Hey guys, this is Denise Alcedo with the world's strongest man, Mark Henry.

And welcome to the Busted Open podcast.

To kick off the show, Mark and I react to the newest entrance in the last time is now tournament.

This is the busted open podcast.

I want to get into the fact that they're doing a 16 man tournament because this was recently announced

that at the last show, Saturday night's main event when they made this, you know,

announcement that the 16 man tournament was going to even go down.

A lot of people were wondering, you know, hey, how is this going to happen?

You know, who's going to be, who is going to be John Cena's last opponent has been the number one talked about things

since the second we found out that John Cena was retiring?

So, Mark, I kind of want to start there with just your thoughts on the fact that they're doing a 16-man tournament

and how you felt when they made that announcement

that this would be going on for the next six weeks.

I thought it was awesome because I always like tournaments.

You know, being a professional athlete and competing in multiple tournaments and being on the size of brackets and

scouting your opponents and, you know, all of the like.

I think that that adds another element into pro wrestling that we don't get very often.

And, you know, you want that.

Then it comes down to who do you get sided with in the first

round and is that somebody that you match up with well if you're a six foot 180 pound guy,

you get matched up with a Bronson Reed like guy.

That could be a sucky day.
