What did Tommy Dreamer say about the significance of RAW at MSG before WrestleMania?
Welcome to the Busted Open After Dark. I'm your host, Tommy Dreamer, a Rhodes and a McMahon open up Madison Square Garden Monday Night Raw, and I'm gonna talk about it right now. This is the Busted Open Podcast. Wow, a lot to talk about with uh nineteen days to go to WrestleMania and the card now really starting to take shape. Um And you're gonna get a lot of uh the same type of stuff we saw s tonight, I feel, going into WrestleMania, where you're gonna have some nice twists and turns, some appearances we didn't think we'd get, um, and a whole lot more. And I'm gonna start right off the bat. You heard it in the intro. Cody Rhodes, uh fresh off of his media this morning, uh fresh off of his sit down with Dave LeGrec and Bully Ray, you can listen to that.
sit down on the Sirius XM app and uh some nice Dave asked some really nice questions, so it'd bully Um That he Addressed I felt very Open and honest. And uh so we get to Um WWE, what do you want to talk about? MSG. Um interrupts by Stephanie McMahon. Um I did not know it was Stephanie McMahon. I'm not familiar with her new music. So it was nice to see that uh, you know, that's one thing with identifiability. The moment she walks out there, she's gonna get a nice, nice pop. Um Here comes Stephanie. She looks great. Obviously, she's going into WWE Hall of Fame. Um, here she starts with her promo. And uh I liked it. I liked it a lot. It took it to uh a different level. Um some places where it really has me speculating.
We'll break down a few things. Uh some of this I feel they went a little bit too insider. Um that didn't need to be, but again the general really, really depths of the promo. Some uh striking words here, right? Uh Stefan McMahon, I believe she's forty seven, forty eight years old, Cody Rhodes, he's thirty nine, forty.
How did Stephanie McMahon’s surprise promo impact the Rhodes‑McMahon storyline?
Um both grew up uh in the wrestling industry. I love how the promo set up. You know, we have spoken about, you know, growing up with powerful father figures. Uh growing up in the industry. I loved, you know, her saying you sat center stage and you know we talked about and I sat right over there as Andre the Giant would walk by. Um I love Of all of that part you could also see the rise of the two of them within the business uh to performers. Um then A few things which kinda had me saying hmm Uh both perform I mean hell, Stephanie's a a Hall of Famer, uh going in like I said, and rightfully so Um saying it like you went the championship route and like kinda like I didn't something I really didn't see in you.
Also statement of uh you're not your father. That part had me perplexed because yes, Dusty won every title in the NWA, but he didn't win the story. was he couldn't win the WWE title, which was Cody's main um story. And then saying like, You can't you can't win Rock. Um, you can't win Cody. I liked that part of it. It really was a part of, like I said, the movie Rocky, which everyone should watch, where If you remember, Mickey slaps the shit out of Rocky, but he does it because he's telling 'em you can't see out of that eye. And he tells him like and I'm an old man and just think what the champ's gonna do to ya. Um Steph's telling him like I'm telling you because I care about you. I'm telling you because
I want I don't want to see you kind of get hurt because this has me open where this whole time I kept saying, like, you know, a long time ago, co uh Randy's on the phone on Raw and he's like, Of course you were watching. And yes, there's only one royal family. I said it was The Rock. And now I'm starting to lean another way, and I don't know. I like there was other things I couldn't believe where, you know, Madison Square Garden, the house where my grandfather built. Um, and then later on it was Um Michael Cole saying the house that Bruno built. And yes, Bruno did help build Madison Square Garden. Um so a lot of things that were left out and then the line was, Hey, you're not your father. Vince McMahon helped build Madison Square Garden.
Vince McMahon helped take WD to the next level. I can't say helped. Vince Rick Mann did.
What clues did Dreamer point to that suggest a possible Vince McMahon return?
And now my speculation from all of this is Vince McMahon coming back at WrestleMania?
