This is the best Busted Open Clip Ever. Kudos to all wrestlers for sacrificing so much for our entertainment.

[@FranklinDBluth]

Hearing the pain still in Mark’s voice, man I’m so glad to the few that stepped up for him. He’s a legend.

[@Chozin1]

It's crazy , Benoit has the family history , then you hear this. It sucks because obviously Benoit cared

[@KlaySmith-mn6dj]

It’s not just wrestling that nobody checks on you. If you get hurt and aren’t around suddenly you see who your friends are. You feel betrayed because you have opened your heart, your home, shared your food. And when you feel at your lowest, those people you thought were your friends reveal themselves as simply colleagues or acquaintances. They don’t check on you because at that time you no longer benefit them anymore.

[@billwebber400]

You are 100% correct, if you haven't seen it already go back to the passing of the great and wonderful Mean Gene Okerlund no one showed up for his funeral except Diamond Dallas Page!!!!! In my opinion no one showed up because he couldn't put them over anymore what a bunch of scumbags!!!!! Sorry I'm just venting but Mean Gene was the man on the mic and I miss seeing him on TV. RIP Mean Gene Okerlund❤❤❤❤

[@bobjimmy1539]

Same with Owen Hart only Jr showed up and that was bc Vince sent him

[@aceloco817]

Seriously. Broke my leg last year & was out of commission for a year. Hardly anyone checked on me personally. I guess social media kinda.saced me cuz i kept in touch that way. Not the same as real interaction.with friends tho. Haven't been social ever since. Just destroyed me mentally more then physically. I feel ya tho....

Great episode guys, I can't wait to see Punk main event Mania next year.

[@AngryBlogGuy]

wow this episode is very insightful, amazing job guys

[@wondahquinn6825]

As fans we don’t really think about the real life side of our favourite wrestlers getting injured so it’s great to listen in to this episode and think about it. Especially the mental part - the confidence to return in real life. Not much we can do though, but wish them well and welcome them back enthusiastically.

[@MikeyManSavage]

Mark, I've had surgery, I popped my shoulder out 127 times so far, even after surgery...... nobody understands the pain of it. It's legit hard to keep yourself conscious without passing out, feeling the bone rub on the bone when it comes out

[@ashleyjenkins6189]

Very powerful episode guys, thanks for sharing the human aspects we as fans forget about. Keep up the good work, watching from Perth Australia

[@johnshort5830]

I wish Mark knew that for a lot of us, he was THE GUY and the most legit on the roster. And when he went down, it did fucking matter to his fans. We did miss him. And we did rejoice when he came back. I'm not a booker, but I NEVER once have counted Mark Henry out of the greatest to ever do it, and still do it. 🐐🐐

[@SophisticatedViking]

Mark is really the worlds strongest man!

[@jasoncoward-aintscared]

It's crazy how captivating a conversation like this can be. It's like watching De Niro and Pacino during the diner scene in Heat.

[@TheTennesseeFistMachine]

Stop 😂

[@PWSatire]

This was an awesome episode. Thank you all for sharing your personal stories..

[@robertcornelius3514]

Hearing about all these injuries just makes me believe Ric Flair never wrestled a day in his life.

[@capitalconcierge6635]

THIS is the best episode you guys have EVER done,,,,..this is best one I've ever seen from a wrestling podcast...thankyou guys!! And I mean that from the bottom of my heart

[@WilliamsWrestlin]

One of the best episodes I've seen to date

So this was recorded forever ago because they are talking about mania.

Right after the rumble that punk got hurt

[@yungflav193]

Lmao I thought I was tripping

[@williamspitznagel1811]

We the fans love and appreciate you all. Yeah even Dave

[@evansfromtheheavens]

Shoulder injuries seem like they arent that big of a deal, on the hierarchy of injuries, but i swear, dislocating my shoulder was worse than breakint my ankle or even the time i was hit in the leg with a stray bullet. Its a fucking wild feeling. And then ive never had insurance alot, so ive never prioritized getting a rotator cuff surgery, so the possibility of it happening over and over is extremely high. I fight back tears everytime, and looking at it is a mind fuck.

[@johnshort5830]

We don't get to text you guys, it's not just you and you only. I know the boys and the office are the most important, but when you guys have been gone, we DO miss you. We DO want you back. But we don't write checks directly so we don't register. But we're here. And we love you boys. And we know what you have sacrificed to entertain us, and we appreciate it. You have never done something in this business that I didn't respect you for and appreciate what you did. Thank you.

[@andrewhass8668]

Thank you mark

[@robertcornelius3514]

I love watching the Bully Ray show.

[@isaiahharris1998]

Kodus to everyone here on this podcast, also thank you Tommy Dreamer, thank you Bully/Bubba Ray Dudley, and thank you Mark Henry 👏... #BustedOpenRadio

[@Chozin1]

I would love to meet Mark Henry . He had me choking up. More people like Mark are needed in the world

[@MrJadams313]

Just watched the match Mark was talking about. He’s screaming in pain when he tapped 😮

[@L.m.CeeTee]

So that would have been for the US Title? That’s A belt I would have really loved to see on All Americans like Ron Simmons and Mark Henry. Chad Gable is another one that needs a run with that Belt.

[@cvela83]

It sucks that you got 2 days of wrestlemania but some matches that deserve to be on card gets put on preshow or moved to a tv show

[@SophisticatedViking]

Amazing match 17

What Mania was Benoit suppose to face Mark Henry?

[@random_vat]

Wow wonderful

[@anthonycairo9202]

What the hell is Mark talking about a match at Mania between him and Benoit for the title? Benoit was in a story last line with MVP during that time. There definitely was no plan for Mark vs Benoit at Mania. They had a match on Smackdown in 2006. Nothing in 07. Once again Mark is lying in a interview. Also his first Mania was Mania 14 and his next one was at Mania 22. He was at mania 7 times and he debuted in 96. 🤦‍♂️ big man needs to stop lying cause at this point it’s just said. Also he had a interview with Vlad TV a few years ago and he said that from 2011 to 2015 he was the most dominative superstar of all time and nobody ever had a run like that. Like bro what the hell are you talking about? You definitely was not. Yeah you were champion for a few months but not close to the crap coming out of your mouth. Guy is a legend in his own mind. 🤦‍♂️

For Mark Henry to be as big and strong as he is he sure is a big fucking Cry-Baby every interview I see he talking about he cried over something

[@sophroniastrand1904]

Man shut the hell up

[@johnnysupreme5718]

The sheer thought of you saying that to Mark Henry's face would probably have you weeping.

[@anthonycairo9202]

I totally agree with you. He is a legend in his own mind. And always lying about his career in interviews and when someone says something he doesn’t like, he starts crying like a baby. Guy spent more time in carting then in the ring. Also there was NO match planned for Mark and Benoit for the title at mania. Totally bullshit

I just saw Mark Henry's comments on The Wyatt Sicks taking a pic with a fan at a Whataburger. He is wrong. It is friggin 2024! The internet tells all. Mark is trying to sound smart but he is wrong and needs to get off the mic. He simply is not interesting and has nothing productive to add to the conversation.

[@Mr60InA30]

You're a fan trying to tell a guy who's been in the wrestling business for 30+ years he doesn't know pro wrestling. Your comment section opinion means as much as the shit you flush down the toilet..absolutely nothing. Keep your meaningless ass opinion to yourself.

[@sophroniastrand1904]

HEY MARK HENRY HAS A RIGHT TO HAVE A OPINION BECAUSE UNLIKE YOU HE'S BEEN IN THE INDUSTRY FOR YEARS AND KNOW'S MORE THAN YOU AND HE HAS ( once again unlike you ) SKIN IN THE GAME. HE HAS A RIGHT ✅ TO SHARE HIS OPINION SO SETTLE DOWN FANGIRL AND SHOW SOME RESPECT.

[@miguelg9497]

Mark Henry is the worst on this show. Well pretty much any show. Talking about the Wyatt sicks. I didn’t see him out on dates with Mae young. Didn’t see their sex tape. Didn’t see any of them keep their personals out in public then. The godfather wasn’t in mma fighting. No sexual chocolate. He wasn’t great. He was good after 10+ years. Matches were boring.

[@sophroniastrand1904]

Bro if you don't relax with this bull your spewing out of you mouth. If you want to be a fanboy for the wyatt sicks 😷 great. Wonderful but don't drag him just because he refuses to go along with your fangirling behavior.
