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

On today's episode, the Innovator of Violence, the landlord at the House of Hardcore,

and the heart and soul of professional wrestling Tommy Dreamer and I talk about AEW Dynamite

from last night. I mean, the classic emotional promo from MJF, also Eddie Kingston's promo

with Jericho, and we sit down with Killer Cross right now on The Busted Open Podcast.

Let's start Tommy with what I thought was without a doubt the best part of the show.

You may even go further about what we saw in that segment with MJF last night.

I mean, wow, you talk about emotions, you talk about emotional investment, you talk about

personal and how to grab a crowd. MJF was able to do that last night.

Realism is the best part of any promo. One of the things I'm enjoying the most about AEW is

their storytelling and it's their storytelling on the microphone from last week with Moxley and

Danielson with punk and MJF to this week. There has been some compelling, compelling television

of why people are wrestling each other. This story took a whole new turn and whether it is true

or not, I loved punk coming down there. I love the non-microphone. Is it true? Is it true?

This makes me want to continue to watch this story and I'm sure it's going to unfold next week

going into this paper view. But money, money, promo, there's a lot of truth to what was said.

MJF has been crushing it. But it was the first time where we've seen him show from last week

when he didn't say anything to this week where it's vulnerability, which if you're a heal man,

you're setting up your baby face who is seeing him punk great, but it's such great television.
