Welcome to the Busted Open Podcast. This is Dave LaGreca. On today's episode, myself and Bully Ray dive into the releases, 23 of them, in the WWE. Our reaction right now on the Busted Open Podcast.
What recent WWE talent releases are discussed in this episode?
This is the busted open podcast. Bo Dallas, Nikki Cross, Joe Gacy, Eric Rowan and Dexter Loomis. And it's funny, Bully. I remember coming off of Monday Night Raw on a Tuesday where you and I started off the show and talked about it. for pretty much more than half the show, and that was when the Wyatt Six first game to Monday Night Raw, and they laid everyone to waste. Remember, we thought they killed Chad Gable in the gorilla position, and we were like, wow. But the follow-up, I don't even know if you could call the follow-up a follow-up. They had that great debut on Monday Night Raw, and then it just completely fell off from there to the point here we're talking about each member of the Wyatt Six now being released by the WWE.
What happened? Can you remember something so big and talked about? Day one completely falling off. Not on day 132, but day two, Bully. It just felt like they never knew how to follow up that great debut that they had on Monday Night Raw.
What were they supposed to do with them? You have a group, there were five or six people in the group, maniacs, that they tried to humanize a little bit through vignettes. It never really worked other than the surface shock and awe. Like we see the entrance, very, very, you know, it looks like something out of a horror movie in Hollywood. Oh my God, this person, they laid out this person, they got rid of this person. Chad Gable looked like he had such blunt force trauma to the head that he should have never been back on TV. This amazing entrance, the... People obviously still feeling very sentimental about Bray Wyatt. We get this amazing thing. Great. Now what? There never was a now what? Now, I'm not sure if there never was a now what because they didn't think past it, which I don't think they would have done.
You can't put that much time, effort, and production into something with not having some kind of a follow-up in mind, right? It wouldn't make sense to have that big of a debut of a group not to have a follow-up, correct? Yes. Could something have happened in between the very brief debut and planned follow-up that could have derailed their success?
I know there was that ill-fated picture of the entire group posing like I think it was that same night that they made their debut at Whataburger. Now, could that have been the catalyst? All I know is Bully, like you just said, you put all this time and effort, production, the roster laid out. It was the way Monday Night Raw ended with this big cliffhanger. Are these wrestlers still alive?
What did we just see? What if you were in charge of everything? And we know Hunter is very hands-on with every talent there. What if you're the guy that was extremely hands-on in each one of these characters? the production of how everything came together, the way the scenes were shot, the amount of blood, the way people were laid out, the lighting, the music. What if you were the producer director of this thing that you were bringing back to life or introducing as the Wyatt Six and you put that much effort into these people? And then that night or the very next day, you saw that picture. As the director or the producer, what would you have thought?
First of all, I would probably have a broken right hand because I would put my fist through a wall.
You'd probably look at them and go, why would you do this? Yes or no?
Yes, a thousand percent, because it's like we put all this effort, all this time. I don't remember the last time we had something like that happen, Bully, that really did captivate the audience. And then you see that picture. And it's got to be frustrating.
It was an immediate fall off from the debut, correct? Yes. And then months down the line, they kind of breathed some more life back into them.
What led to the downfall of the Wyatt Six in WWE?
There was a little bit more stuff here and there. And then towards the end, there was a feud with the MFT.
