Welcome to the Busted Open Podcast. This is Dave Lagrecca. On today's episode, myself and Bully Ray talk Monday Night Raw, especially that epic segment between the Usos and CM Punk. We got a lot to dissect right here on the Busted Open Podcast. This is the Busted Open Podcast. Say what you want about Raw last night. I thought it was a little flat for me, but throw that out the window when you get to that final segment from last night. the final segment from last night. And if you go back to our conversation Last Tuesday. Something that you said on the show, Bully, is When it's all said and done. Jay. And Jimmy Uso have to react. to how last week's show ended and what CM Punk said to Roman Reigns. And you're like, I don't care if it's in the ring, outside the ring, in the back, when they cross paths, words have to be exchanged.
And that's exactly what happened last night. Now let me ask you this, bully. Were you surprised? That being confronted by Jimmy and Jay Uso last night, that CM Punk did not apologize for what he said
last week. I'm not surprised because that's CM Punk staying true to C M Punk. Although There were about ten to fifteen thousand people in that arena. Who agreed with the Usos? They were chanting, the That Punk should apologize. I think at the end of the day, even the biggest punk fan in the world knows that you didn't have to go there. And then Punk brought up what Roman said about Dusty years ago to try to make it right. Yeah, well I said this because Roman said this about Dusty and Dusty's my best friend's dad and he was my mentor and blah blah blah. Yeah, okay, well But I was not shocked. That Punk didn't apologize. The thing about last night's segment for me Is how it made me feel. And y what do they talk about in life, Dave?
People remember how you made them feel. But in wrestling, that's what we do on a daily basis. We make people feel. Not through movement in the ring, although you can make people feel a certain way through your athleticism and your movement, but it's more about how we make people feel. By what we say. And the way we say it. And how we act or react to the things that were being said. The Usos And CM Punk. Did a phenomenal job last night. And how do I know that? Because as a thirty plus year veteran of this industry. They made me feel last night. Now, I'm sure you s you might be saying to yourself, Well, yeah, bully, don't a lot of wrestlers make you feel Not that many. Anymore at all. Not many people can move me emotionally in one way, shape, or form.
And not many can make me forget. That were watching sports entertainment. Last night. Sat in my hotel room. Watching this segment. And Dave? I found myself moving forward in my seat. Which shows a physical reaction to the things that I'm hearing. I found myself inching up to the edge. And the thought going through my mind. Were two words. Hit him. I wanted Jimmy and Jay to To blast CM Punk right in his mouth. Now I know they eventually did it. But I thought it would it felt like it needed to happen a lot sooner in the segment. I'm not taking away from the segment.
Were the hosts surprised by the Usos confronting CM Punk on Raw?
What I'm saying is they did such a good job of making me feel early on in the promo. That once Punk didn't apologize, started backtracking on the apology? tried to turn it all around and put it on Roman. I immediately thought to myself, me and Divon would have ripped this fucking guy's shoulders out. By now. And the only reason I'm saying me and D Von is because I'm trying to put myself in the Uso's shoes. If CM Punk was talking about big Dick Dudley to me and D Von like that, remember folks, we're talking about characters, but we're also talking about real life people. We would have killed him! Maybe went into business for ourselves! That's how much I wanted to see the Usho Usos. Beat up C M Punk. And that tells me
Job well done.
Bully, I I can't echo what you said any better than how you said it just now. And I'm glad that it took a while to get to the physicality and the level of physicality that we got because It just kept drawing me in. Like it it it added to the tension.
