Summary

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.

Two weeks left. Get to work. It’s the latest stop in the Lapsed Fan’s 30-week WrestleMania sojourn, available for download now!
