WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray made an appearance on the “Busted Open Radio” podcast recently, where he gave his assessment of AEW WrestleDream 2024. He expressed a strong desire for Darby Allin to emerge as the primary “superhero” figure in Tony Khan’s wrestling promotion.
Here are some key takeaways from the podcast discussion:
Bully Ray’s views on Darby Allin: “Currently, based on what I witnessed at the climax of WrestleDream, I desire for Darby Allin to be portrayed as my superhero! Darby was, in fact, the character designed to be the hero.”
Concerning the future of Bryan Danielson post-WrestleDream: “His final goodbye won’t be happening tomorrow [on AEW Dynamite]. It will come after he fully recovers and is ready to return.”
In the most recent edition of her “Mone Mag” newsletter, Mercedes Mone shared her thoughts on her match against Emi Sakura from the previous week’s AEW Dynamite episode. She regarded Sakura as a source of inspiration during her formative years.
Mone disclosed facing travel complications and other commitments which left her with little time to prepare for the match. Despite these hurdles, she described their match as “epic.”
Mercedes, the TBS Champion said, “Emi is a revered figure and veteran in the wrestling business with a career spanning 30 years! I’ve greatly admired her and have been watching her since my teenage years. This showdown, Mercedes versus Emi, is particularly thrilling for me. It’s a rare instance where I’m pitted against a seasoned athlete with vastly greater experience. It’s quite surreal to realize that this is only the third instance in my career where I am up against someone with such longevity. In my entire career, there have only been two other occasions when my opponents had more years of experience in the industry.“
