  • Too much WWE 🍆 sucking

    The WWE bias is so obvious and I can tell they fake love WWE. Loved this show at one point but lately it sucks.

  • Love the shows BUT…

    I love all of the Busted Open content BUT can we move Denise Salcedo to a non speaking role. LOL. SMH. She’s an immediate skip and I KNOW I am not the only one that gets annoyed by her cracked out, valley girl soccer mom voice with zero pro wrestling contextual knowledge pre 2015 or thereabouts. LOL. SMH.

  • 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.
