  • Love the condensed version

    I love the short condensed versions of Busted Open. I listen to a lot of pods and some are just way too long. This is just right for me. I just figured out Bishop is as a wrestler if they mentioned who he was in the WWE I must have missed it. Bully is as much of a straight shooter as there is on wrestling podcast. Nic Nemeth does great job to.

    I also love that Denise stood up for her beliefs in regards to WWE going to Saudia Arabia in a back and forth with Mark Henry.

  • SMH Bully

    Love this podcast, but my man Bully marking SUPER hard for the Saudis this week. Way to represent the blue collar fans who’ve been with you since 2300 my dude. I get it though, can’t miss out on that blood oil payday. Wish you all the best in your Mania match against the NAO at 43 after you bend the knee. Sleep well on that pile of cash.
