MLW owner Court Bauer recently appeared on the Busted Open Radio podcast to address a myriad of wrestling topics including Cody Rhodes’ shocking loss to Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 39 (Night Two).
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Rhodes losing at WrestleMania: “You have to have conviction in the payoff, whatever the payoff is for them. And so if they think there is a grander payoff, then maybe [I would have booked it the same way]. I think when you deny the audience that thing they want, you’re suppressing it, right? It’s like the pressure’s building up for it. The delicate dance in booking is feeling it and knowing you gotta pop it off. Because if you try to elongate it and stretch it out too long? It does dissipate, you lose the pressure and the cathartic release of that moment.”
On Cody’s WWE return: “Dusty, I think, would be incredibly, incredibly proud of the instincts as a businessman that Cody’s shown.”
