Bully Ray isn’t holding back when it comes to The Rock and the messy aftermath of WrestleMania 41.
Earlier this week, The Rock (real name Dave Johnson) brushed off criticism from Busted Open Radio’s Dave LaGreca, telling him, “the business is a complete work” and to “stop ranting, it’s not healthy my friend. Enjoy the show.” That didn’t sit well with Bully Ray, who sounded off about Rock’s absence from the WrestleMania Night Two main event during Thursday’s episode.
“I stuck up for these guys, and I told the Busted Open nation the way they connected the dots, they’ve earned my benefit of the doubt to sit back and enjoy what they’re doing,” Bully said. “But now with everything that’s going down, it’s now in front of my eyes, they had no clue what the f**k they were doing this whole time.”
Bully specifically torched the half-baked “Cody’s soul” storyline, saying: “‘Oh maybe one day we’ll come back to the soul,’ No. Don’t go back to the soul, you already stooged it off that it wasn’t going to happen, so let’s forget about Cody’s soul. As a matter of fact, unless I’m getting Cody versus The Rock one day, I don’t think I need to see it. I don’t need to see it, and I sure as hell don’t need to see Roman [Reigns] and Rock because Rock already put the Ula Fala around his head.”
Bully didn’t stop there. He even called out Rock to listen to the fans instead of brushing them off: “Rock, I want you to let Dave into one of those meetings. I want you to let him sit at the table with you and Brian Gewirtz when you’re coming up with everything, because Dave LaGreca is the voice of the wrestling fan, and maybe you should hear, or have heard the voice of the wrestling fan before you decided to not show up at WrestleMania. At the end of the day, Dave’s passion makes sense.”
The fallout from WrestleMania 41 clearly isn’t over—and fans are making their voices heard louder than ever.
