What is the main focus of the episode?
Welcome to the Busted Open Podcast. This is Dave LaGreca. On today's episode, myself and Bully Ray talk Monday Night Raw. Seth Rollins, Braun Breaker, or is it Steiner? And Jacob Batu and Roman Reigns. We break it all down right now on the Busted Open Podcast.
This is the Busted Open Podcast. What did you think about Jacob and Roman's face-to-face? I liked it a lot more than Seth Rollins and Braun Breaker's face-to-face. I agree. What did you think of Jacob's level of believability on the microphone? I love it. I really was... I was more into it this week than I was last. Agreed.
There is... You know, because we had those questions about this matchup and about Jacob Fatu being a world champion. And again, I know this is a word that we use a lot here on Busted Open, especially you and I, real. Like... what Jacob is saying is real I love the fact that he's not trying to be like I want to be the head of the table or I want to be the no he's like I want to feed my family like for 12 years I struggled in this business and was making no money and I never thought I'd get the opportunity to be in the WWE and by the way you didn't help me like you could have brought me in and you never did So I thought all this time, was I good enough? Could I do it?
How did Jacob Fatu's promo compare to Seth Rollins and Braun Breaker's?
Am I ever going to get the opportunity? And now that he's got it, Bully, and he knows that time is ticking because Father Time has never been defeated. It's undefeated. I want to make as much money as I possibly can for me and my family. Like, that's as real as real could be, Bully. Not this bullshit, you know... Pro wrestling jargon. This is like, hey, man, I got a wife and kids to feed, and I need to make as much money as possible.
So if you got two guys, if you got Jacob full-blown in Roman's face, and you got Oba on the outskirts, where we heard Oba talk about... roman in the wrestlemania uh post uh press conference yes would you say that jacob and oba are the two biggest threats to roman right now yes there's really nobody else right unless randy no not randy no forget about randy uh that's punk and and uh and cody with with oba and jacob If you were part of the creative process and one of those two guys were to dethrone Roman, Roman said he'll be around for the summer. Yes. Which leads me to believe that he won't be around in the fall, you know? I hope he is. But it leads me to believe he won't be around in the fall. So maybe let's just say at SummerSlam he has to drop the championship.
Who does he drop it to, Jacob or Oba?
It's a really good question because it goes a little deeper from last night because there was a name that was mentioned that I wasn't expecting to be mentioned, and that was Solo. Solo Soko was mentioned in that promo.
He dismissed Solo.
What makes Jacob Fatu's story relatable and authentic?
Yeah, like both of them did. Actually, Jacob acknowledged Solo like, hey, the guy who brought me in was Solo. As much as we've had our differences, Solo was the guy that brought me in. That's why when I first came, I acknowledged Solo. Bully, when I heard that, I was like, thank you. Because I'm thinking, well, why won't Jacob acknowledge Roman, but he acknowledged Solo? Well, now it makes sense. Solo was the one that brought him in. So I'm going to acknowledge Solo. I'm not going to acknowledge you. You had nothing to do with it. And then Roman just dismissed Solo like he meant it. Man, he can't even order a cup of coffee in this place. I have a feeling, like we talked about the bloodline, if done right, they could heat this back up again.
But with different players. With Solo. With Jacob Fatu. When Roman was on top before, they only got to a certain level. Jacob and Solo, if done right, could be major players. That's why your question is a difficult one. If you asked me that question yesterday, before what I heard last night, that's an easy one. Obafemi. But now, because of what I saw last night, it's a more difficult question for me to answer.
Give me an example of what you mean when you say, if done right.
Meaning that this story isn't going to just end at backlash.
but can you give me some kind of specific i.e jacob and solo get on the same page yes and so solo reminds jacob of what jacob said remember what you said in the promo remember i said that i was the guy that brought you in remember what i did for you this guy's burying me saying i can't get a cup of coffee you know the real deal jacob you know where your loyalty i mean something to that effect
