Welcome to the Bust Open podcast, along with Justin Labar.

I'm Jonathan Hood.

And on today's show, we talk about Randy Orton punching his ticket for Russellmania, right here on the Busted Open podcast.

This is the Busted Open podcast.

What a night in Chicago for Elimination Chamber.

We want to get your letter grade for the event last night.

We go through the entire

week and we talk about tickets, ticket issues at the United Center. We talk about the booking.

We talk about who can win, who cannot win, how there's a problem with Triple H and all this other

stuff. It's kind of like us getting ready for game day. All the what ifs, the negatives and the positives, and we break it all down until we get to game day. And then that crest of, oh, my God, here we are with the game. Same thing with the show last night. We listened all week to Busted Open, all the stuff that was talked about leading into this, the injuries, what-ifs, the negatives. But then then you ring the bell and i just know that everyone

from eight to 80 at the united center had a fun time watching elimination chamber yeah i mean it looked

uh watching at home watching on the espn unlimited app it looked packed um we obviously know what kind of

camera angles and things they can do or not do when they want

to disguise, when any promotion wants to disguise, you know, oh, you know, we're, don't shoot

this part of the building or, you know, tickets didn't go so strong over here.

Not the case.

First time in 20, what, first time since 1994, right? So first time in 20 what first time since 1994 right so first time in 32 years yeah

since summer slam of 94 that wwe has ran the united center and it's a big ass building as you

know of course and every drone shot every camera angle you just saw people people, people, people, people everywhere, nothing being blocked off.

So, and, you know, there was some, you know, some discourse online about the crowd at different points in terms of their liveliness or reaction or lack there of at certain times, which we'll get through and

navigate through the topics over the next three hours. But overall, from a visual standpoint,

especially when they just came on the air, it was like, oh, wow, they got a hell of a crowd here.
