What were the initial reactions to WrestleMania 42 Night 2?
This is the Busted Open Podcast. And Bully, different tone as you just said from coming on after night one to coming on now here after night two.
You ever hear the age-old adage, what a difference a day makes? And I think that's what we got last night with night two of WrestleMania. Once again, when we give our feedback today, we were in the exact locations, myself, Tommy, and Mark, as we were the day before, taking this all in with fans. Me and Tommy were in a cabana. at the Palms Hotel watching WrestleMania. Mark, you were in a separate cabana, a very posh, very elegant cabana, suitable for the world's strongest man watching it. And then the three of us got together for dinner last night and kindly talked about it a little bit. So our perspective comes from watching it on our own, watching it with fans live. I know you watch it in a very lively setting, Dave, but man, oh man, it's as if there were two completely different sets of creative writing night one and night two.
And not only that, guys, but the feeling that we had and we talked about last year. coming out of WrestleMania 41, doing the show here in this studio where I was ranting and raving, and we just felt like there was just a dark cloud over everything that we saw in that main event to end WrestleMania 41. Mark, completely different. Now that we're coming out of WrestleMania 42.
Listen, it's beyond completely different than last year. Yeah. Even yesterday, which I thought was a good show and a good first night because they had a lot of things that surprised the hell out of you, as well as the matches were what we thought they would be. But the second night, Even though we expected things, we just didn't know. And as a fan, that's what you want. You want to be surprised. You want to be on the edge of your seat like, is it going to be this way or that way? It was unpredictable. That's why one of the reasons, I think it's one of the main reasons why it was so good. My grandmother used to say, Bully said the old cliche of what a difference a day makes. My grandmother used to say, keep on living.
And living another day, we got to see one of the best wrestlers of all time. Top five. Which I will put Brock in my top five now. Wow. Retire and cry. And I said yesterday in a post, Like this is probably the most I've cried at a retirement of a wrestler because Brock has been very humble in the last few months. And I didn't see it coming. His retirement surprised me. He never mentioned I'm going to retire. He said that I'm going to spend more time with my family. But that can mean a lot of things. He told me a few weeks ago, hey, man, I saw your daughter on the internet. That's crazy. And I said, yeah, she's doing pretty good. He said, man, she does a lot of the moves I do that I used to do. He said, are y'all going to come to the show in Houston?
I said, I ain't playing on it, but what's on your mind? He said, can you bring her? I want to show her something. And I said, all right, well, I guess that's where we'll be. And that's what we did. And he said, man, my daughter is a thrower. She's really good at what she does. And my sons are hockey players. He said, I have nobody to share my wrestling with. He said, I'd love to work with her. And I said, bro, say less. Like, you tell me where to be, and I'll bring her. That is a man of compassion and thinking, where am I going to go next? Maybe Brock becomes the advocate for kids. Maybe he becomes the advocate for wrestling again. I don't know what he's going to do.
How did Oba Femi's retirement of Brock Lesnar impact fans?
But I do know this. We have saw the best of Brock yesterday, emotionally especially. We've never been emotional about Brock. We've always been fearful. And I think that Brock would be, if he didn't retire, he would be the biggest babyface of all time.
Which... That's a great point. I want to bring something up before we get to Tommy, and this will actually lead to Tommy. Mark, you used the word retire about two or three times just now because you saw Brock Lesnar leave his boots and his gloves in the ring. One of the things I noticed is...
