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

On today's episode, myself and Bully Ray look back at Monday Night Raw. How about that Gunther Kevin Owens match?

Also, we get into Ms. TV with Cody Rhodes and Dom Mysterio and is that World Heavyweight Championship held by Seth Rollins on the same level as the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship?

Well, the WWE thing, so we'll tell you why right now on the Busted Open Podcast.

A lot of really good matches on Monday Night Raw last night and you know what Bully, that's what a great match does because I thought Gunther looked really, really strong in what was in almost 18-minute match on TV last night.

Kevin Owens did a great job of trying to fight from behind to get back into that match at times and it was a really good story.

And again, making logical sense, you have an intercontinental championship match between Gunther and Kevin Owens, but it's not for the title, it's a non-title match.

Make sense, why would Kevin Owens deserve right now an intercontinental title match and then Gunther going over and going over strong, really good showing for both wrestlers last night on Raw?

Two points here, one about the nuts and bolts of the match and one little bit bigger picture.

You're saying that Kevin Owens does not deserve a title match, does, why not?

Why doesn't Kevin Owens deserve a title, intercontinental title shot, the same way Damien Priest deserves a shot or the reason anybody else gets a shot at any championship?

It's not like the WWE has a ranking system or any rhyme or reason to who gets shot.

As a matter of fact, Kevin Owens as a tag team champion in my eyes probably deserves a shot before anybody else that doesn't hold some type of championship gold around their waist.

But I'm glad it was a non title match because there was no story other than a backstage build up to it.

The nuts and bolts of the match that I wanted to get into is what really impressed me last night.

It was a hard hitting match, that was great, great false finishes, but it was all about the in between for me.

What I tell my students at the Team 3D Academy, it's not about what you do, it's what you do before and after what you do.

That makes the most sense.

If you go back and you watch some of the masters in the ring, like a Kurt Henning versus a Bret Hart, don't, if you watch the in between, not the nouns and the verbs.

I like the nouns and the verbs of the match, like the big moves or the big spots.
