  • Bully

    I like Bully. But the constant “they are listening to us” nonsense is nonsense. As if nobody else was saying cena should have lost for the exact same reasons. Needs to get over himself at times.

    Census last match was garbage but looks like that WWE money is too good to pass up. U have a platform but choose to bow down to your masters.

    This show is getting almost unbearable to listen to. Between the audio issues/screaming into the microphone and Labar constantly clearing his throat and coughing

  • Epic Raw?

    There was nothing epic about last night. I appreciate Tommy’s optimism, but there’s nothing you can say to justify that this was good in anyway

  • Love the condensed version

    I love the short condensed versions of Busted Open. I listen to a lot of pods and some are just way too long. This is just right for me. I just figured out Bishop is as a wrestler if they mentioned who he was in the WWE I must have missed it. Bully is as much of a straight shooter as there is on wrestling podcast. Nic Nemeth does great job to.

    I also love that Denise stood up for her beliefs in regards to WWE going to Saudia Arabia in a back and forth with Mark Henry.
