Welcome to the Bust Open podcast. Along with the innovator of violence, Tommy Dreamer, I'm Jonathan Hood.

And on today's show, we talk about NXT's Halloween Havoc show as Ricky Saints defeated Trick Williams.

And more right here on the Bust Open podcast. This is the Busted Open podcast.

A nice crowd for Halloween Havoc yesterday.

Listen, I enjoyed the show.

I thought the crowd was really, really cool.

I got to also see traveling all these years and wrestling all these years.

You start seeing people that you recognize because they live in that area, which is pretty

cool.

And, you know, we share conversations, but I thought the crowd was hot.

I enjoyed Halloween havoc.

I watched it last night after coming home for my own wrestling.

Friday I was in Toronto.

Saturday I was kind of Dover Plains, New York, nice fundraiser, raised some money for the middle school.

And then came home and watched some good old Halloween havoc. And I enjoyed it right off the bat from top to bottom.

I thought the fans were into it. So it was cool that when you do that and then, you know,

wrestling companies realize, hey, this is a cool market, we're going to bring

our show back here. It's an old school thing that ECW used to do, but also, I mean, hell,

every wrestling company used to do it. If you could find a great place for NXT, it's small

enough to fill it and it's big enough to look bigger on television

if that makes any sense no it makes 100% sense uh i would just say that these events like a

Halloween havoc for these nxte kids i mean this is their I mean, this is their Clash of Champions. This is their Saturday Night's main event. This is the opportunity for them to shine. I like the idea that, you know, you have an NXT show that's connected to SmackDown. Smacktown was in the same general area. And then, and it's like, you know what? We've got our show.
