Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this for years. And remembered championing everything about Pro Wrestling. Haven’t heard one conversation about pro wrestling since the WWE affiliation. Too bad. MJF calling in was far more interesting than anything I’ve heard for months. Although who doesn’t love call backs of Wild Fire

Not allowed to talk about AEW lol. Now they are the WWE’s fetch boy lol. Please change the name, there is nothing busted open about kiddy wrestling.

I’ve been listening to Busted Open for about 10 years… unfortunately I can’t listen anymore. Dave has been the voice of pro wrestling for over a decade. Dave and the whole crew has taught me so much about the art and world of pro wrestling. I don’t even know if it was Daves call, or if it was out of his hands… either way, it’s very sad to see the end of an era. WWE radio is not what I fell in love with. Thanks for all the memories. Best of luck in your future endeavors…

Busted Open used to be good, but after WWE took over what a sham!!! Dave and the crew used to review all promotions, but to put all your eggs in the WWE basket, is not “Good for Business.” Did you not watch All In? That’s wrestling!!

Horrible listen. Went from ok to horrific. Don’t waste your time listening. There are 100 podcasts that you are better off listening to. Bye-bye busted open. I no longer follow or listen.

I don’t care that much that they are now owned by WWE, but that doesn’t mean they have to constantly shill for TKO. For example, SummerSlam 2026 was not the greatest SummerSlam ever, no matter what Stamford says.

Wasn’t that good as it was. Not really going to matter, changes or no changes.

What an awful show, these guys used to review all products and give an honest take. Now owned by wwe, so just reviewing that god awful product. You guys embarrassed yourselves, congrats.

Disappointed in the show / channel selling out. Won’t ever get the same product again

Heard the news. Too bad. I appreciated the objectivity and honest opinions and analysis good and bad. No disrespect to Dave, Bully Ray, Nic, and Natty. You guys are great and understand it was an opportunity difficult to pass up. Love the WWE and all pro wrestling product and liked hearing non biased commentary and opinions. Interested to see how it all works out. Not trying to be hypocritical - I love my OTC and MJF. Wish the channel the best. Thank you for all the great content. ☝️

I was huge fan for years. This past year it’s just become almost completely unlistenable. Bully and Mark are WWE shills. Can’t stand to listen to them wax poetic about how the bloodline story is a good as the Godfather movies. Get rid of the out of touch old men! BUSTED OLD MEN! Sell outs!

Now that WWE took over this show is done . It was great while it lasted .

Seriously? Dave LaGreca merging with WWE to make WWE Radio is a huge disappointment. What are the rest of us wrestling fans supposed to listen to now? A show that’s basically a WWE PR machine? Wrestling is bigger than one company. Some of us actually enjoy AEW, NJPW, TNA, and the indies too. So disappointed in you!!

Only reason this pod doesn’t get 5 stars is because there is no possible way Tommy Dreamer can be a fan of every angle and every match 24/7! Cmon Tommy nothing is perfect and nothing is always sunshine and rainbows. Give some healthy criticism sometimes it’s ok to not be a Mega White Meat Babyface 100% of the time!

HHH was literally using most of the talent that he released on weekly television. I don’t know, I would’ve selected a whole different slot of talent.

It’s a publicly traded company, dummy. Improving margins where they can and when they can isn’t “greed.” It’s their fiduciary responsibility to shareholders. Can they reach equilibrium on ticket sales at a higher price than they charged last year? Do they sell out Wrestlemania? If so, that’s the market clearing price, i.e. the market value of the tickets. How you or anyone else “feels” about it is as relevant as children saying having to brush their teeth is unfair! You sound dumb. If the ticket price outpaces the market demand for tickets, THEN they need to correct. Until then, their responsibility to shareholders is to increase profitability. Pretty day one economics. Only dumb people appreciate your pandering.

I love the podcast, as long as it’s one of the legends. Henry, Bully and Tommy are the real stars and I could listen to them for hours. Dave knows his stuff, but he’s too over the top now and pretty much blows out my speakers every episode. Avoid Denise, Justin and the others who only have knowledge from the last ten years and have major main character syndrome. They talk and act like they are part of the show and talk down to fans. Pick and choose your episodes by the hosts and you’ll get a lot more out of your listening time.

If I had a billion dollars, I’d start a wrestling company, hire bully to run it creatively, welcome road dogg with open arms, and sit back and watch the profits role in. Give me more passion psychos (and less pencil nerds) in the creative space. Smart managers will adjust to their passion psychos and find ways to roll with them!

I loved busted open at one time. And then all of a sudden, Dave LaGreca became a WWE fanboy like his buddy Bully. I mean Bully gets paid at least….maybe Dave gets that WWE check now also? I am a wrestling fan, so give me AEW, WWE, hog, tna, gcw , stardom, etc, not just WWE.

Wayyyy too much WWE content 4-5 days a week come on guys. AEW, T&T and even some of the Indie wrestling is putting on better shows than WWE. Ya might as well call it WWE Busted Open oh wait that won’t work with the no blood policy they have. Give more time to other wrestling promotions!

The WWE bias is so obvious and I can tell they fake love WWE. Loved this show at one point but lately it sucks.

I love all of the Busted Open content BUT can we move Denise Salcedo to a non speaking role. LOL. SMH. She’s an immediate skip and I KNOW I am not the only one that gets annoyed by her cracked out, valley girl soccer mom voice with zero pro wrestling contextual knowledge pre 2015 or thereabouts. LOL. SMH.

Census last match was garbage but looks like that WWE money is too good to pass up. U have a platform but choose to bow down to your masters.

This show is getting almost unbearable to listen to. Between the audio issues/screaming into the microphone and Labar constantly clearing his throat and coughing

I love the short condensed versions of Busted Open. I listen to a lot of pods and some are just way too long. This is just right for me. I just figured out Bishop is as a wrestler if they mentioned who he was in the WWE I must have missed it. Bully is as much of a straight shooter as there is on wrestling podcast. Nic Nemeth does great job to. I also love that Denise stood up for her beliefs in regards to WWE going to Saudia Arabia in a back and forth with Mark Henry.

Love the show. Just confused why Mark Henry is on here simping for the murder of human beings.

Love this podcast, but my man Bully marking SUPER hard for the Saudis this week. Way to represent the blue collar fans who’ve been with you since 2300 my dude. I get it though, can’t miss out on that blood oil payday. Wish you all the best in your Mania match against the NAO at 43 after you bend the knee. Sleep well on that pile of cash.

this show isn’t what it was about 2 years ago. nothing but wwe dicksucking. bunch of bench players talking like starters

they have a racist on that show. His name is Mark Henry he should be fired

Thanks to Mark Henry’s brain dead comments about the Raja Jackson assault, I’ll no longer be listening to any of these associated programs.

Love mark henry and thunder rosa!!

My in person interaction with this privileged guy…. if your not white, your a racist. And entire time he playing loud vulgar rap at max volume in his personal speaker. DO NOT support this racist, he hates non-black people IMHO.

This podcast is the greatest wrestling podcast in the world I love the dynamic between Dave and Bully two guys who know wrestling and what they’re talking about.

Fix the audio levels please!

Stop cussing. Otherwise, pretty good!

Turned off at the 13 min mark. That’s how long it took Rosa to play victim and whine about being a female wrestler blah blah blah… ppl boo u bc u botch more. U blow it… quit being the victim. 1 star

I really appreciate Mark Henry. Bubba shows us every week why he is single for life. Dave is the type of wrestling fan that makes it embarrassing to admit you’re a wrestling fan.

In case you guys weren’t aware. The Masters Class is now on its own feed.

Dave is a cry baby! Yowza

Great show, love all of the hosts…except Tommy Dreamer, he is the worst.

Sitting through a cringy Dave rant is like listening to nails drag across a chalk board. Bully used to give constructive criticism before he became paid by WWE. I fall asleep waiting for Mark to get through a sentence. Tommy seems chill. This podcast is like sitting in a smelly basement full of wrestling dorks who think their opinion is the only correct answer. Awful podcast for anybody who doesn’t get a stiffy for everything WWE does.

I use to love this podcast but once they got on the WWE payroll the show lost its essence. Bully Ray used to be fair but as soon as he got the legends deal he said forget AEW.

Denise and Matt are enjoyable and work well together. Would like to hear them together more. When Mark is on, he tends to go off topic often and then talk about unrelated items about himself.

the chemistry between Bully, Mark, Tommy, Nick & Dave is next level. The insight the pros bring really gives you insight into this crazy world. Best wrestlingvshow around

Some of the most biased takes from a guy who likes to scream into the mic for an hour. If you’re a fan of grilling anything outside of the WWE, meanwhile justifying all of their shortcomings then this is the perfect podcast for you!

This is a fantastic pod most of the time! One criticism is that Denise needs to share the mic. She rambles on and on having a conversation with herself. She will state her opinion, then allow for brief feedback from co-hosts, then outright dismiss those who have more knowledge than her. It’s a terrible one-dimensional dynamic when she’s on. Outside of that, most of them have reliable chemistry that makes the show work.

Overall great wrestling content but whenever Mark and especially Tommy Dreamer speak, put me to sleep. There is literally nothing more boring in the IWC.

The show stinks with Denise

I’ve become a fan of BOAD with Tommy Dreamer after Raw and I enjoy the analysis of Bully and Mark Henry that each give the viewpoint and inside baseball of a pro wrestler. I learn something that makes me even more of a fan. Dave is not always my cup of tea, especially when he gets on a Cody Crybaby or a Ric Flair rant… ughhh, but in podcast form I can skip through to the good stuff.

Fun show with after dark guest Giulia! More fun with guests please! Love insight from experts and HoF’ers
