During a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray lavished praised on the Kevin Owens and Randy Orton segment that took place on last week’s episode of WWE SmackDown. The segment saw Owens hitting a piledriver on Orton.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the storytelling for Owens’ beatdown on Orton: “A lot of people [were] like, ‘Oh, my God. How could they do it? And it was so forceful, and the intensity [with] which he did it.’ I thought it was great. Great storytelling, great execution of the move.”
On how the storyline utilized the pile driver as a dangerous move: “To me, it makes the pile driver that Kevin Owens gave to Randy even worse because it’s not a part of storyline, it’s part of reality. The boys stay away from the pile driver because nobody wants to end up like Austin, on the bad end of a mistake. So, knowing this, Kevin Owens still did it to Randy Orton, and that aspect of it right there, you can go even farther with.”
On a recent edition of the “Busted Open After Dark” podcast, former WWE and ECW wrestler Tommy Dreamer commented on last week’s episode of WWE NXT which took place at the former ECW Arena (2300 Arena) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On ECW veterans he would’ve loved to have seen last week: “Would’ve loved to see The Sandman, would’ve loved to see myself, would’ve loved to see Paul Heyman maybe do something for the crowd. I thought the spacing of the show was great.”
On his thoughts on Bubba Ray Dudley & Trick Williams vs. Ethan Page & Ridge Holland: “I thought that match was excellent. They really try to make sense of a nonsensical business…At the end of the day, nobody cares because if you watch that show, the audience was on their feet throughout almost everything.”
