During a recent edition of the “Busted Open After Dark” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray praised Konosuke Takeshita for his performance in the Triple Threat Match for the AEW International Title at AEW WrestleDream 2024.
Takeshita defeated Will Ospreay and Ricochet to win the title last weekend.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his hope that AEW breathes some life into Brian Cage and Lance Archer: “Don Callis comes out tonight with [Tony] Schiavone in the middle of the ring. He’s with [Lance] Archer and [Brian] Cage. I’m hoping that we breathe some life into Lance Archer, into Brian Cage, into some of these big men. Kyle [Fletcher] was there also. Takeshita was there also. He’s big.”
On how Konosuke Takeshita shined the most in the Triple Threat Match at WrestleDream: “I asked Callis specifically this morning, what is it about Dexter that makes him special, or so stand out? And to me, [Takeshita] was the MVP of the three-way at WrestleDream. And Callis says that people don’t realize just how big Takeshita is, and to do the things that Takeshita does for a man his size. I liked Takeshita on the microphone tonight, talking in Japanese. Good heat from the crowd.”
