Summary
Join hosts Jack Encarnacao and JP Sarro for one last toast to “the Manes,” as they dissect the dynamics at play in Daniel Bryan’s unlikely rise and precipitous fall, the end of the Undertaker’s vaunted winning streak, and the dawning of a new “Network Era” for WWE’s grandest spectacle.
Discussion points include:
- The historical currents running beneath the Hogan/Austin/Rock face off at the top of the show
- The realization that John Cena has likely had his last WrestleMania moment hoisting the championship high, and other items that make you feel old
- Triple H proves just how good he can be in a classic to set up Bryan for the big win
- More kvetching over HHH’s ornate entrances
- So, was the streak ending the right call? Things that are clearer in retrospect, and why the finish of Taker’s match with Bray Wyatt this year partly informs the answer
- Jake Roberts electrifies with a cutting Hall of Fame speech
- Cesaro’s aborted push, and what a damn shame it is watching back the inaugural Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal
- The last word on what happened to Daniel Bryan
Plus audio recollections on the event and the impact of the streak ending from the TLF Solar System, as well as one final contribution from guru Dave Meltzer on the WWE Network and other elements that make this one of the most noteworthy WrestleManias of all time.
From 1985 to 2015 – from Hogan to Savage to Warrior to Hart to HBK to Austin to Rock to HHH to Cena to Bryan – TLF has Lapsed you across the face with the damnedest WM audio reviews you’ve ever heard. Journey to grand stage with us one last time and complete your WM31 prep by downloading the show here.
