Aftermath of Pat McAfee's Reveal
🎧 Listen to the full episode on Busted Open Radio
Pat McAfee/Randy Orton storyline
Pat McAfee steps in and he takes Randy's side and tells Randy, 'Randy, you're better than you're showing. The business is failing you.'
Randy is already a 15-time world champion. Why does he need the advice or the encouragement or the support or whatever you want to call it from Pat McAfee?
WWE creative direction
I like the fact that Pat McAfee took the mantle of, 'I want the business to be more attitude era-like.' It's too predictable. The business has gotten to the point to where it's too PG.
I personally don't love the idea of being like, 'Hey guys, look at us. Our product sucks. We can't sell WrestleMania tickets.' It's a slap in the face to the people in the main event.
Randy Orton/Cody Rhodes feud
Cody has taken a good whooping and he has not faced a Randy Orton like we had in 2009. Like Randy was mopping the floor with big-time stars.
Pat McAfee/Randy Orton reveal
Why would it be Pat McAfee? That makes absolutely zero sense to the story that they are currently telling.
Cody Rhodes character development
They're making Cody seem like he doesn't have that dog in him. But can we please go back and look at the recent history of Cody Rhodes? Hell in a Cell, Cody Rhodes went into that match with a torn pec.
WWE celebrity involvement
Unless you're bringing out Taylor Swift, these tickets ain't going with celebrities. If you're going to try to go with the celebrity route, you've got to really bring in big ass celebrities.
WrestleMania booking
I thought that if you had Carmelo win and him going, 'Yeah, I'm going to WrestleMania,' you hit Dragunov music. And Dragunov goes, 'Wait a minute... I deserve to be in WrestleMania just as much as you guys.'
