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

On today's episode myself, Mark Henry and Bully Ray talk about WWE's fast lane from this past Saturday.

You're new, undisputed WWE tag team champions Cody Roge and Jayuso, and of course Seth Rollins retaining the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

Plus we get into our big announcement, landscape changing announcement here on the Busted Open Podcast for our show tomorrow. Right now, right here on the Busted Open Podcast.

Your world champion Seth Rollins is still standing after beating Shinsuke Nakamura at Fastlane this past Saturday in your main event.

Bully, what did you think in a match? What did you think in a performance? What do you think of Seth Rollins still retaining that WWE World Heavyweight Championship?

Interesting that we came back with Elton Johns. I'm still standing and after the beating that Seth took in that match, I believe that he was standing a little too soon after the 10 count.

I would have liked to have seen them, seen Seth sell some more. Now listen, I know it's the end of the pay-per-view. I know you've got to get the beauty shot.

But during replay, it would have been nice to have Seth still down selling all of that physicality. He got misted. He got pushed off the ladder. He went through the announce table.

He took a bump off of the wherever they helped they were in the audience in the stadium. He landed on whatever he landed on that he rolled down to the to the concrete and then he did one of those one of those inverted suplexes through a table onto Nakamura.

He had been through a lot. I would have liked to have seen him selling more at the end and then finally helped up to his feet.

That's just a little point. I just think it gives the match more credibility. I think it gives Nakamura's offense on Seth Rollins more credibility.

I did like the match. I thought they did a good job. It's a it's a last man standing match. So you got to pull out all the stops. One of the things that had me scratching my head was commentary last night.

Michael Cole is phenomenal at what he does. And up until recently, you know, everybody took Cole for granted. Everybody talked shit about Cole. But recently they, you know, Seth and Cole were on the mic and call. He said he's only missed two days in the past like 25 years.

Michael Cole is a workhorse. Michael Cole is a credit to this industry. I cannot say enough great things about Michael Cole on commentary. I mean, look at who he learned from. Look at who's when he was under the King Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross.

But let's remember this. It's a last man standing match. Cole is act is like, oh, my God, don't do this. Oh, my God, don't do that. No, you're going to ruin your career. You're going to end it all.

It's a last man standing match. This is what we've come to expect. Michael, how do you expect somebody to win this match with a side headlock takeover and a Randy and a Randy Orton headlock. I mean, like to me, the commentary during this match was a little awkward because they're call us selling as if this is the end of the world. Well, it's a last man standing match. Excuse me.

Well, it was it was a little excessive, but I think some of the some of it was warranted because you have to let people know what level of danger that this is. And I thought that he was very descriptive and this not only could end his career or cause him to lose.

But this get in his career. That's I thought that was that was pretty far for the course in a in a match like that. I think you hold on Dave. Mark, I think the word excessive is a good word because it seemed like every time they did some type of crazy spot. And I didn't really see them do anything so crazy that hasn't been done before.

Something I go, oh, my God, this is too dangerous, but it seemed like every time they did something cold was reacting the same way over done excessive is a good word excessive.

Yeah, and I think you're both right in the fact that yes, it's a last man standing match. So you're going to do whatever it takes to make sure your opponent doesn't get back on their feet. But I like what call, especially bully, we're going to get into it a little bit more.
