The Rock improbably stepped back into the ring at WrestleMania 28, and The Lapsed Fan is right there with him as the show reaches the final leg of its 30-week journey through the grand spectacle.
It was “Once in a Lifetime” (until next year) as Rock stepped back on to the grand stage to tussle with John Cena in 2012. TLF co-chairs Jack Encarnacao and JP Sarro give you that one-of-a-kind vantage on why the match was momentous.
Your hosts also touch on, among other things:
– Why Sheamus’ 18-second dispatching of Daniel Bryan backfired, and how sad it is that no one at WWE saw it coming
– Undertaker v. HHH – Was the WM28 match better than the WM27 match? A debate. Also, the end of what “Era,” exactly?
– Maria Menounos stains her pants on a Diva’s face
– Big Johnny in a Col. Sanders suit
– The CM Punk pipe bomb promo, and the messy, frustrating road from there to his babyface title defense against Chris Jericho on this night
– The unsettling spectacle of Brodus Clay’s “mom”
– Flo Rida booked strong
– How Rock v. Cena will be remembered; is it in the pantheon of Hogan/Andre, Bret/HBK, and Rock/Austin?
All that and so much more, including exclusive insight from Dave Meltzer on what brought Rock back to the fray, and the upshot of the Hell in a Cell match.
