Coming up, what will raw look like on Netflix?

Also, Mercedes-Mone, as we get closer to A-E-W-W-O-N-N-N-Punk's War of Words with Drew McIntyre,

all right now on the busted open podcast.

This is the busted open podcast.

It's always great to talk to you on a Friday Justin and man I mean coming off the heels of

Wrestle mania now that the dust has settled and you know we're usually in that time period where it's like we're in a little bit of a

lull but it seems like the world of pro wrestling we're never in a lull now we are just going forward moving as fast as we can and I kind of like it.

We talked about it a couple of weeks ago Justin but you can tell right now probably now more than ever in the last decade, the

W. W. W. is putting a lot of stock in King of the Ring.

And I love it.

I love it.

I mean, it's got so much history and tradition to it.

I mean, just look at the I mean, look at the Hall of Fame names that are associated with it, you know,

Brett Hart, Owen Hart, Stonehol Steve Lawson, Triple H. I mean, you know, shout out to King Mabel, rest in peace.

It's just, you know, it's got such history to it, I mean mean so I love the fact that they're bringing

it back. I'm not the biggest guy on tournaments. I think especially in today's day and age

tournaments are you know with people's attention spans and you know how many times they

want to see a competitor have matches within a certain span of time.

So I think tournaments have to be handled a certain way with today's audience.

And so I'm excited to see how this King of the Ring is rolling out here and most excited for whoever wins king and queen

in the ring that it's gonna actually matter it's going to mean something for

their character to elevate for a potential title shot whatever the steps or rewards end up being I'm excited for.
