And what happened between Cody and Brock Lesnar? What are we going to see at Backlash? More importantly, what's the future of Cody Rhodes before and after his match with Brock Lesnar at Backlash?

We get into it right now on the Busted Open podcast.

We've seen so many times. I mean they get to each other. They pull them off. They go dive over the pile and then they pull them apart and then other person gets loose and they go.

I thought it was very good to not let them touch and we almost got it and then you see a whole nother wave of security come and push Cody back all the way to the ring.

Like I thought that was that was very good. I don't know if I would have used the word coward.

I would have turned it to what it really was. Brock is a bully. I mean like you're a bully. You what America is kind of founded on right now.

The whole lot of bullying in the news from politics to race relations. This is just school. The schools are allowing bullying and nobody wants to get sued.

They act as to all the other parents needs. Well my kid gets they did this to my kid and so you're going to allow your kid to go do it back rather than say hey if everybody stones each other everybody dies.

That's what I got out of Cody and Brock. I felt like Cody them not getting to each other made me want it more and Cody the term you know calling Brock a coward I think was a little you know out of line unless that was your intention.

Because you and I we both grew up in the area where we saw Muhammad Ali fight George Foreman Ali said I cannot beat him just going man the man he is physically more man than I am.

I have to think I have to make him blow himself up Ali made him made George Foreman so bad and he said well how can I get him he said he's going to have to hit me in order to get me.

So I'm going to pull his head down the entire match by the end of the match he'll be cramping in the back of his neck and shoulders he'll be tight he'll be angry at me he's going to he's not going to think about his breathing and pacing all he's going to think about is killing me.

And that was how Ali beat Foreman he tricked him and George said years and years later he said I never in my whole box in life been that angry at a man I wanted to hurt him and that was his that was the trick is he made me blow myself up and I listen Cody Cody had dusty.

You don't think that dusty is told Cody that story how you break down a big man boy I can see it right now like a rocky movie dusty talking to Cody one of these days son you're going to run it through a big giant he's going to do this he's going to do that but you can't fall into you can't fall prey to his to his size you're going to have to be cunning.

You're going to have to have thinking you're going to have to be David from the Bible you can't go out there and be a lion you wasn't born a lion you got to trick him and if Cody's intention was that last night I think he got it in day.

Well that's the thing mark it's like you you hear that you're like calling him a coward calling him out wanting him to come out there like that's just you feel like that's poking the bear and the last thing you want to do for a Brock Lesnar is poke the bear and get him angry but what you're saying right now and I didn't think about it mark.

But it's so true because when you look at Brock Lesnar and you look at Cody Rhodes you're like how the hell can a Cody Rhodes beat a Brock Lesnar Brock Lesnar is twice his size I mean look at Cody Cody's a great professional wrestler Cody's a great athlete but Brock Lesnar is a beast all Brock Lesnar needs to do is get a hold to Cody and break him but what you're saying is playing mind games and maybe that's the way that you beat a Brock Lesnar is getting inside his head.

You know what I'm going to use your words against you about I guess it was probably about six eight months ago we were talking about movies and you brought up Roadhouse remember the movie Roadhouse you talk about I love the movie Roadhouse you remember what old boy told him he's like they fight in the big dude and he said hey I hit him in the knee a few times.

He just dropped like a stone strategy you have got to have a game plan and when he kicked that dude in the knee and he kicked him again and he went down to one knee and then he was right there in his face for him to give him the cook dig raw it was a system he systematically broke him down we just talked about that in first hour.

Like Cody is going to have to outthink Brock and we're going to have to go back and go wow look at that we never saw Brock never saw it coming that's that's what we're going to need in this match and you know Brock is amazing in the way that Brock Lesnar can come back and be the biggest baby face or Brock can come back and be the biggest deal like I don't know if there's any other wrestler that I can think of off the top of my head.
