What is the opening banter and premise of today’s Bust Open episode?
Welcome to the Bust Open podcast, along with Justin Labar. I'm Jonathan Hood. And on today's show, we discuss Cody Rhodes and his sit down interview with Michael Cole. What do we learn about Cody? Find out next on the Bust Open podcast. This is the Busted Open podcast. I've had a good weekend. I've had a good weekend because, you know, I live for college football Saturdays, my Georgia Bulldogs. Sick, I'm sick of it. I got the job done. And it was an interesting storyline. So obviously, when I go when we do this show, I'm just zooming right in from Saturday, chasing some bets right until about one, one thirty in the morning. That's all you're chasing. Well, yeah, a little UCLA, Purdue, a little late night, you know.
So it's a lot of chasing, right? And so I go in and I woke up this morning and I thought, man, I can't wait to see my partner again so we can do this show. And somehow I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. It's not because of you this time. It is because... Tell her to move. Tell
her
to roll over and move. I'll tell her to move, all right, pal. I'll tell her to move. That's no question. Here's some luggage. You can move right away if you like. No, um... I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning because I'm just mad at Cody Rhodes. Mad at Cody. You know, the one thing you've known me for a while now, the one thing I can't stand is a dumb baby face. And the reason why is because I grew up with this. As an AWA kid, I grew up with the guy leaning the heel against the ropes and say, should I hit him? Should I hit him? Yes, because he would hit you. Why are you asking me? And why are you taking 10 seconds to ask me whether or not you should hit him or not? And then, of course, clean break.
And then you go do it again. Just like, hey, should I put him against the rope? Should I hit him? Should I hit him? I grew up with that.
Clean break and then get poked in the eyes.
Yeah, exactly. Maybe that's why I was a Nick Bockwiggle guy growing up because he would never ask me, should I hit him? He would hit him and he would poke you in the eye and hit you the balls and do whatever it took to win. You and I saw Cody Rhodes with a sit-down with Michael Cole. It's been much anticipated here on the channel. People want to know, what would Cody say? We watched it, and I'll just tell you my thoughts before we hear from him. Justin, I can't stand a dumb baby face. WWE makes it seem like that Cody's only made one judgment in error, one error in judgment, as far as should I hit this heel? Should I just take him out without the referee seeing? We've been through this before with Cody, making poor judgments.
Instead of just go ahead and do it, he's thinking about, I'm QB1. and I'm the face of the company, and kids are watching. I can't do illegal tactics. But this is not the last time this has happened. Just Randy Orton on Sunday night's main event. We've seen him do this before. I can't stand a dumb baby face, and I felt like I got some of that in that sit-down this past Friday on SmackDown.
You definitely got a good helping of it. The difference is going to be how long does he – remain with these these type of comments or the the way that i think it can be salvaged is if it somehow gets revealed he's already been plotting and he's keeping his cards close to the vest of how he's going to change i mean you know so it's it's not it's certainly not you know lost or dead or what have you but i i completely agree that when you go into this interview and you listen to him, and even off the top, we might hear it, or even off the top, Michael Cole, Cody doesn't like the phrasing, the expression that Cole used. He's kind of defensive, kind of in denial a little bit. And hey, that could result in a great ending to this.
We'll see, but I agree. All shucks, I'm QB1. Nobody can see me do a cross thing or say a cross word. well you just lost the match so what you know like maybe maybe you should probably regroup a little bit here is certainly how it can come off uh when you look at it through the context as you said as being a dub babyface
