Welcome to the busted open podcast. This is Dave LaGrecca on today's episode WWE Hall

Famer TNA Hall Famer and one of the greatest tag team wrestlers of all time.

Bullie Ray and I break down Monday Night Raw from last night, especially that opening segment

where Kevin Owens got us all. Man, I can't wait to see what happens between Owens and Stone Gold

at WrestleMania. Speaking of WrestleMania, who the hell is Seth Rollins facing at WrestleMania?

We'll break it down right now on the busted open podcast.

I mean screw it. Let's just start with the start of Monday Night Raw right off the bat. Why not?

Because you want to grab people? They were able to do that on Raw last night.

I'm going to start off with a story this morning that might sound a little self-serving and

you know I hate doing that. But in the reason I loved last night so so much is because when it's

done right it works like a charm and it really really pisses people off. In 1998 we did that

in the Elk Slodge and Dreamer needed a mystery opponent and he didn't even know who is a mystery

partner against the duds and he didn't even know who his partner was going to be and the music hit

and it was Terry Funk's entrance music. It was Desperado and the Elk Slodge went ballistic. They

immediately stood up to their feet. They were going crazy because Terry Funk was about to come

out as a surprise and then the music stopped and me and Devon started laughing at everybody

and then we paid off the music guy because we told him to hit Funk's music. That's why and the

only reason I'm telling that story to start is because when I'm seeing it happen with Kevin Owens

and Austin and you know Chicago especially 20,000 strong to see those people get had hook line

and sinker to see the looks on their faces. There were pissed off. Oh, in that arena last night.
