ManiaMania Podcast Terry Catlett

One entire year of smack talking, bad rapping, training, and posturing finally comes to an end as the 'Once in a Lifetime' match between the Rock and John Cena takes place in Miami. The Rock returns to ring form and climbs to the top of the sports entertainment food chain once again to prove once again that one can become a wrestler, but one needs Hollywood to become a true immortal. Also for your enjoyment, Taker and HHH get upstaged by a cell, CM Punk bombs Y2J, and....that's about it. Check it out! It's ManiaMania XXVIII!

"Atlanta, do you smell what the Rock is cooking? Well if you don't, you better know your role and shut your damn mouth because the Rock is here to host WrestleMania 27!"
This installment was the beginning of the Rock/Cena trilogy, setting up the year long wait to the 'Once in a lifetime' match-up at WM28. Also on this card, Orton bites Punk, Michael Cole defeats a King, and Taker/HHH I. Do you smell that? It smells like ManiaMania XXVII!

When you have a classic match like Taker/HBK I, you have 2 choices: make it a "one time in history" event, or try and top it. We are so glad these two icons chose to do it all again. With the added "retirement" stipulation, these same two men carved out another classic in the squared-circle, leaving the fans with an argument that will last a lifetime. Which one was better? Also for your listening pleasure, Orton outlasts the legacies, Y2J spanks Edge, and the Hitman gets some sweet revenge. Time to get your kicks. It's ManiaMania XXVI!

Happy 25th Anniversary, everybody! We did it! Today we talk about one of the greatest matches in wrestling history: Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels I. This match is as good as advertised, and we tell you why it is even better than you remember. Also, the Hardy brothers settle the score, Jericho beats geriatrics, and HHH plays nice with a Viper. It's raining gold! It's ManiaMania 25!

What is the perfect way to say goodbye to a legend? You have Shawn Michaels kick him in the face! WOOOOO! Ric Flair is one of the greatest icons in this industry, and on this night in 2008, the entire WWE universe gathered in Orlando to say goodbye to a man that gave everything to the business. In what would be the first, and grandest, of many "final" matches, the "Nature Boy" put on a classic display to "end" is illustrious career. Also, Mayweather drops Big Show, Orton outlasts Cena and HHH, and the Undertaker introduces Edge to Hell's Gate. Space Mountain is open for business! Welcome to ManiaMania XXIV!

How do two billionaires settle their disputes? The old fashioned way: pick a wrestler to wrestle for you and if your guy wins, you get to shave the other guys hair off his head. More money, more problems! You have probably asked yourself a thousand times which Wrestlemania had the highest buy-rate of them all. Wrestlemania 23 is the answer, my friend. Of all the great match-ups in history, this hair for hair match between two people not even wrestling drew the most viewers. Don't worry if this sounds lame. There is plenty of other action. Money in the Bank, Taker against Batista, and HBK works Cena. Welcome to ManiaMania 23!
