What's good, everybody? Welcome in to the Busted Open After Dark podcast. Night two of WrestleMania is in the books.
What were the highlights of WrestleMania 42 Night Two?
Me and our fearless leader, Dave LaGreca, chopped it up and talked about every single match on the card. This is the Busted Open podcast. Last night, you and I were a little conflicted about the main event. Last night, I think tonight you and I both can agree that is what a WrestleMania main event is supposed to look like. Good evening, sir.
I mean, that was a WrestleMania card top to bottom tonight as opposed to what we saw last night. I think you and I both agreed overall night number one was weak. Night number two, completely different story.
It really was. Let's start right there with the main event because it was a very quick night. I was looking at the clock going, wait a second, it's only 8.30. They were only two and a half hours in when they started the package for the main event, but it was obvious to me that they wanted to let it play out. It was a full hour. It was theatrical. I thought both guys never got gassed. They never got tired to me, but the way they sold the fatigue I thought was amazing. What did you make of the match itself?
I think it's one of the best WrestleMania main events I've seen in a very long time. I think it's a classic. I think it's going to go down as one of the best ever. And I love the theme of what we saw, Coach, because it was what Roman said. Hey, Punk, you're old. And what did it come down to? The fatigue. CM Punk couldn't get him up for that last GTS. And I think that's going to be the theme coming out that, hey, man, just like I said, you're too old to do this anymore. You ran out of gas. I didn't. I hit you with the spear. One, two, three. Roman's your champion. And now we could see if they could capture that magic of Roman Reigns as champ as they were able to do three years ago.
So a couple of things that I saw on social media that I want to hit you with, because to me, details matter. And at one point in the match, Roman Reigns used the steel stairs literally as the referee is looking right at him. And a lot of people were like, how in the world... was Roman Reigns not disqualified right at that moment. This was not a no DQ. It wasn't a street fight. It was none of that.
How did the main event between CM Punk and Roman Reigns unfold?
Do you think they may use that for CM Punk moving forward as an excuse that he can use or a reason of why he lost?
I don't think if you're CM Punk, you can use any excuses. Yeah, I just don't think that character fits that type of mold. So I just don't see it. You're right, though. I mean, here is a championship match. I'm actually interested to hear what Bully has to say about this tomorrow morning on Busted Open because he talked about Seth and Gunther and the one thing that really bothered him. was the lack of the credibility of the referee in that match. But you had the same kind of story here, but just the backdrop was so different, I didn't really have a problem with it at all.
I thought the reason it was so great, you guys are listening to the after show, Dave LaGreca and the coach here on Pro Wrestling Nation 24-7. About 30 minutes in. I don't know how you felt, but to me, a great main event is one that I don't know who is going to win. And there were so many great false finishes. I was like, I can make a reason for either guy to go over. They decided to give it to Roman. And I think one of the things we talk about with Roman is if he's going to be a champion, how much is he going to be there to be that champion? How much do you think they've talked to him about? If we're going to do this, then we need you solid. For the next four to five months.
You have to. This can't be a repeat of the last time we see him once every three months. If you're the champion, you have to defend that championship. So I think he needs to be present. I think he needs to be there. I would be disappointed if he's somebody that's just an attraction. If he's just an attraction, he can't put championship gold around his waist.
That's exactly right. That's exactly how I feel.
