2:42 you also have to remember Solo screaming at Roman at Mania. "Finish him" and Roman saying: "I know"
i noticed this shit too it was like hey now whats up with this 👀
Yup all part of the setup.
I noticed that. Solo was pissed with Roman.
That's when we knew Solo was taking over
Haha o yes i was oof solo’s getting impatient!! 😮
I get Faces of Fear vibes from the thought of Tama Tonga and Jacob Fatu together.
WWE is not WCW. Can we let this story be told before dumping on it.
Why is nobody seeing this TWGH, Finally, there's somebody else who sees what's going on. Babyface bloodline Roman and the Usos vs Heel bloodline Solo, Tama, and the "Samoan Werewolf" Jacob Fatu, I believe he is the tribal chief Tonga had mentioned to Paul, that's not a spoiler that's a prediction!!..😂
@@brucedavis8625maybe, I think the Rock is the tribal chief, I think Jacob Fatu will be another member, another henchman.
2nd gen Samoan Swat Team feels to me
@garymaidman625 Solo is the tribal chief since Roman is gone, but I believe Rock is giving the orders to Solo since The Rock is High Chief
Tama Tonga is also a founding member of the Bullet Club.
I don’t think they are reforming g the Bullet club
Yes he is but that group belongs in aew not the WWE
More importantly he and Tonga are G.O.D…Tama is a tag team wrestler.
@@benjaminvalenti1242 Bullet Club is from NJPW.
@@benjaminvalenti1242 true
Not only would Roman get a big pop if he was gone for 6 months but imagine the pop, after the six months, if he comes in to save Paul or the Usos from getting beat down. Hell, imagine the pop if he ran in to save Cody Rhodes from the new bloodline. All these ideas got me feeling like a kid all over again. Wrestling has, not only gotten cool again, but it's also gotten fun and exciting again. Can't wait to see what the next year holds!
Why would he save Cody?
@@mroptimistprime-bj4lz I didn't say he would, it would just be awesome if he did. Let a man dream! 🤣😂
@@mroptimistprime-bj4lz I swear why saving the guy who for 2 years was a pain in my ass and wanted my belt let him burn. But for the others yeah!!!
Nah nah cody why cody
Why would roman save cody
Maybe because he underestimated Cody and trying to redeem himself. On the way to beat the rock at WrestleMania 41 or 42.
I saw some fan video of Solo vs Jey in the dark match after Smackdown, and you could already see a big change in the way Solo acted. He interacted with the audience quite a bit, talking a lot, being very expressive. Can't wait to see this new side of him unveiled as the weeks go on.
Can't wait for him to go unhinged
He needs to try to get his fat ass in shape, I know that much.
I agree with Dave, solo put himself into a main event level this past week. Felt like hhh taking over dx the night after hbk lost to Austin.
The best comparison I can think of!
I was ready for the bloodline to end for awhile but when the rock came back and progressed the story i got interested again now with tama tonga and possibly jacob fatu
Jacob Fatu and Tama Tongas brother Hakeleo is coming Cody Rhodes beware.
BLOODLINE CIVIL WAR!!!!!!!!! Enter Jacob Futu!!!!!!!
He has 7 kids, he needs it! lol
The Usos are getting back together
High Chief is above the tribal chief, high chief acknowledging the tribal chief only means he accepts him to represent his family in the tribal hierarchy. Rock is a high chief!
@@joesiler9620 we will see what happens at the draft
And bring ZILLA with him!!!!
An ongoing excellent storyline making a debut of someone wwe audience doesn't know, so impactful and instantly relevant. Tony khan should take notes. All he does is ruin the momentum of the free agents he signed
Irs always weird to me hear wwe fans not knowing anything about wrestling outside of wwe because I'm like you don't know who that is really im like he was part of the og bullet club or with AJ Styles being in TNA and ROH
@@Chewbacca89you are thinking of wwe fans as a whole, remember they have a higher percentage of casual fans. the hardcores do know outside of wee but it’s always in sections, some know the british scene, some know the japan scene, but wwe in general has casual fans that know there are other wrestling promotions but don’t really look into it.
@@Chewbacca89 i know who he is. Majority of casual wwe fans don't. Idk why you are crying about not knowing something. I had no idea who leo di caprio was before titanic and that's fine because titanic was global powerhouse which brought him recognition and movies before that were good but not a juggernaut. His previous movies only made him recognized among his peers and some watchers. Titanic made him relevant for ages. Like he could have stopped working after titanic and still everyone would know him. Wwe is titanic in wrestling, it makes you recognized and whatever tama tonga did before that is simoly indy regional cinema, it's good, gives him recognition in his peers and people who watch regional stuff but it's not titanic or wwe. Simply it's normal for wwe fans to not know him. Just like people don't watch all movies and know all actors and aren't expected to same way people don't need to know all wrestlers or watch all wrestling promotions. Ted talk over.
@@zzrr933because these neckbeards like to gate keep wrestling and they thinking knowing more about other fans makes them invincible. Like wow he knows Tama Tonga!! So does everyone in the IWC for the past 10 years.
@@zzrr933 I'm not crying I just find it funny in a way when I tell them who they are and their just like what's TNA whats ROH or NJPW I haven't watched any British indie companies to my knowledge but I might be wrong there might have been a few but either way I understand what you are saying
I'm ready for Bloodline: Samoan Civil War.
I would love to even see Tamina and Nia Jax even get in on it. Tamina is still signed, but just not being used on TV.
im ready foir the bloodline to be over already this is so dumb to keep it going
@@davidcoombsbestmegadethalb9780 you sound like a jabroni and thrash metal is dumb
@@NoPitBullLeftBehindTamina retired
@@NoPitBullLeftBehindDakota Kai is Samoan
25:49 HHH worked for NXT and now works for main roster. He knows "What's best for business"
Yeah, giving you all his indy darlings with no storylines or personalities attatched to them. Including Johnny Sameface and Hobo Sami Zayn.
@@caterpie911 Johnny Gargano had multiple storylines in NXT, from his long running feud with Ciampa, the matches with Cole, and his own group.
Zayn just had one of the best matches on WM 40, and the pop of the night last night.
What kind of bathtub meth are you smoking?
@@WarGhoulKharas "You were my friend and betrayed me" is the only program besides long matches with injury-prone indy marks is all that Noseman knows how to do. I mean he even brought back Shit Row and that fat Oompah Loompah Bronson Reed. And if you seriously think that that match was one of the best, then the one smoking is you. A guy who looks like the homeless brother of Spike Dudley gets beat around by a guy that should realistically squash him im 10 seconds, only to get up, no sell the entire match, and win after a brainbuster and two kicks is just embarrassing nothing more. And then he continues to no sell the match and celebrate.
Lay off the meth or bath salts. Move out of the trailer park. Do better. @@caterpie911
You people suck
I like the menacing looks Solo gives. Especially the look he gave Paul when he looked at his tapped thumb then quickly glanced at Paul, and Paul getting scared.
Solo was always expressive and would talk sh*t on NXT quite often on the mic , he had the personality of his family he was just good at being stoic. And less goofy
Thank you guys, this was an awesome, Busted Open episode. Bloodline more incredible stories future 👌 . Bully and Mark wrestling wisdom is fantastic .Blue print , Matt Morgan is the same way in gigantic pop podcast.
This right here was a top tier cross analysis, BOTTOM LINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can honestly say there's NOBODY doing it like this trio on the Busted Open Podcast is doing the damn thing. Mark has been established as having a brilliant business sense for the wrestling industry, but Bully really hasn't received his due diligence like he should've long ago so it's absolutely great seeing him take it by force!!!!!!! This is what gold looks like.
I love it when Bubba talks his creative thoughts it gets me excited all the time TKO NEED HIM
4:57 No Solo debuted at Clash of the castle. He screwed Drew
also something to think about down the road, Drew didn't forget what happened I doubt he'll just let that go, it'll be longterm storytelling
Good to see evryone is a fan of WWE regardless where they are WWE is cooking these past few years
Facts. I was getting sleepy at the 2hr point of Raw when Vince was in control over Raw the past decade
1:07
Iconic.
SOMEBODY GON’ GET THEIR WIG SPLIT
I marked out 😂
Lmao. Yeah hall of pain mark..friggin legendary.
I liked this conversation. Yall should’ve kept going. Cant wait for Raw tonight 🔥
I just clicked because of Mark's shirt 😂😂😂
Zila should go to NXT
If someone from Busted Open reads this, can you ask Mark where he got that shirt?! Those are 3 of my dads childhood heroes and would look to snag him one for Father's Day. Thanks!
i love tama tonga so much and i love tha bloodline so much and I am so happy that tama and his brother they are in tha WWE.
Jacob Fatu and then Zilla. GAME OVER
TK needs to take lessons
i hope not, love to see more clown show
I wish he would...... wrestling would be better for it
AEW sucks right now aside from most of the matches
Tony needs to do great stories to make people want to tuned in
@@JordanODash stop already they have good stories already and feuds same old lame comments from haters there not doing storylines that never end only difference AEw doesnt suck
@@davidcoombsbestmegadethalb9780 so you say ?
No need to get tribal here my chief....
Why is Will and Bryan D fighting again ?
Swerve and Joe ?
What's Mercedes doing again ?
Jericho and Hook ?
Power house Hobbs about to walk out of another group for the 4x ?
Bucks V FTR
U come at me like the enemy coz you hv ur AEW blinders on
But I am just saying I would watch the matches at or after the PPV but I have no vested interest in following weekly episodes coz I know the matches will be good but no real build that makes you want to tune in next week and find out..... and the no.s r saying the same thing ( viewership and attendance) so I have facts on my side not just emotions......
@@JordanODash is there a point to your comments
I’m here in uk and I fucking love your guys podcast and bully’s passion everything he says you know he absolutely means ..no b.s from the bully keep up the awesome discussions great content guys ..💪🏽
Looking forward to see how this develops.
This bloodline shit is going to be as good as nWo 2000. 😂
Just wait for Double J and Big Poppa Pump to return as Bloodline Wolfpac to help Solo/Tama/Jacob Fatu/X to take Tribal Chief crown.
Roman is not locking his wounds like you say he is
If you watched his ticktock
Roman himself said yesterday we mourned today is day 1
So he is starting his next chapter which is going not a baby face heel but a nerdy aggressive villionus heel so watch out he is still the tribal Chief ☝🏼
I remember saying if HHH did the Main Roster like NXT, it would be great. I remember when people calling the Main Roster NXT 3.0 like it was a bad thing when HHH took over when Vince left for 9 months. Not only did it happen but this is better than I thought it would be. Best Wrestlmania in a while and it will be remembered for a while.
Man hhh was cooking in nxt to the point it had an arena show. Nxt Brooklyn🔥
@@SaulAguilar. all those Takeovers were getting a buzz before NXT even got on regular Television. The Revival vs DIY was special and the first match I remember after buying the network for…9.99 😂
I agree with Bully about Sikoa regarding the onion peeling starting to happen, a part of his maturation
I busted when Tama Tonga showed up
No diddy
Diddy
Solo made his main roster debut at Clash At The Castle or am I wrong?
Good to see mark back 💥
I would love to hear from Busted Open, from Dave, Bully, Dreamer and Mark when Jacob Fatu finally debut for WWE
How long will it be til Tanga Loa comes to Wwe? Wonder how much longer his contract is or if he's looking at a buy out....
Everybody:
That segment was amazing!!! WWE is on 🔥🔥
Bully:
Hated It! It could’ve been better. Just my opinion.
Let’s just hope solo can take that role organically because I have doubts about him being the lead guy
Bro that thumbnail scared the hell out of me 😭
Mark Henry look like he can wrestle one more match. He's a huge guy. He's healthy.
They are setting up the Usos reunion. They will feud with Jey eventually, probably after the draft. Jimmy will return and save Jey. This will lead to Jacob Fatu joining Solo's version of The Bloodline.
Then the Usos will be outnumbered which will probably lead to the original Bloodline reuniting with Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn.
Then we will get the reveal that Rock is the one calling the shots and not Solo and we might get a War Games: Bloodline Civil War that will culminate with Roman vs. Rock at Mania.
That's just my opinion.
Jacob Fatu been killing it Thanks PAPA H 🙏
I have total faith in HHH’s booking 🔥🔥🔥🔥
💯
someone has too he isnt a good booker
TOTAL. He’s earned it 💯
17:15 oh my goodness this is great. Such a great idea
If you remember when solo debuted on the main roster, heyman said solo was sent from the elders to be romans enforcer, and roman himself gave the blessings to solo to be his heir of the bloodline,
15:35 lmaoo bubba had me with this one 😂
One last thought which I think would be awesome if new Tagteam Title that has one male tagteam parter and one female tagteam partner. These titles could be the WWE Mixed Tag Team titles and even when booking they could add a 3rd belt and have 3 on 3 matches to help with even more diversity of matches but then could have matches that stipulate whichever extra person gets pinned first on each team is removed from the belt. So many variations and options for programming here.
I think some things could be done nowadays like others in past had done and these pro wrestlers could handle working together and be safe while doing it. We could have husband/wife teams and storylines never told before. Like Seth Rollins/Becky Lynch, Jimmy Uso/Naomi, Andrade/Charlotte Flair, CM Punk/AJ Lee (bring her in), Dominik Mysterio/Rhea Ripley (even though just kayfabe, Carmella/Corey Graves lol, Karrion Kross/Scarlett, Chelsea Green/Matt Cardona (bring him in), The Miz/Maryse, Bianca Belair/Montez Ford, Cody/Brandi Rhodes, Johnny Gargano/Candice LaRae, any others. So many options and combinations.
Just some random ideas- maybe some cool matchups here.
so no promo video? how will anyone know who he is?
If could be the new bloodline vs OG bloodline similar to what happen in the Bullet Club and strangely enough Tama was a founding member of Bullet Club and made that same faction in New Japan
Solo is getting the Dave Bautista style of training! lol also, hows this for the bood line story line... Solo takes over for now, Roman and the Rock BOTH come back for the head of the table, they have a family war type of feud where Roman turns face, but Solo and Tonga end up winning out and form an all new line up.
I can't wait for The Samoan Werewolf debut
That nickname is so badass.
Waiting on Tango Loa. Guerrillas of Destiny vs The Usos WRESTLEMANIA 41
Getting Hikuleo and Tonga Loa would be a something. Haku walking along side them with Rock calling him uncle would be even better. But what if down the line we get an OC reunion? Tama, Finn, AJ, and the Good Brothers just for good old times. I doubt Fale will join WWE in 5 years since he's happy at New Japan still.
27:49 great point.
Give me war games:
OG Bloodline vs New Bloodline.
Roman, the usos, and a fourth. Vs rock, solo, Fatu, and Tonga.
Cody as the surprise fourth
Nice to see Tama Tonga join the Bloodline, helps freshen up the group.
2:05 man every time I think about mania and Roman hitting Seth with the chair I just can’t help but dream of the day that we get the proper Shield triple threat match at mania that we all deserve. I have faith in HHH.
I just noticed Bullyray, l know he
has very valuable information.👍
Nice interview
WWE hitting on all cylinders 👏
Roman already said that Solo was the next Tribal Chief in line
I think anything The Bloodline does is going to be better than whatever they do w/ Cody. If Cody doesn't add a lil edge he's in trouble
Great stuff fellas
Don't forget at one point Ronan did say Solo was going to be the next Tribal Chief. I'm guessing they are going to play it that since Roman couldn't get the job done so $olo now is, and there will probably be a match for who is the Tribal Chief between Roman and Solo and it will literally be a Bloodline civil war.
Mark Henry's shirt is awesome. Blue Demon!
The rock’s final boss character makes this storyline so much better
Another storyline I think they are of course teasing is Bo Dallas coming back as Uncle Howdy with the others coming back and joining. I’ve always said they have some much history and storylines with the Undertaker, Kane, Mankind bring them back in a storyline with the Wyatt 6. I mean create some awesome characters with some new upcoming superstars that are creative/different/some could be great but are just boring as their own name (gimmicks don’t have to be hokie) and in the vein of Mark Callaway, Glenn Jacobs, and Mick Foley. I really think you could have them be relatives of Taker/Kane and then Mankind has trained some “new thinking out-of-the-box” characters. Then I think you could utilize cool appearances from Taker Kane Mankind. Not just them as regular people but as entities and have appearances of them in their vintage outfits but maybe with some cool effects and CGI holograms nowadays. These 3 amazing superstars could also be mentors/managers like Paul Bearer was for each of them. This could be insanely awesome. Maybe someone could align with Uncle Howdy and be his manager at some point too like Taker with his urn or Mankind with the glowing smoking lantern. I believe these three could also just pop in as cameos in crazy ways in this storyline and just use each on randomly as needed so fits in their schedule. Maybe each one of Paul Bearers sons: Taker, Kane, and Mankind could have experiences at events with Paul Bearer’s urn and eventually the urn gives out light then lights out, smoke, music lights and new sons, new daughters of the urn, Paul Bearer, emerge. We could pay homage to William Moody “Percival ‘Percy’ Pringle III” in this storyline too. All involved could. If Wyatt 6 make a Phenom Family made up of 6. Then some interesting feuds here and then could cross over to the Bloodline and Judgement and LWO etc. Hope someone sees this. Come on Bruce Prichard, Triple H, Stephanie listen to me here and hire me as creative team. I’ve been fan all my life and Taker is my fav- listen to me here!!! We need some characters with intrigue like Taker Kane Mankind were. We need some characters with mystery. Like how Darth Vader was- who is here what is he really like under it all. Realism in character stories is important but so is creativity, character development and evolution of the character through time. A New Ministry of Darkness/Brothers of Destruction/Sisters of Destruction could be cool concept in all this. Mankind should definitely be back and as a brother now- all brought together by Paul Bearer and the power in and of the urn.
Thumbnail looks like an online ransom attempt by Mark 😂
I'm glad haku has his representative now too. If he truly is like the old man ....
This was excellent. All three hosts so good!! This is exciting times. I do hope we see a Bloodline WarGames (Roman Bloodline v. The Rock Bloodline). I believe Paul Heyman should have more control over creative in the Bloodline storyline. He should go with the new Bloodline but be playing the Stab then in the back violin. I also like to see Paul be used in more creative lead with Triple H. In the whole company. I hope they add Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga’s brother. Zilla should come later- years later. The Rock’s bloodline could be Solo, Tama, Jacob, and Tama’s brother v. Roman’s bloodline could be Jey, Jimmy, and some surprise members. Roman comes back in 6 months as babyface would be awesome. 5 v. 5 mayhem!!
Maybe introduce some new members with the Uso’s on Raw in next few months. Build up the family.
I wonder if Rikishi and Haku will play a role at some point. Those two were a highly underrated tag team some twenty five years ago in the peak of the attitude era. It’s a shame they’re likely past the point of being able to work a match, although Haku is still arguably one of the most dangerous men on the planet even in his mid sixties.
Enter Zilla Fatu and the Super Samoan Spike. TH-cam it. It's so sick!
i like daves shirt Busted F'N Open
Disclaimer: Tony Khan feared for his life when Tama Tonga showed up on SmackDown and later called AEW a “midcard” company 😂
your wrong
Mark Henry needs to join the Blodline with The Rock nation of Bloodline
maybe a nation vs bloodline tho
you guys rock
Somebody tell Blubber Ray that it's called the Samoan Spike because it's a tribute to Umaga. Hence why they do not call it the "asiatic spike" lol.
Wrong. Was a Samoan spike decades before Umaga was able to wipe his rear end
@@pinkribbonskies5731 Solo has even said he does the move as a tribute specifically to Umaga, but go on genius lol.
Tonga's got those senpaku eyes!! Hahah looking real good
Man I always was saying that about NXT. It was the best at the time to me. Raw, Smackdown, and Dynamite. Was second for me.
lol love ya’lls Haka faces. & you’re right. A lot of poly wrestlers use that “haka face”. Umaga & Jacob fatu also do it very well but tama has another level
I think the rock will come back before summer slam. He's got to make a big difference heading into January before Netflix
The Bloodline Multiverse🙌
solo and tommy both acknowledged a new chief on smackdown how yall missed them saying it IDK?????? Jacob Fatu new Tribal Chief INC
love Yoko, love Rosey, love Rikishi, love The Rock etc.. but I feel like if Umaga was here? maaan. now THAT is the Grand Tribal Chief
I was so ready to stop watching WWE if Roman won at Wrestlemania. Now I’m excited to see him return and excited for this new bloodline warfare. Also excited to watch Toma Tonga in WWE.
Since they spoiled the main event for WM41 with Cody n Rock, how do u keep Cody interesting?
Yo what if Rikishi is the tribal chief behind the scenes?? Lol that would be crazzzyyyy
Facts
Might explain why he wasn't present at WrestleMania 40; WWE might be saving him for something else.
Soooo after all this time... The Rock did it for 'Kishi? Kishi finally becoming the Samoan Godfather he should've been lol
@@miguelladinodevera614 lol the tribal godfather
SOLO lost to jey after on smackdown so what happens then? who should take him out?
Jay and Jimmy will get back together when Solo and Tama become more established. There will probably a tag team match there somewhere. Roman shouldn't come back as a face though.
Before it was called the "Asiatic Spike" Terry Gordy brought it to WCCW in Dallas in the 80's and it was called the "Oriental Spike".
Solo - Wins and loses matters..
Meanwhile Solo who lost like 40+ matches since beating Cena
That's why I don't think he's taking over as the Tribal Chief; I think he's remaining as enforcer and the new Tribal Chief will be Jacob Fatu.
He has 1 clean loss to Orton, a no contest with Seth, and 6 tag matches where Jimmy ate the pin. Nobody cares about house shows.
The usos vs tama Tonga and Jacob fatu
My guess is rock roman and usos vs Tama Tonga, Solo Sikoa and Zilla & Jacob
Seth Rollins and R-Truth are lowkey the foundation of this great era HHH is leading.
Where is the pink robe? Cody won, where is the pink robe???????
If they do have a bloodline civil war you gotta bring in jacob and zilla just the zilla and solo storyline would be a great one
Don't forget Jacob Fatu's potential role in the Bloodline.
Y'all think they could bring in Nia and have some female aspects to the bloodline?
Damn bloodline story is crazy overshadowing Cody’s reigns atm
Bubba as a manager to somebody in WWE would work wonders
