Dave looks like my grandma with a hangover on Christmas morning
🤣
Most definitely🤔🙄😳😱😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
I came straight to the comments when I saw that thumbnail 🤣
Dave looks like he was up all weekend sending death threats
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Lmfao
Just zoned in on that gmail 😂😂
Lol poor Ava
Bully’s fantasy booking capabilities are insane!! Put him on creative!
Agreed ✔️
Who's here after the rock cut that Instagram promo on Dave 😂
Mark henry tapping you on the shoulder and asking “ is that you milk and cookies” is top tier horror.
Me: "What? No, no. Just holding it for you big man..." -hands over milk and cookies
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 the way I just SCREAMED
Holy fuck lmao bro!! I got scared just reading your comment 😂... him just looking deep into your soul..
But it's long hair mark Henry in a salmon suit. Terrifying.
I'll tell you what. I'm a give Mark Henry every cookie & Milk I ever obtain and I'm not gon EVER give him lip about it. Lol
Idk why i laughed so hard when Mark said "Gimmie that chocolate milk!"
Lol….Sounds like he’s said it before.
😭😭😭😭😭
Don’t forget the, “and your cookie”
@AmericanUNCENSORED hahaha Now I have to watch Half Baked!
Sexual chocolate Mark Henry was awesome
Bully's idea is great, and even scans with Cody's "I want to take everything from you" line on smackdown. The problem is they had Cody win the rumble and then glare at Roman. So they basically told us we were finally getting the payoff to a 2 year build, and then suddenly pivoted to a match for which two part timers have 2 months to build
Holy shit that stuff about the entire Samoan Dynasty just being at Cody’s side is just Shakespeare’s stuff. Got literal goosebumps imagining it
Rock whispered into Cody’s ear…
“It DOESN’T MATTER what your story is!!”
😂😂😂😂😂
Hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣
Bro😂😂😂
@@MindfuL_Gainz Lmfaooo
😂😂
Hahahaha
Bully's blueprint solution to all of this is fucking genius! I really hope plays out like that.
Pure brilliance Fr to see the whole family come out and stop all the help that's been supportive to roman reigns in a cheating way
solution to what?
@kimberlygaeta7205 you either live under a rock, or are pretending to be arrogant to the thousands of fans dissatisfied with the promo that took place that Friday night.
@@SwolfieTv lol where one guy looked at another guy? Are you THAT gullible to think you know what that meant? WM is 2 months away with Elimination Chamber first. Idiots think it'll be Rock v Roman at WM. Calm down, idiots.
@@SwolfieTv YOU GOT WORKED LOL
That night when The Rock came out and said to the crowd where should he sit .... Everyone should have realized what was coming next
Cody wins
Well Damn Bully. That is an awesome path. We need you in the room. That is definitely the route they should take.
Someone get bubba his own wrestling promotion man's got amazing vision
He def does. He used to be part of creative of his own matches when he first began wrestling
Bubba can probably make better booking decisions that Dwayne The Stooge Johnson.
He made me see it. The guy knows what he's talking about
😊0@@bwright132981
You neva lied. I could picture everything he is saying and it looks good.
Bubba needs to get on the phone with HHH for that ending. It's gold.
I was at Raw in St. Louis and we did our part. The “Rocky Sucks” and “We Want Cody” chants were very loud.
I actually really like Bully's story for the Garden finish. Looking ahead, think about how awesome it will be for Cody Rhodes to capture the WWE Title at Madison Square Garden. I would definitely follow this story.
I just need HHH to come out and say "It's what's best for business"
hhh has nothing to do with this Dwayne went over his head and has more power than hhh
Dwayne went into business for himself. Convenient he owns 100% of "The Rock" and wants a mania paycheck.
Hhh had nothing to do
@@taz5573 You have proof of this? Were you there? Do you know or are you getting played?
Right I agree it would help a lot I think 😂
I feel like Mark Henry can call The Rock and just be like dawg what are you doing
He's no where near Rocky level this isn't the nation Rocky vs Roman 🔥 & Cody vs Seth #4 🔥
Facts 😅
I don't believe if Mark called the Rock, he would answer. The Rock feels he's above Mark. Rock's ego is so fuckin big, Rock actually believes he's saving WM. And he's got TKO believing that bullshit.
@@jeromebass7878I’m talking about person level that they’ve known each other for this long.
@@SamSamSamJYou don't even know him on a personal level so how would you know that?😂
I fell asleep watching TH-cam and when I woke up this was on. I thought Bully was yelling at me.
This has to be one of the best segments of a podcast I’ve ever heard. I love your ideas, your passion and would love to see an emotional end to the story like you all suggest. You 3 guys are awesome.
Really? 5 straight podcasts bitching about a storyline that hasn't even been confirmed?
Bully Ray Should be the booker for AEW they could use him. WWE could use him on the writing team as well.
So glad Dave, Bully, Mark all showed their true distain for this spoke open and honestly big up those guys real dudes in the business
I did not realize just how smart B Dudley is!!!
That was the best possible fix and the best possible save for Cody. Bubba for head writer in any promotion!
Bully Ray's pitch of " THE STORY" is wonderful! Can't write it if it was a blockbuster movie!
I think Dave took it pretty well…..😂
Yes Dave needs more passion😂
@@AlBundyPolkHigh. he needs something, maybe a hug. 😂
@@GavinFromAutoglassRepair 🤣
I'd like to see more emotion from Dave. He's too restrained in this ... 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I would say so 😅 🤷🏾♂️
Corporate Rock, ultimate heel.
That’s what I’m thinking. This was actually a good move.
@@willissudweeks1050better hope Rock doesn’t hurt himself or Roman doesn’t hurt him
@@user-lt1fx2he5s Why would they they are both pros
Could be a way to turn Roman babyface 🤷♂️
Could be a way to turn Roman babyface 🤷♂️
Bubba ain’t lying. I’m a grown ass 36 year old. If Cody wins at MSG, I’ll cry like a baby
17 minutes in and Dave is on one of the most epic freakouts I’ve ever heard LMAO
How Mark and Bully set up the Match with all of the Samoan family watching, i ain’t gon lie that shit got me hyped
That will go down in the history books fr fr
they need to hire Bully and Mark as creative
Yeah that's the story... have it be told at the conference...
AFA and Sika sent Solo to watch you. We saw everything that went on. Solo was reporting back to us everything right up until the Mania match. And that was when Solo realized that it was his chance to take the place of Roman.
Have Solo turn on Roman the next night on Raw. In a tribal court with the WHOLE BLOODLINE There and Rock as the Judge.
Heyman can even turn at this stage
Roman is driven out of the WWE to Rumble next year
Dave looks like if he sees the rock, now he will give him a candy woopass
Rocky would knock him out with 1 hit & Dave will wake ⏰ up the next day a Rock fan
Dave wouldn’t last a minute but he’d blow the rock for a trend of his own.
So glad I watched this because the iTunes podcast version didn't include the ending. I just visualized it all in my head and now I want to see this vision play out!
Rock vs Roman for the head of the table needs to be a lumberjack match with the whole family as lumberjacks
Someone check Dave's blood pressure please!
I knew Dave would not take this well 😂
I don’t think he’s aware of what an inside voice is.😂
He probably voice messages Bully and Tommy and Mark multiple times in a day just to curse and swear at Rock, taking Cody spot 😂😂😂
He bugged out like his brother don does on the Michael Kay show lmao
Really enjoyed this. I’m glad I’ve found this channel.
You know what, i like Mark's idea at the end. I'm seeing Dwayne gravitate his personality towards his character Black Adam. Remember, WWE is no different than regular acting. So what i can see is that the Rock is playing Black Adam in WWE, giving himself the spotlight at WM 40 to act as if he's the true and powerful tribal chief (since he is actually in a higher corporate position). Only to change his mind right before the bell rings and Cody Rhodes comes out and Rock becomes special guest referee on the spot. Then Cody Rhodes wins the championship while The Rock and Reigns have the stare down of the century, thus starting their year long feud, bringing everyone in their family throughout the year.
Rock said “you gone eat yo cornbread”
😂😂😂
Lol this is the best rock cody pun ive seen 👏
You take my cornbread, you gonna suffer consequences and repercussions….cuz I’m from NYC goddammit.
😂😂😂😂
LMAOOOOOO 😂😂😂😂
The Title that Seth has is a totally new title, if nothing else it is the World Heavyweight Tittle. The WWF title which Bruno held was the black belt with the W by the time Roman got it and IT got merged with the Universal Title to make that gold strap. Either way, the title that Roman has is the one with the lineage to Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Stone Cold, etc.
Having Rock acknowledge Cody would be the key phrase to set him vs Roman up. Rock acknowledges Cody and not roman. Boom
Rock whisper to Cody "you did it for The Rock, you did it for the people" 😂
Dave looks like how I look the morning after I get off work 😂
😂😂
Not going to lie, if Mark's scenario about the whole family coming out and sitting in Cody's corner actually happened, that would be MULTIPLE wrestlemania moments for the ages - just think of all the storytelling that would take place as the match went on with the reactions of the family members like they described. It would be incredible, making Cody taking the belt just that little bit sweeter. I'm here for it
11:47 rocky lol
People were posting videos of other people in the middle of nowhere in countries in Africa yelling "We want Cody!" it's pretty insane reach in just two days.
Dave’s passion for this business makes me feel like I can nerd out for wrestling again
That ain’t passion for the business dude because if he looked at from a business standpoint he would see why this change make sense you lose punk and Brock off the table and while you got the rock available you make that match but Dave is a super fan of Cody
@@obrianthomas3661it doesn’t even make sense. Wrestlemania already been sold out Rock ain’t adding much nobody who loved the rock in movies is gonna come watch wrestlemania. Y’all are delusional thinking otherwise 😂 this business perceptive is a fallacy y’all make up. It’s not 1998
@@obrianthomas3661nice essay now dry your tears
@@Tumorcoachexactly this is dwayne Johnson and not the rock. His first comeback run in 2011 showed that he was just a shell of his former self. He was gassed out against punk in 2013 and got injured at mania's main event that year. Now a decade later, an even buffer and older dwayne can't be expected to pull off what the rock did back in 02-03. This is just a rushed, shove it down your throat storyline with no buildup. My respect for Stone Cold just increased even more after this idiocractic crap
This podcast is one off the worst ones they have done cody will fight rr at mania let it play out all he is doing is crying
I’ve been waiting for this and Cornette’s reaction😂😂
cornette will agree rock vs roman is a bigger main event cause cornette isnt a cody fan boy like dave lol
@@markcarn2715 umm what? He literally did a video this past weekend that’s opposite of what you said. Bigger and logical are two different things
@@starshipfame1 jim did a video? its not up on his youtube? i had to double check but its not there
@@markcarn2715 during the Seth/Cody promo reaction. It’s doesn’t make sense for Cody to go for Seth. He has to go against Roman and NO ONE wants to see another Cody/Seth match.
Naaah I don't think it'll fly with Jim either lol especially Brian
Can't remember the last time I refreshed a podcast youtube page so furiously. About to listen
David is the guy who says…It’s still real to me daamit
They snatched the match out of Cody’s hands on Smackdown…
just like they snatched the belt out of Dusty’s hands at MSG.
I love Mark Henry the wrestling fan. To be in the business and come out the other side still enjoying it as a fan seems to be pretty rare.
The tribute was for the Heavyweight title. The Lou Thesz, Terry Funk, Ric Flair, Ron Simmons, Booker T, etc...
Dwayne Johnson doesn't need to "deal with" Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania, they're god damn family, he can do it ANY TIME HE WANTS. This is Cody's Wrestlemania moment, of which The Rock had MANY. Bully Ray can't justify this. It's not about beating Reigns for a title, it's having a Wrestlemania moment, and have it be the main event.
Dave looks like Estelle Getty’s double as Sophia on the Golden Girls
And sounds like Bea Arthur 😂
😅😂😂😂😂
Bro lmaoooo
Goddamn I love that righteous indignation. So cathartic. Go off Dave. USE THAT STAT COLE
Wow. Bully Ray, your dream scenario of the "Samoan Family" match just raised the hairs on my arms and neck. As a fan of the creative aspect of WWE (most times) I am holding out hope, however miniscule, that this rug-pulling fiasco is just a genius script meant to end up with #WeWantCody versus Reigns. (Your Samoan twist would be f*king awesome!)
I wasn't a Cody fan until he left and established himself as his own character. Much respect for him to start something new, return even better but for the writers to think they need rock vs roman instead of cody is crazy. Rock vs roman can be done without the belt sometime later in the year
The best part of Rock/Reigns is everybody booing and then go out of the stadium for the ego of Dwayne illuminati Johnson 🤷♂️😅
Id laugh if everyone got up and walked out so the stadium was empty for the match. Cant stand Dwayne's liberal elitist candy a$$
Imagine coming up with scenarios like this over a scripted match 🤣
but biden@@NoSnowFlakes1
@@Sesshomaruthegod1997imagine the fact, that you are acting like a Moron!
The royal rumble is becoming pointless. The whole thing of winning is to get a title shot in the main event.
Kinda like the MITB briefcase. It has ALWAYS been “for a guaranteed WORLD championship match, anytime, anywhere, for up to 1 year”
Then they go have Austin Theory cash in on the US one. 😂
Punk got injured so they had to change plans.
The fact that everyone into wrestling is only talking about WM40 and is so invested just proves that HHH is brilliantly manipulating this thing to create the maximum amount of hype for it.
BUSTED OPEN=MIND BLOWN THESE 3 ARE AWESOME AND GREAR STORY TELLERS
Damn Dave, get some rest. You haven't slept in days.
Bub-bah is a wrestling savant/ genius!! Busted Open is a wrestling fan's dream come true. Thanks to Dave and the B.O.C.
Damm! I love and AGREE with EVERYTHING Bully said to end Cody’s Story!!! Bravo Sir!! (Especially winning it at Madison Square Garden w/ a picture of Dusty showing the belt and Cody holding the belts as well!) 💪
43:55 Bully called Dave “(Wade) Keller” lol😂
This is where Hollywood Rock Heel would thrive in this position and tell the people to Shut Your Mouth and Know Your Role!! 😂
It would have been great if Dwayne Johnson had just stuck to making his purple woke 💩Disney movies!! WWE Creative doesn't need the Rock, keep Dwayne confined to the TKO Boardroom!!!!!
You guessed it!
Bully needs to be the HEAD OF WWE WRITING AND CREATIVE!!!!
Mark Henry cutting a promo from top of his head is brilliant
Wow first time on this channel and I didn’t realize until the 37 minute mark (the TLC mention) that I’m watching Bubba Ray Dudley, Mark Henry and Dave LaGrecca! (Not that it’s an excuse I’m multitasking and listening more than watching.).
I’ve listened to Don LaGrecca on ESPN radio for 20’years and Dave and Don don’t look that much like brothers but they share the same passion when they speak that it’s unmistakable!
11:50
This is how I felt about Dwayne when he robbed CM Punk out of a WM mainevent in 2012 and 2013.
This is the only video that has given me hope for Cody’s story. Absolutely love the way Bully lays all of this out. Crossing my fingers some of this becomes a reality. Cody and Roman holding their belts in the up as they stare each other down at the end of WM40 would be epic.
I agree. We need Bully in the room with Triple H and creative. That was great!
How sad is that cody will face rr at mania its all a storyline
Yea - I had pretty much decided I wasn't going to watch WM after I saw SD on Friday. I was devastated, and I bought so much Cody merch over the past year.
Tomorrow in Vegas they better be announcing that The Rock will battle Roman for head of the table (not the title) on night one of Mania and that Cody will battle Roman on Night 2 for the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship. It would save the WWE from crapping the bed by saying that rock and Cody planned this all along to have the rock take the head of the table from Roman then have Cody take the title. It would definitely play into the narrative of what he said, when Cody said he wanted to take everything from Roman.
Kind of funny, a week ago the story was all about McMahon and now the WWE quickly pulled the Rock in to turn the page 😮
In Bully we trust.
Bubba and Mark man yall got me with goosebumps with that Madison square garden version with all the Samoan bloodline ringside NOW THATS THE PERFECT WAY TO END THE STORY
Same 🤌🏾
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
So funny watching this after WM 40. This was a heck of an episode.
2:53 they like… “FUCK IS YOU TALKING BOUT!?” 😂😂😂
This wasn't the eclipse everyone had in mind for that weekend 😆
Daves been eating bon bons on the couch watching that segment over and over.
😂😂😂😂😂
Bully’s scenario to fix this had some good ideas but it doesn’t justify why The Rock needed this now. The Rock may be 50 but he has all the money and resources to get in great shape for NEXT years Wrestlemania. Not to mention that we all know he’s practically the most powerful man in the company under Ari Emmanuel and can have this match whenever.
Even if The Rock does acknowledge Cody Rhodes, that main event is still going to bomb regardless, and will be met with a similar level of rejection that the main event of Wrestlemania 34 received.
something I don't think was mentioned is that mania is in Philly. If they go with Roman and Rock for the main event, you dont think the crowd is going to boo the hell out of them? Remember when Roman won the rumble and the rock came out to save him and the crowd booed them both. That was in Philly. Philly might be the absolute worst city to do Rock vs Roman at
Goodness i didnt think i could love Bubba Ray more than i could but damn his booking and storytelling of these events now are majestic!!!!!
Agreed
He’s better than HHH in that dept
It's remarkable
The only issue with Bully's scenario is Damian Priest and the Money in the Bank briefcase. You know whoever wins, Cody or Seth, is dropping the belt to Damian right after the match.
When this all first happened I felt like this is a way to get a 3 way between Seth/Damian/Drew to get the belt off Seth and let him heal up
0:06 Drew McIntyre: I slept like a baby too, Dave 😊
When he came back in Jan 1st, was it not obvious what we were getting?
Dave, you and that 600,000 need to take your meds.
Dudes... you just gave my hopes up for the MSG and the whole family story sitting on the side making sure Roman doesn't have any help. Like, I just saw it in my head, and now I need that.
I love how Mark Henry is such a fan of wrestling! getting goosebumps just thinkin about a scenario, that's a real one right there
Dave LeGreca's passion for wrestling is INSANE and unlike anything I have ever seen! I love this show so much
I'm loving every bit of this anger and drama. The Rock can become the new Mr. McMahon character (minus the perversion and ass-kissing club)
I'm pretty sure LaGreca could describe the aroma of Cody's ring gear with passionate detail.
They expected Cody to get elevated with this move, that much I'm sure. What WWE didn't expect was the backlash the Rock would get, at least not to the magnitude that it has. My biggest problem with this is that now it's the elephant in the room, and every match, whether Cody is in it or not, will have to suffer the consequences of the fans' backlash. Sure, the talent will be up for the challenge, but I don't think WWE realized how this would move the goalposts for everyone.
“🗣️ONCE WE SEE THAT CARD MADE OFFICIAL ALL WE CAN DO IS ASSUME RESPECTFULLY👌🏼”!!!
they've been teasing Rock vs Roman at WrestleMania since the beginning of football season.. The Rock came back weeks before royal rumble talking about sitting at the head of the table... the writings been on the wall..
Him and Roman literally was on tv doing promos. Lol Cody nowhere in sight
Agreed team rock. Wwe could of had cody win the title last year they failed
exactly
@@dangelobrown87congratulations you go for a egotistical selfish PR robot who doesn’t care about what happens in the wrestling business but as long it makes him look like the hero it will prosper gtfo you’re blind
They literally had no idea the Rock was going to headline a week ago. No way he's in shape enough to put on anything worth watching.
Poor Dave looks like he is having a bad day. Bad enough to break out the pink robe. Pink robe aside he looks like Butt-Head from the movie Beavis and Butt-Head Do America when he "scores" by getting a cavity search by the female police officer 😂
The Rock WrestleMania insertion is to distract from the Vince McMahon scandal. They made that decision to shock the fans and give them something to talk about.
I think the only way this is salvageble is if the rock turns heel if he wins the title and puts Cody over at SummerSlam.
LaGreca has been crying all weekend! 😂😂😂😂😂
