

Horrible listen. Went from ok to horrific. Don’t waste your time listening. There are 100 podcasts that you are better off listening to. Bye-bye
busted open. I no longer follow or listen.

Loved hearing a non-biased opinion on all companies of wrestling. But with Dave selling out to WWE I can no longer listen to Busted Open.
Opinions are biased towards WWE and TNA. No other companies are covered in conversations.
I don’t have time to watch wrestling so it was nice getting a 1/2 recap on what happened recently but I’ll be listening to a different wrestling podcast now.

I don’t care that much that they are now owned by WWE, but that doesn’t mean they have to constantly shill for TKO. For example, SummerSlam 2026 was not the greatest SummerSlam ever, no matter what Stamford says.
