Bret Hart Takes Aim at Samoa Joe Still Using Muscle Buster, Johnny Gargano on Origin of the “Glorious Bombs”, Why They Were Mad at Roode

Johnny Gargano on Origin of the “Glorious Bombs”

As noted, WWE Cruiserweight Classic and NXT star Johnny Gargano recently appeared on the “This is Wrestling” podcast, and during the appearance he recalled a great story of the origin of the “Glorious Bombs” and why they were “mad” at Bobby Roode for his new NXT theme music:

“This is the first time I’ve told this story on a podcast or anything like that; so we were doing walkthroughs for the Cruiserweight Classic and they played this ‘Glorious’ song. They played Bobby’s [Bobby Roode] song. And we all thought that was going to be the theme song for the show. That was going to be the Cruiserweight Classic theme; that was going to open it. So we all got excited! Like, this is our song! This song rules! This is awesome! So we are all saying, ‘Glorious!’ and doing hand-motions and saying we should do this, we should do that. And we later find out it’s Bobby’s song. We immediately are really angry with Bobby. What the heck, that’s our song. Why does Bobby get such a cool song?

So every single time we saw Bobby, we would tell him, ‘Oh man, we really want your song.’ And every single time we saw him, me and Tommaso would go up to him and be like, ‘Glorious! Glorious!’ and sing his song to him. So we do that.

One day I said to Tommaso, when the song got released on YouTube, I said it would be funny if we had a phone, and we played his song and ran up to him playing it and filmed us doing that. I’m more of an idea guy; Tommaso is the more the go and doer guy. He has no filter and will go and do things. So we went up to Bobby and asked him and he was like, ‘Yeah, sure. Let’s do it.’ We filmed one in the gym first, and we had Bobby do a fake rep, and I want to point out that the fake rep Bobby does is with 70-pound dumbbells. He just picks them up and rips them out, no problem. So we filmed that first one and posted it. Then it starts getting blown up online and it’s going viral.

After we posted a few, someone showed us a text message from Triple H, saying ‘Tell Gargano and Ciampa I love the Glorious Bombs.’ So we are like, if he loves them, we gotta keep doing them.”

Bret Hart Takes Aim at Samoa Joe Still Using Muscle Buster

Earlier today WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart released a statement to WZ reacting to Finn Balor’s injury at SummerSlam during his match against Seth Rollins. You can check out the statement at this link.

Hart also had some harsh criticism of WWE allowing Samoa Joe to continue using the Muscle Buster following Tyson Kidd’s injury, and he had the following to say to WrestleZone:

“When I think of Samoa Joe nearly killing Tyson Kidd, then see him continuing to use that deadly finish of his, I just shake my head. It’s not real, it’s only supposed to look real, wrestlers are not crash test dummies!”
