Welcome to the Busted Open podcast. I'm Justin Labar along with Denise Salcedo. First up, Drew McIntyre. Can he make it to WrestleMania as WWE champion?
This is the Busted Open Podcast. Justin, I haven't had the opportunity to get your feelings and your thoughts on Drew. I I'm a big Drew fan, so this was a long time coming. I feel like he has uh he's worked extremely hard, and the fans recognize that they root for him, they're excited for him. And let's start there. How did you feel about first and foremost seeing Drew McIntyre become champion and And what do you think about the first week of his championship run?
Uh you know, I'm not mad about him being champion. You know, I I I said to Jay Hood several times like Once they had advertised that match between he and Cody. For the three stages of hell, it was like all right.
How do Denise and Justin evaluate Drew McIntyre’s first WWE championship win?
Here we go again. Giving Drew a title match, you know, presenting him as a And he's always a serious contender for the sense since he's He's Drew McIntyre, he's But i you know, how many times have we seen them, you know, just dangle that carrot out there and it's nothing? And I'd say if he doesn't beat Cody, he he might as well not even enter the Royal Rumble. Don't even if you're not gonna beat Cody straight up. Don't tell me you're gonna beat twenty nine other guys in the Royal Rumble. So I was very happy he did win. I thought that it was a surprise, but I thought it was a welcoming surprise. It felt like there needed to be a shake up. It felt like we kinda run Um a little stale for Cody. Um m not so much even necessarily a damnation on him, but just like
What opponents do we have for 'em? What what you know, it just it just felt like we were just kinda running running dry. So I welcome the Drew McIntyre title. Um title change, title win. And I don't know about you, but I gotta say, watching him in London and the company, they give him the the the bagpipes and um Obviously he's getting the European welcome from the fans. We're very excited for him. Even though this is what I think what his Technically his fourth. World title win in WWE. It felt like it was his first. Yeah, when he walked out on that stage And he's just opening the jacket and he's showing the belt around his waist and again Just the just the pomp and circumstance kind of feel that it had. It felt like this was his first.
It felt like We could finally kind of A race in our memory. the pandemic and all the times when he you know quote unquote shined. Um to which to his credit as a person and as a professional He didn't help carry a company through very uncertain times in the company and in the world. You know, the the show must go on, as they said, and they d they wanted to put on Pro wrestling. Uh and so he was the champion. But it kinda like we c it kind of erases that if it to me at least. That's what it felt. He walked out, it felt like it was his first. you know, with honor when he's got all the fans. I mean I don't know if this w worked into the scheduling and decision making, but the fact that they were over that they are over in Europe
Makes it all the more. uh all the more exciting to have the fans reaction to him. And you know, then he gets in the ring and I load it. He celebrates And soaks it in. He lets he lets everybody celebrate and soak it in, even goes to the front row and takes a You know, a little lap at everybody. And then he immediately gets in there and just turns it on everybody. You know, uh reminds everybody he is the heel and he turns on everybody and you know, screw all of you who are who are now wanting to reach out to me in celebration, where were you all these other times? And so so far Uh two thumbs up for me because Uh it's a nice change of pace. I think Heal Drew McIntyre. Again, you have this investment in him. You know he's not going anywhere.
Why do the hosts believe Drew McIntyre could be a fresh heel champion heading into WrestleMania?
I mean, w I think there was even a social media video in the last couple of years of Him signing his new long term deal and The Rock or Nick Conn or somebody was was in the video. Like so it's like you know he's not going anywhere. He's such a damn good talent.
