Mark Henry 0:00
what's going on guys world strongest man i'm reacting to the go home show for night of champions right now on after dark this is the busted open podcast guys i ain't gonna lie i'm not gonna lie i was getting a little worried i was getting a little worried because the beginning of the show It showed a few things. There were some things that I thought were important that happened, but outside of Trick Williams, nothing really like, you know, I'm sorry, guys. I'm sorry. Nothing was really moving me. Like, my spirit... I wasn't entertained because I'm a wrestling fan. I'm sure y'all were entertained because it was wrestling. But it was nothing that was like, holy shit. Did you see that? If you was by yourself, then you didn't do that.

How did Mark Henry evaluate the entertainment value of the show?

Mark Henry 1:04
But if you had somebody with you, you didn't get to do that at the beginning of the show. And... I judge a show usually by how it starts and what I wouldn't say what surprises because you don't always get surprises. You know, I judge it by the content. Was it competitive? Was there a level of danger or did I feel like, oh my God, I can't believe that this person stepped out of line? Something. Don't, you know, I gotta go straight to the end. The most important thing that happened in this show tonight was the end of the show. Holy shit, did they get after it.

What were the most significant moments from the SmackDown show?

Mark Henry 2:10
And when I say get after it, I enjoyed seeing the match-ups. Didn't have to be a physical match. But the match-ups. You have Cody Rhodes. And Cody is... Andre, you have to talk me down from the tower tonight. Cody Rose is a heel, y'all. I mean, the Seuss, the pompous attitude to the things that he says to people and about people. And let's go, the guy, he said the guy. He didn't say Johnny Gargano laying there like a potato or whatever.

How does Cody Rhodes' character development impact the storyline?

Mark Henry 3:16
What the hell he said? That's derogatory. I mean, I'm just saying, y'all don't want to say it. Y'all don't want to say it. Mark, can I play devil's advocate here for this? You're blind, Andre, if you tell me.
Cody Rhodes was not a heel the way that he talked to Sami Zayn Is it the slight chance though that he he just gets passionate and he just the anger just taps in like, you know We just get your nice guy. Everything's great But then when you just get past your limit that person just pokes you one too many times Then you just let everything slip. I think that's what Cody's going through right now Slightly heel ish. I'll agree.

What makes Jey Uso a key player in the current wrestling narrative?

I
Mark Henry 4:04
Andre, there have been people that I've worked with on this show. And we've discussed issues. You name it. And I've been tired of their take. I'm like, you are wrong. You're backwards. You're on the wrong side of history on this matter. But I had to sit there and just go... Well, that's an opinion.

How does Gunther's role influence the championship landscape?

Mark Henry 4:37
Now I'm going to give you mine. And I'm not saying that I'm always right because I'm not. I've been proven wrong many, many times and I'm comfortable with that. Some of y'all might have an issue with being wrong, but you know what? If you don't have a brain and you don't have a take and you don't have an opinion and people don't listen to it, then you don't matter anyway. So I'm happy to matter. But I am a man and I can admit when I'm wrong. But on this issue, Andre and Nation and wrestlers alike, I'm not wrong on this. I'm not wrong. My mother used to tell me all the time, it's not always what you say, but how you say it.

What are the implications of Obafemi's arrival on the wrestling scene?

Mark Henry 5:36
There's a lot of that with Cody. But then Cody will shuffle in one of those... I can't even remember the word that he used. I didn't think that that word fit, Andre.
One of those SAT words that gets thrown in there?
Mark Henry 5:59
Right there at the end. What did he say? You know, I'm saying... Sammy is talking all of this shit. I'm like, Sammy, you... You're a liar. Cody said before that you are in denial because you don't want to admit that you just want this championship.

How do fan reactions shape the direction of wrestling storylines?

Mark Henry 6:21
Who don't want it? Why would you not admit to that, Sammy? Why would you not say, you know what, you're right, I do want it. I'm not willing to cut your throat to get it. I want to get it head up. but you keep dodging me and you my friend, so I'm wondering what's up. Why don't he say that?
