What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
What's good, everybody? I am the coach. Welcome in to the Busted Open podcast for night number one of WrestleMania. We start off with me and Dave LaGreca, our leader, our godfather, chopping it up about the main event. Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, oh yeah, and Pat McAfee. This is the Busted Open podcast.
What were the highlights of the Cody Rhodes vs Randy Orton match?
Dave, I got to be honest with you, the psychology of the match, if people didn't watch it, of course they did, they're watching us right now, to have Pat McAfee come out, put in a stretcher by a horrible elbow by jelly roll then he comes back out at the end in a referee's uh shirt and then Randy RKO's Pat and then Cody beats Randy and that's how we end the match what did you make of the main event I I loved it and you know obviously it's Cody's my guy Cody retains the championship
But I like the way that they did it. The only thing I would have changed, Coach, is I would have given Pat McAfee a real receipt, which is a kick in the balls. That's what I would have done instead of the crossroads. That's very similar to what he did to Travis Scott last year. I would have stayed away from that, get rid of Pat McAfee, have him out of the match early so he's not a distraction, and he can get down to business with Randy and Cody in the ring, which is what they did tonight.
I kind of felt like that was the psychology of the jelly roll coming out of nowhere. I felt like they've been listening to you guys all week, and they said, you know what? Cody hates it. The fans hate it. Let's get Pat out of it. And they did that right away.
How did Pat McAfee's involvement impact the main event?
But you always felt like Pat was going to come back in. What I didn't like, Dave, was the finish. I thought if we're doing the double finger, Wouldn't it have been awesome to have Stone Cold come out and be a part of that?
Well, listen, I mean, if you could get Stone Cold to be a part of it, that would be fantastic. Listen, they didn't even have Stone Cold when they were celebrating 316 Day. Right, right. Monday Night Raw in Texas on 316. They don't have Stone Cold Steve Austin. So, yes, you're right. Just like going back to WrestleMania 40, instead of The Undertaker, Stone Cold would have been the right person to have there. for whatever reason, that's just not going to happen. So I like the way that it played out tonight.
All right. Well, we want to hear from you guys out there in the nation. You know the number, 877-344-4893. We'll get back to the main event in a second. But real quick, the other – Results tonight, there wasn't a ton of surprises, Dave, but the big one, and they paid it off with a championship, was the return of Paige in the Fatal 4-Way women's match. She wins with Bree. It seemed like the crowd was completely into it. They were over as the new champs. I thought she looked great. It's scary when you get kicked out of the business because of a neck injury. What did you make of them bringing her back and giving her the title tonight?
Well, Coach, you made a really good point about the crowd and how they pop for Paige tonight. For the most part, and I don't know how it came across on television, but I'm here in the stadium. For the most part, this crowd was dead tonight for night number one. times and I think the loudest pop of the night was for Paige when she came out and then a standing ovation from everyone in the stadium after she won that championship so I know there's going to be people that are like alright she's just coming back and she's got a title belt around her waist why not if it gets that type of a reaction And this goes back to a lot of this stuff from people going over to AEW, not being used, and then coming back to the WWE and being big and having championship gold.
CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, and now Paige, the same type of thing. That reaction tonight, I got goosebumps. And then the standing ovation when she was holding that championship in the air and she got kind of emotional, that's what WrestleMania is all about. I heard you last week talking about it's about not matches, it's about moments. That was a moment tonight.
Yeah, I actually tweeted that back out tonight.
