Welcome to the Busted Open podcast, along with Justin Labar. I'm Jonathan Hood.

0:04.2

And on today's show, we talk about John Sina's last match at Madison Square Garden in New York.

0:08.8

0:12.7

This is the Busted Open podcast.

0:16.6

As we saw the buildup for this, John Sina, first of all, you see Triple H there in the ring, and then Sina

0:22.4

comes out, and I thought that Triple H would exit stage left, because usually he just kind disappears, and he's still standing in the corner. I'm like, what's he still hanging out for? This is Sena's moment. Is this a game coming back and he's taking the jacket off? He's soaking in the pop. he's soaking in the pop. He's soaking out of there.

0:55.0

He's sitting in gorilla on a headset next to Bruce. He doesn't get to feel the energy of a crowd like that anymore. Look, all the times that he fought seen over the years, he just won. Look, this is one last time for Triple H too. You know, he knows. That's right. Yeah. He's not going to get to stand in the ring and hear those horns and feel that energy. This is his last chance.

0:56.1

Even if he's in a suit, he's. I think that's right. Yeah. He's not going to get to stand in the ring and hear those horns and feel that energy.

0:55.1

This is his last chance. Even if he's in a suit, he's going to soak it up. Nobody's going to make him leave. I do the same thing. The doctor cleared me. One more run. Could you imagine? I was like, because I'm watching this, like, what are you still standing there for? And then here comes Dom and it's just a perfect scenario.

1:13.0

It's a full-throat Boston crowd that was loud and supporting John Cena, which was really cool. And here's Dom, you know, and again, Dom, shades of baby face, character baby face. But yet, in that situation, no, you can't be a baby face at all because you're in the same ring with John Cena. And then we get the, you know, we get the, uh, the afterbirth of the celebration of Cena being the inner Connell champion. You know, also, you know, I was happy for, I was happy for Joe Testator, the honor of being able to call that match and the way he called it. I'm like, that's it right there.

1:46.1

They trust Joe, because Michael Cole could have been like, no, I'm good.

1:48.9

No, I'll do this.

1:50.9

And to, and Jess, and Tesson Tora's call was fantastic and laid out so you can hear the fan,

1:57.0

just a professional call.

1:59.4

It was a sports call, even more so,

2:00.9

certainly a pro wrestling call from Tessitore. So I just enjoyed the whole thing. Yes, it was. No, and that's, you're right. That's something a lot of people don't think about, but give it, you know, give it to the veteran broadcaster like yourself to bring that point up, which is, you know, and forever in the, you know, God, when, when John goes into the

2:19.4

Hall of Fame, what a Hall of Fame package they have to edit.

2:23.0

What a, you know, what hours of footage they have to amass to put together what they

2:27.7

want to include.

2:28.3

And yes, so much of John's, uh, Hall of Fame package is going to have Michael Cole predominantly on the soundtrack. A little bit of JR from the early stages. I don't know how many one-off you know, John Cena moments, you know, Jimmy Smith's, Jimmy Smith, Adnan, Verk. I don't think John was, I think John was filmed a lot of movies during those times. Yes.

2:52.2

So it's primarily Cole.

2:52.9

So you're right.
