On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray discussed the Chris Jericho vs. Katsuyori Shibata match from last week’s episode of AEW Dynamite and critiqued AEW’s booking of the Japanese wrestler.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On Jericho vs. Shibata: “I thought it was entertaining. Now I’m gonna say something that’s going to pi*s off a lot of AEW fans. … Shibata might be a great pro wrestler but he’s boring as hell.”

On how AEW is presenting Katsuyori Shibata: “Here’s where I’m really going to pi*s people off — AEW is treating Shibata like the WWE would treat Shibata. They’re making him ‘entertaining.’ Whether that’s him using Siri to do the talking for him, which always gets a pop out of me, [or] tonight with the match against Jericho. FTW Rules basically mean the rules are: there ain’t no rules.”

On Shibata showing some personality: “I’m finally seeing some personality out of Shibata.”
