This is the busted open podcast. You can listen to the full show Monday through Saturday

from 9 a.m. to noon Eastern on serious XM fight nation channel 156.

Welcome to the Busted Open podcast. This is Dave LaGrecca on today's episode. Wow.

And when we just hear that Fidsmith man retires and we talk about that with Bully Ray and Mark

Henry oh and by the way we get breaking news that Triple H is now the head of creative.

We get the reaction from myself from Bully Ray from Mark Henry and also Tommy Dreamer joins the show

and gives us his reaction on all that's going on in this crazy world of the WWE right now

on the Busted Open podcast. Triple H is now the head of creative

for world wrestling entertainment and it is amazing how this business works.

Absolutely amazing to see how this story of Triple H has now come full circle

from the guy who took a developmental brand and turned it into what I considered the best pro

wrestling show on television better than Raw better than Smackdown better than Impact and

WA Dynamite anything to me NXT black and gold was the most well-rounded professional wrestling

television show. But Vince did not like the idea that the NXT black and gold brand. It's

as handed to them by AEW and Dynamite on Wednesday nights. Thus the black and gold brand was

almost made to become an afterthought extinct. And now that Vince has to step down the guy that

Vince took out of power with the black and gold brand is now the head of creative for the entire

company. Mark you know damn well in this business we never say never and nothing is really shocking

but my god what a story this is full circle. It is definitely a big story. I was not under the

impression that Triple H was taking out of power. I thought that they made the decision

to make NXT more of a developmental again based off the fact that AEW stepped up not just because

they wanted to make a change. I think it was like you said getting their ads handed to them.
