WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray (Bubba Ray Dudley) appeared on an episode of Busted Open Radio, where he talked about a number of topics including how he believes Kevin Owens hitting the Pile Driver on “The Viper” Randy Orton was great storytelling.
Ray said, “A lot of people [were] like, ‘Oh, my God. How could they do it? And it was so forceful, and the intensity [with] which he did it.’ I thought it was great. Great storytelling, great execution of the move.”
On how the storyline utilized the pile driver as a dangerous move:
“To me, it makes the pile driver that Kevin Owens gave to Randy even worse because it’s not a part of storyline, it’s part of reality. The boys stay away from the pile driver because nobody wants to end up like Austin, on the bad end of a mistake. So, knowing this, Kevin Owens still did it to Randy Orton, and that aspect of it right there, you can go even farther with.”
