Welcome to the Bust it Open Podcast. This is Dave Lagreca. On today's episode, myself and Bully Ray talk about WrestleMania 42 and Where's Gunther? What match will he have? We discuss right now on the Busted Open Podcast. This is the Busted Open Podcast. Gunther beats Goldberg, retires Goldberg on Saturday night's main event. He retires John Cena.
What are the speculations about Gunther’s role at WrestleMania 42?
Gunther Hall of I mean, Goldberg Hall of Famer, John Cena, future Hall of Famer. AJ Styles going into the Hall of Fame this year. at the rumble. So you're talking retires Goldberg, retires John Cena, retires AJ Styles. So when we saw all those things take place, Bully, we're like, what does the WWE have in store for Gunther at the biggest show of the year, WrestleMania? Come tomorrow, we're three weeks away from WrestleMania. I don't even remember the last time we saw Gunther on TV. What could they possibly have for Gunther at WrestleMania forty two?
Here's what I would do. Is Gunther on T V tomorrow night? Tonight? No, Monday, no. Here's what I would do. And I don't have the logistics worked out. I don't know who the person would be. But I would buy myself time with Gunther. Gunther's been retiring talent left and right, correct? Yes. I would now do Gunther's open challenge at WrestleMania. With the stipulation. Whoever accepts the open challenge If they lose must retire. Now I would look for a veteran wrestler. That could come in. Get a pop! Work five minutes. Get beat. And now Gunther's retired somebody else. And I would get Gunther past this WrestleMania and hopefully get him to Brock at SummerSlam and keep him on track. There's gotta be somebody out there.
And here I'm just gonna use me as an example for lack of a better example right now, right? Okay. Gunter open challenge. Um, who's it gonna be? Who's it gonna be? The the rock gets hit. Out comes Bubba Ray Dudley. Okay? Team three D is retired. Bubberay Dudley is not. Out comes Bubba Ray Dudley.
How could Gunther’s open challenge match be structured at WrestleMania?
Bubba Ray Dudley uh accepts the fact that this is his his last match. Bubba says, Well, if I'm gonna put uh my my career on the line, I want this to be a hardcore match. Bubba versus Gunther. Gunter uh puts Bubba through a table, chokes him out, blah blah blah. Gunther wins, Bubba's retired. It keeps him moving on. Now, pick pick pick a veteran. I don't care. There's gotta be a veteran out there who has not retired yet. Who would be willing to do get do this match with Gunter, get the payday, get the pop, lose to Gunther in five to ten minutes, and move on. What do you think of that idea?
I I I like the idea. I don't know who that would be, but you're right. There's gotta be somebody out there that could could uh accept that challenge. Something that was brought up this week I I listen.
JB out. JB out. I I'm just I'm like I said, I'm just throwing a name out there. Road dog!
I don't uh here's the thing. It's gotta be a name big enough that it gets people going. But if you have a big, big name, wouldn't you wanna promote it?
No, you you you you need to buy yourself time now. to find the right guy. You got two to three weeks to find the right guy. And I would keep it as a surprise. It's not gonna be a big deal match because you you're you're you're out of you're out of guys right now. So let's do a surprise. Gunther's open retirement challenge. Anybody can accept the challenge, but if you lose, you're retired. That might keep a lot of got current roster members away.
Yeah, I don't know if there's anybody on
the
current roster that
fits that mold. You you bring back a returning veteran A Hall of Famer who maybe is not retired at somebody. I've given you a couple Couple of names. Yeah. And you have a five to ten minute match. It's possible. Like I I'm sure the nation I mean, I know we got about like, you know, forty five minutes left in the show. I would leave it. Maybe the nation can come up with a name that works. That hasn't re officially retired, has a match left in them. Can do something
against Gunther. I think it was Tommy that brought this up. Maybe it was you, Bully, but I know it was brought up this week on the show. Could you do something?
