Hey guys, this is Denise Salcedo with the world's strongest man, Mark Henry, and welcome to the Busted Open Podcast. To kick off the show, Mark and I discuss Pat McAfee's appearance on SmackDown and whether we think this match is really about Cody and Randy.
This is the Busted Open Podcast. SmackDown was good without it being a uh championship show or but Patnography for all those people that will hate. Pat McAfee, he he uh we knew it was somebody else. Yeah, it probably was. Pat McAfee went out there last night, Denise. And Jesu eviscerated the business. And last week you had P Punk had promos. Then you had Cody had promos. And hell Tony Khan had promos. Like they had promos all over the world. But this week They're gonna talk about Pat McAfee all the way until Monday and Tuesday and Friday because He went out there and s and and said to the fan, Y'all worthless no goods. But this is what I'ma do to save the business. He went and got Dodge Ram To throw in money. To lower the ticket prices.
Twenty five percent. Up until Monday of uh next week. And that was just for night one. Because Cody and Um Uh Randy are gonna be the night one main event.
How did Pat McAfee’s SmackDown appearance impact the Cody vs Randy storyline?
So they lowered the prices. So twenty five percent of what The current price was R roughly a hundred bucks. There's a lot of people that are gonna go, oh shit. That that ticket is a hundred dollars off? I'm I'm gone. And then they're gonna and I guarantee you if they're smart, which I know they are Monday Pat McAfee's gonna do the same thing. And he's gonna do it for the second night, for Raw. And what you got. Punk and Roman in the main event. So he's already with this Um With this negativity he's taken it and made it a positive.

They the gangsters invented the coat drive for the for winter seasons. Come on, Denise, Pat McAfee's a gangster now. And he did a hell of a job at anybody that said now you can you can still hang on the fact that we know if you're if you're a smart ass wrestling fan which I I'm a smart mark now, lit literally. Anyway, uh You That's gotta be
the name of your show, Mark. Smart Mark.
Smart Mark. So they they don't Everybody they don't they don't have a doubt whatsoever that we know. That Pat was not the original choice. But you know what, Denise, I wasn't the original choice in a bunch of things. But once they made the decision to put me in there It worked like a son of a guy. There are people that could probably say the same thing about you. I remember the noise when we first started. Ah I don't like her and eh. You kicking their ass in the balls right now. You're killing the game. It don't matter that you weren't the first choice if you could do the job. Pat McPhee did the damn job last night. He roasted CM Punk. He roasted Cody.
