Welcome to the very first edition of the Bully Ray Show Podcast on Busted Open.

Royal Rumble Recap. I got it for you.

I'm breaking it all down, the men's rumble, the women's rumble, and oh my god.

What an amazing main event, fighting opera at its finest.

Sit down, turn this show on, kick your feet up, get a cold one, and enjoy the Bully Ray Show right here on the Busted Open Podcast.

When you talk about talent that got made in the rumbles, there's a whole, you know, go over and get over.

And I'm almost assuming you're talking about the men's match in which Cody went over, but I'll be damned if Gunther did not get over.

Gunther was made last night going in at number one in the men's royal rumble and elasting until the end.

It's almost the shame that he couldn't get the victory and obviously we know why Cody got the victory, but I think it speaks volumes to Gunther being able to survive the entire match more than Cody actually winning.

It's easy to come in at 30 and win the rumble. It is not easy to start at number one.

And let me pull back the curtain here. Okay, we're talking about sports entertainment folks and we get it and we're on board. We understand what's going on.

But you start that rumble at number one and you're in there for over an hour underneath those bright lights with the level of physicality of a Gunther.

All of the blows that you're going to have to, you know, withstand in that match, everything that you have to get through in that match.

It is not easy to have all that guess in your tank, because you got to remember, once all of the other participants were eliminated, Gunther and Cody were going at it.

They had a nice little match. And Gunther had tons of deaths in his tank.

So, you know, I thoroughly agree with what you said about other people being made in the matches, my, you know, I was thinking about this at the end of the show.

So, I think people would definitely give the entire pay-per-view a thumbs up.

Because there was a real good taste left in everybody's mouth with that last match. Remember what we always talk about, you know, the only thing that they remember is the finish.

The finish to that pay-per-view was outstanding. It was a great match, but the aftermath, the, the angle that they did afterwards was probably some of the best stuff I've seen it a long time.
