      Dave gets way to emotional when he feels Cody is not getting the star treatment Dave thinks he deserves. Dave got pissed about Roman going over at Mania 39, but it was the right call at the time. Cody had only been back for 6 months and he leaped frogged his way into a title match with Roman then. He needed at least a year to go through the trials and tribulations of a underdog babyface to set up his match with Roman at Mania 40. Roman actually was going to put Cody over at Mania 39 but Triple H and the brass knew that the sale to Endeavor was happening and made the call to keep the title on Roman, since he was and even in his absence, the face of the company. Now everybody is going ape shit wanting Roman to comeback and win the title but at this point in his career, Roman doesn't need a title to be relevant with the fans. Plus Roman coming back is about retribution with the Bloodline. It has nothing to do with Cody. Dave's really going to stroke out when Cody turns heel. Dave, you are not a shill, you're a mark.

    @Alonzo_R. Месяц назад +21

    I didn't have any issues with the documentary. The Rock put himself into the match on Friday Night Smackdown. The fans live in the arena accepted it and you can watch the footage to see this. However the online reaction was the complete opposite. The fans online outright rejected Roman vs Rock (RUclips, IG, Twitter, etc.) They also booed the match at the live events that weekend. So guess what by the following Thursday at the press conference they announced Roman vs Cody as the official WM main event. The issue was resolved in LESS than a week LOL. Now could you make the case that Rock should not have said a segment of fans didn't want it. But contrary to popular belief there are still casual fans who may not have known what was going on with Cody so they may have just known Rock (Attitude Era, Movies, etc.) Nonetheless Rock Hunter and the crew made the right decision and delivered the match the fans all wanted to see. Roman vs. Cody happened and Cody finished his story. Bully is correct in that if he was truly an egomaniac he would not have listened to the fans but he did. Regardless of how we got there we got to desired result and people still get upset. 🤣🤣

    It’s very simple Rock vs Roman would have happened at WrestleMania 39 but Vince was still in control at the time. Once Vince got out of there, TKO took over, Rock got on the board and got ownership of his name, likeness, catch phrases, etc. that’s when he everything went into motion. People were asking for Rock vs Roman for years before Cody even came back to WWE. Cody finishing his story is not bigger than the bloodline story clearly because he’s still involved with the bloodline 😂.

It was too important, and we would not give it up this year, not even for The Rock. Or the Bloodline. 📕

    Again, Mark, AKA Bubba Ray, is the voice of a veteran wrestler. Dave, try listening to your co-host (Otherwise he might have to put you through a table...). You have it in for the Rock. Passion is good, but so is reason, business, etc. It seems that the Rock is being in character (Heel Rock) and also promoting the next match (Rock vs Roman). While the rock has an ego (all top pro wrestlers do), as a member of the TKO board, he is in the business of promoting the product. I love your passion but try to read between the lines. What is behind what you see? What are other layers that are being created?
    In addition, if you listen to other interviews with the Rock, he honestly made a mistake and flatly admitted it. His thinking was to do Rock vs Roman a few years ago, but for scheduling reasons, it did not work out. For WrestleMania 40, his schedule was cleared, so he and Triple H thought it would be a good idea. The fans revolted, the Rock wisely pivoted, and we got WrestleMania 40. As it turned out, without the Rock being involved (think of all his social media posts and eyes he brought to his run). WrestleMania would not have done as well. So, Dave, have a seat, take a drink, and testify, brother!
    As Mark said, many times, Vince did not listen to the crowd, and it backfired (i.e., WrestleMania 20, Brock vs Goldberg, Roman in 2015. Wrestling booking is complex, and as Dusty Rhodes said, if what you planned in your head works 70% in the ring, you are a great booker.
    Having the Rock in TKO is a blessing for WWE. And that is the bottom line. :)

    Still doesn't make sense why Cody won the Rumble. If the plan was for Rock to face Roman, why would you have Cody win and point to Roman from the ring. If Cody was planned to face Roman, then it's even more stupid to have Cody give up his championship match a few days later.

    This was a hard watch, usually love Busted Open but this was crazy over the top.
    The rock gave us the most entertaining Wrestlemania build ever.
    Dave needs take a step back on this one
