Welcome to the Busted Open Podcast. This is Dave LaGreca. On today's episode, myself and Bully Ray talk Monday Night Raw and the non-acknowledgement from Jacob Fatu to Roman Reigns. We break it all down right here on the Busted Open Podcast. This is the Busted Open Podcast. Bully, let's dive into Monday Night Raw. The Monday Night Raw after Backlash. You and I both really enjoyed Backlash from Saturday night. I thought it was an A pay-per-view. And now we're on the road after Backlash with new stories. I guess take us to SummerSlam. I think last night was the beginning of the first chapter. Overall, what did you think of Monday Night Raw last night?
I'm going to use a term that you hear me use a lot, and it was good at best.
Yeah, I thought it was okay.
When I say good at best, I try to keep in mind that... People do enjoy the show, and people like the show. On my way to the studio this morning, I was listening to Dreamer on After Dark, and one guy called in with his nine-year-old son. And they had just left Raw last night, and they're like, man, we had a great time. We really enjoyed ourselves. So I'm saying to myself, hey, man, there's a guy going with his kid, and they thought the show was... Really good.
What were the highlights from Monday Night Raw after Backlash?
Had a great time. And I think it's more about, like, last night they were in Knoxville, right? How many times a year, especially with live events and house shows, like, becoming something almost obsolete. Obsolete! How many times do they get to go to Knoxville? How many times do they really get to go anywhere? So when they are coming to these cities that back in the day may have been B cities, you know, Nashville being the A city, Knoxville being the B city, just perception-wise, how many times do they really come to these cities? So the people are going to be more up and ready to have a good time. And I think where that was glaring, once again, was during the main event segment of Jacob Fatu and Roman Reigns.
All right. First of all, a few things from what you said that I want to double back on. you're absolutely right when you're there live and this is why I always tell fans if you get the opportunity go and I know that tickets are expensive for WWE but doesn't necessarily have to be WWE could be AEW or just an independent show if you get the opportunity to see live pro wrestling go see it it's a much different experience than watching it on TV you could take a show where like last night's Raw that I thought was okay, you thought was good at best. But if you're there in attendance to watch it, it's going to be much, much better, a much better feel. You're around other fans. You get excited. You get to see the entrances and everything else that comes along with it.
So if you get the opportunity, go and support live wrestling because it's a much better experience live than it is on TV. So that's number one. And number two is you're 100 percent right, Bully. Like the days of the live events are gone. You know, I grew up, you grew up where, you know, the Madison Square Garden would have a card every month or two. You know, the Meadowlands would have a card every month or two. So if you missed the show, don't worry. In a month or two, it's going to be right back and you're going to have an opportunity to see it. Now, who knows the next time Knoxville is going to have a WWE show because they don't really do live events anymore.
So stop. We just stop right there for one second. Let's check this out. You live in Knoxville and you're saying, who knows when we're going to get another WWE show, let alone a live Monday Night Raw. And oh, by the way, you want me to boo Roman? Uh-uh.
It's not going to happen. It's not going to happen. And I think that's a big reason why you're getting the reception for certain characters. It's the same thing with a Becky Lynch. Like when Becky Lynch, she didn't do anything in the ring, but it was behind the scenes. Like out comes Becky Lynch. She's going to get a big reaction. Because, oh, my God, it's Becky Lynch. So it's not going to really follow with the characters you're trying to present on your weekly television show.
