How did Cody Rhodes kick off Monday Night RAW at Madison Square Garden?
Welcome to the Busted Open Podcast. This is Dave LaGreca. On today's episode, myself and Bully Ray talk about the epic Monday night raw in New York City at the Mecca, Madison Square Garden. We talk about that opening segment with Cody Rhodes and Stephanie McMahon. Also, Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar. We break it down right here on the Busted Open Podcast. This is the Busted Open Podcast. Wow, what a Monday night raw from Madison Square Garden last night. You were there. I
was sitting at home watching. We're gonna compare some notes tonight. I am ready to start wherever you're ready to start. The garden was rocking. Uh let's take it from the top if you'd like.
Yeah, I I think so. Like you just said, the uh Madison Square Garden, New York City crowd did not disappoint. They were electric. That place was rocking. Uh nobody does it like the garden. And, you know, you could say what you want, but when you're in that building and you see that roof and you have wrestling, uh, it's something special. And I think it started special last night, Bully, with a surprise from your undisputed champion Cody Rhodes to kick off Monday Night Raw last night. You and I got the opportunity to sit down with him in studio. So we kind of figured he would be somehow, some way on Raw. But how did you feel about Cody Rhodes kicking off Monday Night Raw last night?
Before we get into Cody, uh when we did have Cody on the show yesterday, I asked him about how he felt About the cheers that Randy Orton has been getting. It doesn't seem like with all the heinous acts that Randy has done to Cody and all the things he's saying to Cody, Randy isn't getting cheered. Cody said it has not been bothering him. Maybe it one day it will bother him. Um, but as of right now, it's not. I challenged the nation. I asked them, do You believe Cody? A lot of people chimed in. And then last night was a great barometer for how WW the WWE Universe truly feels about Cody up into this moment right now. Cody leaves the Sirius XM Studios, leaves Busted Open, heads right on over to the Mecca, Madison Square Garden.
Probably signed his name about a thousand times, and there he is kicking off. Monday night rock.
And really quick, and I know I mentioned this yesterday on the show, and I actually talked to a couple of, you know, representatives from the WWE and You know, hand on heart bully, I've never seen that amount of people waiting for somebody outside of Sirius XM like they were for Cody yesterday here. And, you know, we could talk about and sometimes we talk within our bubble about Cody and about the booze. You know, when you see that many people outside the building and the reaction that he got and being able to see firsthand uh how the kids love Cody Rhodes, I feel like sometimes we kinda live too much in our bubble and fans need to see the big picture. And I think if you needed an example, yesterday would be that example.
What a problem.
Approximately four hundred people show up at eleven AM in the morning to surround the serious XM studios to the point where they had to sneak Cody in the building just so he would make it to our interview on time. There's only one word that comes to mind when I hear about stuff like that over. Yeah. And when you're over, you're over. Uh and you said it, you've been working in that building since Two thousand and four, I believe. You saw Howard Stern come there. You've seen all the big stars, the the Metallicas, the the the Bruce Springsteens, the uh the the the the news people, the this, the that, the other thing, your sisters asked, they've all been there, but you've never seen a turn a turnout like Cody had at Sirius.
So Cody's music hits in the garden and he comes out to an incredible response about 17,000 plus in the garden last night. All happy to see your WWE Universal Champion.
Cody Rhodes. Yeah, and very positive reaction. Now, whenever Randy Orton's name was mentioned last night, Bully, you got a positive reaction as well. This is going to be an interesting dynamic when we get to WrestleMania. But I I feel like now the big thing is more than ever, who is on the phone with Randy Orton?
