Welcome to the Busted Open Podcast. This is Dave LaGrecca.

On today's episode, myself and Thunder Rosa asked the question,

does size matter? And it's an interesting one when it comes to pro-wrestling fandom.

Brian Cage, being the example, does his athleticism, his size, his strength,

actually hurt him in the eyes of wrestling fans? We talk about that plus.

We have a great story in our indie spotlight this week. And that is coming from Twitch,

Lucas DeSandro, student of the monster factory by instructor Danny Cage.

His story is one that's very emotional and one you want to hear right now on the Busted Open Podcast.

But what really threw me for a loop, Thunder, and I don't normally do this,

but I just found that strange, on Friday, last Friday, we had Brian Cage on.

And people were accusing me of baiting Brian Cage, which I didn't see coming,

like that really threw me for a loop, because the one thing that I asked him about,

and it was actually a topic on our show yesterday with Tommy Dreamer and Bullie Ray,

was about the size of the wrestlers, and it seems like an AEW that a lot of the bigger wrestlers

don't get the shine that usually wrestlers would do. And I asked him about that,

and I thought he was very, very honest. And I was very surprised, Thunder,

that there was a lot of pushback with the question I asked Brian Cage,

which I didn't think it was a disrespectful question by any stretch.

No, I was there, David. I was there. And it's just, that's what I'm saying.
