Yo, what's going on, Busted Open Nation? And thanks for tuning in to another edition of the Busted Open Podcast. The Fat and the Furious Returns. Tommy Dreamer, Uncle Bully talking pro wrestling from SmackDown last week. Randy Orton. Randy gives his mission statement and the people are cheering. Why are people cheering for Randy Orton? Me and Dreamer will discuss it right here on the Bust It Open podcast. This is the busted open podcast. With everything going on in the world, whether that's in the ring, out of the ring, on social media. What is the number one thing that you wanna talk about this morning?
Uh, I would gather we should talk about one Randall Orton and uh his what happened uh everything Friday. I also think If uh going by what he said he will be in the main event at WrestleMania, so I'm assuming It's Cody and Randy Night One and Roman and Punk Night Two, which I really do like both titles being in that main event. Uh so but a lot of stuff went down with Randy uh on Friday night.
Now we saw Randy get into it with Cardona backstage, then he beats the shit out of Cardona later on in the night, yes?
Yes. Well first he opens with an inring promo, then he confronts As he's walking in the back he confronts Cardona. Cardona's has a nice little I'm Cody's friend, gets his ass beat, and then Randy calls him out for the end.
Now it's not so much and I wanna play the I wanna play both audios. And I wanna start off with the in ring promo. It's not so much about what he says, Tommy, and give me your thoughts on this. It's about the reaction of the crowd.
Yes.
Okay. So let's throw, let's play Randy Orton's promo to open up SmackDown.
How did Randy Orton’s heel turn unfold on SmackDown Friday night?
Cody took that burden off my chest. Cody took all that weight off my shoulders when he said, Randy, I need you to be the best version of Randy Orton that you can be, not just for me, not just for them. But for you, I need you to be the viper. I need you to listen to the voices. The problem with listening to the voices is that I'm not always in control. Sometimes things can happen, there's no plan, there's chaos, hell. Sometimes I get hurt just as bad as everybody else, but I know that I need that killer instinct. I know that I need that killer instinct to add number fifteen to my legacy. And I'm gonna do it with the three most dangerous letters in all of sports entertainment, RKO. I hear voices. In my head.
They counsel me. They understand. They talk to me. They talk to me and they tell me that I am going to beat Cody Rhodes. The voices in my head talk to me and they tell me that I am going to beat Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship. The voices in my head, they talk to me and they tell me I am going to beat Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship and I am going to do it. А те майо ВеслМания.
The voices in my head tell me that I am going to beat Cody Rhodes. Yeah Those people who popped and cheered and were lively and energetic for every last thing that Randy Orton said about Cody Rhodes and oh by the way, Randy Orton is the guy that left Cody Rhodes a bloody mess two weeks ago. I could ask you um uh I I could ask you nuanced questions, I can ask you detailed questions. How about you just tell me what you think about fans cheering for Randy Orton right now?
For just talking about Dennis Condri and being a heel, uh, that promo is not a heel. And there was another key part of that when he first sat down and listen there They're cheering for him. He sits down and he starts his promo and he he's he's quiet in his delivery and he's talking about I did everything I was supposed to do. I signed all your autographs, I smiled, I did everything, and it was the worst feeling in my life. And I'm like and they're not booing. And I'm like, okay. Um this just listen, um it wasn't a heart. If you're just my whole thing was if you're just gonna go this route 'cause he also gave Cody. Cody gave him the excuse to just beat him up. And it was just like Cody said, if you remember, I'll always love you.
Okay. You wanna face this guy? Okay, this is what this guy does. And the fans are into it.
