I'm gonna talk about it right now.
What does Roman Reigns announcing CM Punk as his WrestleMania opponent mean for the main event?
This is the Busted Open Podcast. Straight up before I even get into all this, uh I'm not a normal person. As you know, I live this life of a bubble of professional wrestling. This is all I've ever wanted to do. since I was ten years old. I've been hooked on this thing and I love it. It is my passion. Um it is everything I kind of generate my entire life to, uh good or bad. Uh it's always been there for me. And uh this show, like I that was my dream. This show was created by a man named Dave LaGrecka and uh gave up his real job. Uh kind of took a bet on himself. And in the real world, uh apparently we received this nice nomination or a nice award um to be within the top fifteen uh sports broadcasts uh in all the land, which in the real world that means a lot.
And uh again, I live in this wrestling bubble and uh it's because of you. I'm literally asking you right now to listen to me for one hour. Tomorrow we're gonna ask you to listen to Dave and Bully for three, then it's not Sam that and you guys always tune in. I'm blessed to meet a lot of you along the way. Um, but I just gotta say thank you because the biggest thing that we ask for is your time and you give it to us. Uh I meet people all over that talk so great about this show and it means the world to me. Um, and I know it means a lot to the other hosts. So for that I say thank you. We have so many great people that work behind the scenes. Tonight I got my man Zach from Philadelphia, Andre, the producing giant.
The list goes on and on, but We really do. Like we just try to entertain you, give you insights, try to make the business better. We have so many different people listening to the show from wrestlers, ex-wrestlers. Um, and we all just try to just for me especially lend a safe space to talk about something that we love, professional wrestling. With that being said, the love of professional wrestling continues, and that's across the board with every wrestling company, WWE. Uh A E W T N A NWA, MLW, New Japan. I could go on and on. C M L L Triple A. But I'm just gonna talk about Monday Night Raw. So thank you again for everything. Uh, Philly, you brought your energy. And man, you were paid off in awesome. television show.
Awesome, compelling television show. I think The travel and the long travel back affected the matches. But I do not think it affected any of the wrestling promos or appearances and stuff like that. And the biggest shocking news uh coming out of this uh Roman Reigns. Roman Reigns who literally last Monday was advertised to be in the Royal Rumble. Um spoiler alert, Royal Rumble was won by Roman Reigns. Um and so now he shows up in Philadelphia. shows up in Philadelphia. Philly acknowledges him. His greatest part about everything that Roman does, this top guy, this ruler of the industry. He comes in very babyface esque and uh very, very and I and I love this part about the n this newer WWE um is truth and history.
Uh Roman Reigns goes out there and basically says his relationship with Philadelphia and it has been a rocky road, but it's also means a lot to him. I know Bully and I were there. working for WWE when Roman got booed out of the building uh standing next to the rock. And it was like, Whoa, like what are we gonna do here? But they literally stood by this guy and like that's when we always say, like sometimes you gotta stick with the plan and trust in the system. Um Roman's entire uh promo to the fans again, very genuine. Uh talked about, you know, being there on his daughter's birthday, which guys like We all sacrifice, right? And it's just not wrestlers. We all do. We sacrifice time away from our children to go to work to try to make our children's lives better.
Uh, we bust our ass in many jobs so they have a better life.
