Yo, what's going on busted open nation and thanks for tuning in to another edition of the busted open after dark podcasts It's me. It's me. It's the OG of AD. It's Uncle bully Talking NXT More specifically Holy schnike balls the main event Tendell Gray versus Lola vice number one contender to JC James championship at stand and deliver and And my oh my did these women tear the house out there's a reason why the NXT women's division is the best in the world I can't wait to put this match over This is the after dark podcast turn it up This is the busted open podcast Tendell Gray and Lola vice Just tore the fucking house down in New York City You have been hearing me talk about the women's division in NXT for some time now

The foundation the backbone of this that the other thing and you sister's ass Did you see that main event tonight from the garden Tendell and Lola had one hell of a professional wrestling match That was one of the best women's matches I've seen so far this year if not the best For superior to anything that I've seen on the main roster For superior to anything I've seen in AEW in TNA in ring of honor anywhere My god that those ladies bring it Amazing athleticism great Matt wrestling transitions smooth fluid Good amateur wrestling good pro wrestling good false finishes

The involvement from fatal influence on the outside quality TV main event Here at a TV just quality main event Kendall Gray The future of the WWE women's division Lola vice Stepped up to the plate tonight Lola's got an amazing background But Kendall with that amateur wrestling ability Kendall being so damn good at such a young age I think Lola had to step up and she did They had me hooked in the first couple of minutes It of the match just with their ground wrestling alone

So man I love the main event what did you think No guests tonight you're the guests tonight nation The phone lines are open 8773444893 Band of the night Motley crew planes from shout at the devil I want to know specifically what you thought about NXT tonight You know going into tonight huge huge show at the garden There was only a couple of things that really stood out to me One of them obviously being that main event I thought it was a good show. I didn't think it was an off-the-charts show I thought it was an off-the-charts main event I want to get into can of carver and jazz for Troy and Josh Briggs Because I don't know whether to be happy About the way things went about tonight or pissed I'm very 50-50 on it

I tell you what I am pissed about and I and listen. I know this is a pro wrestling show I know we go balls to the wall with pro wrestling every once in a while we get off the beaten path just a little bit But I got a vent Andre can I vent for a second Okay, I got the double thumbs up from Andre the producing giant. Oh Yeah Thank you Jay You Football is dead in Italy Soccer is dead in Italy Italy Has once again failed to qualify for the World Cup the third time in a row It's time for the entire Football soccer whatever you want to call it hierarchy In Italy to take a cold hard look at themselves

And do something Because this is now a fucking embarrassment One of the superpowers in the world of soccer in the world of football Embarrassing themselves By failing to make the World Cup again I want to stand by my team so So bad and don't get me wrong. I was born in the United States of America I will always support the United States of America, but my family comes from Italy And I grew up on Juventus and Milan and Inter and Roma And to see what happened today it hurts That's it. I'm done with that Now I just threw out Tony Miola we got to talk

Because I know Tony Miola's got to be pulling his hair out too He's over on there on FC right Andre on the on the on the Fox sports channel FC Channel will give him a shout out when we get when you try next door 157 157 boom Andre's on it We do have a little bit of a of a of a discrepancy going on that Andre just threw up in the chat And you got to understand the second that NXT goes off the you know the match ends I jump right on the air So I do miss a minute or two of the end of NXT And Andre is telling me that there was a little bit of an aftermath Where HVK came out and the referees were debating on the winner I'm assuming Andre we had a double pin Yes, it was a pin and a tap out happening at the same time. Thank you

Which leads me to believe We're heading to a three-way dance. It's stand and deliver JC Jane Lola vice and Here we go again with my memory Kendall Gray I'll take it Don't love three-way dances. They're okay, but with those three women. I'll take it Shout out to JC for showing up on busted open this morning Being a great NXT women's champion Shout out to Tony D shout out to GM Robert Stone for doing a great job this morning I do have another question though that doesn't concern NXT And you know when I come on after dark I try to keep it either die hard NXT or when I'm doing Wednesday nights Die hard AEW dynamite and I will be jumping back on Wednesday nights in the upcoming weeks Where it all started on Wednesday nights after dynamite with Uncle bully

But this is what popped into my head because I've been hearing some chatter Three weeks now in a row almost I think in a row Oba and Brock have been off the charts I said I'm as interested in Oba and Brock As I am the two world championship main event matches Which leads me to ask you this question nation Should Oba Femi Versus Brock Lesnar Main event night one of WrestleMania I'm taking all of my traditional rules values and I'm thrown it out the door just for the rest of the show tonight Because I want to know if you think Oba and Brock have garnered enough interest

excitement Passion enthusiasm To at the very least Main event night one If your answer is yes Make sure you can back it up So what did you think of NXT What did you think in the women in the main event You know how I felt and I'm looking forward to seeing what HVK decides Stand and deliver his next week right Andre this coming Saturday this coming Saturday basically NXT's WrestleMania So I'm wondering if HVK is going to take to social media Tonight Maybe Friday night on Smackdown But if we had a discrepancy in the finish and one woman was getting pinned

While the other woman was tapping out It seems to be only one logical way to do it and we ain't flipping a coin Three-way dance three-way dance invented in ECW ECW chance last night in Madison Square Garden on Raw The revolution continues One of the other parts of NXT that stood out to me tonight was Jasper Troy versus Keanu Carter Jada Parker and Kalani Jordan also had a strong match I am so torn On NXT's Booking of Keanu Carver To me it is so crystal clear how this kid should be treated

Don't get me wrong He says green as the day is long He's brand new He's got so much to learn There is so much polishing necessary But in this world of pro wrestling Where we can do whatever we want to do with talent I would be featuring Keanu Carver In a more specific way When I see Keanu Carver come out there it's very 50-50 to me And I have I might just have to straight up just ask somebody there why Because this kid got killer written all over him. He's got fear written all over him

He's got credibility written all raw credibility written all over him Meanwhile he's getting dropped left and right once by Jasper Troy once by Josh Briggs Don't get me wrong Jasper Troy is a big bad mother trucker Don't get me wrong Josh Briggs a bigger Big bad mother trucker But just because you have that physical stature and size Doesn't mean you have the same look in your eyes as Keanu Carver does I don't need to see this guy getting bumped around so much I don't need to see people willing to stand up to him so much He's not special If you do all that You went out of your way To show what happened with Keanu Carver and Booker T

The first day LFG started taping like three or four months ago and allow Uncle Bulley to tell you Cross my heart hope to die stick a needle in my eye What went down with Booker and Keanu Carver which happened right in front of me I was no more than a foot away was one thousand percent a complete shoot You went out of your way to show how raw and aggressive and rude and disrespectful and nasty and mean And all of those words You went out of your way to show this But now you show me Too much kinks in his armor This was a kid who was ready to jump out of the ring And rip Booker keys head off and piss down his neck

But now he's getting the normal wrestler treatment There's a reason why Obefemi is special There's a reason why certain talents in this business are special There's a reason why Goldberg was special at one time There was a reason why Wardlow was special at one time And we can frame it in a way to keep talents special Now in no way shape or form my telling you that I'm smarter than the people in charge But I'll be damned if I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about And I know what I see in this kid And I don't need to see him getting bumped around and treated like every other dude on the roster Coming up next your favorite uncle Talks more NXT You're one stock shock for R.A.S.S.L.I. and that's wrestler

Pro wrestling nation 24-7 channel 156 Andre in the break told me that WWE released the footage of the finish Two angles of the finish of the main event The angle that I believe aired live in which you see the one two three And then an alternative angle in what you see Kendall tapping Lola had like that front chokehold on Kendall and Kendall was almost going sleepy time bobo's But Kendall musted up some entry uh energy to get like a modified northern light suplex in there Lola's shoulders were down But in the effort to get Lola over for the northern lights put more talk on the chokehold

And Kendall was on her way out and she started tapping but the referee was on the opposite side of the ladies And could not see the tap So the ref was looking at shoulders doing his job counted the one two three Didn't see the tap Another referee came in now. I'm not positive why that referee was out there I'm sure you guys could either clarify for me or we'll find out But another referendum and it said wait a minute Kendall was tapping while the three count was going on So there's definitely A discrepancy with the finish And we watched it a couple of times in break guys that one two three in the top happened at the exact same moment There's no way at least I don't think there's any way

That they can that hvk or those referees can definitively say the pin or the tap happened first So there might be only one way to settle this and that's a three-way dance that's then delivered or one of the caller suggested That Kendall and Lola kick off stand and deliver And whoever wins that match goes on to face JC at the end of the night I don't hate that idea at all. We got the contract signing For the the fatal four-way at stand and deliver which is going to be a ladder match Your NXT champion Joe Hendry versus Tony D'Angelo who we had on the show earlier today Verse Ricky Saints and Ethan Page I don't love champions having to defend their championship

In multi-man ladder matches That's my take I'm not I listen I love a good ladder match But the champion is at such a disadvantage in this match And I don't like when when you are the champion. I believe that If there is going to be an advantage in the match it should be in your favor Or at least a little bit in your favor But that has nothing to do with how this match will go Joe and Tony and Ricky and Ethan will turn in great performances And I think it's Ethan Page's time But Joe just got that strap And I think you got to leave that championship on Joe Henry for a little while I think Joe needs time to develop Ethan He's ready

I watch Ethan every single week and He can hang on the microphone with anybody He can have a quality wrestling match But more than anything else Ethan Page can go out there and entertain No matter what hand they deal Ethan Page He plays it And he wins So I like what he's doing. I'll be really interested in it How about that opening six man Oh TM and Mike Santana defeating Dark State Mike Santana your TNA World Heavyweight champion what a hell of a reaction in the garden Mike was over Coming through the crowd People chatting his name To fitatively the most overguy in that match

And the guy that I thought should have won the match But that just wasn't going to happen was it I know Mike doesn't necessarily need the win And the fact that Mike is on TV on NXT Representing TNA with that TNA World Heavyweight championship in the garden last I got it I got it But once my kid that splash off the top It wouldn't have sucked to see him get the one two three Overall a good show Kets the full three hours of busted open every day of the week at 9 a.m. Eastern on pro wrestling nation 24-7 channel 156
