Shut up man. How dare you call me out for my age like that!

Let me translate the final Kurt angle tweet for you guys. “I was drunk last night, I am sorry I like Randy I’m actually cool w him using my move and I miss my friends in wwe” definitely 1000% what happened 😂😂😂 Edit: yea see punk knows 🤣 Edit 2: you guys have to start watching a few shows ahead of your actual podcast starting point. Cody had the mask deemed as legal and part of his necessary attire. He had used it multiple times leading up to this. That’s why when it comes off Rey uses it with impunity. Despite wwes struggles with continuity this was established prior to this match Edit 3: again despite wwes corporate silliness I’m pretty sure the reason wwe spell “the corre” w 2 r’s is bc of the band having trademarked merch w that name on it…

Richaffinito

I was there! I was 11 at the time!

Robert Foster

Best 12 dollars I’ve ever spent.

You're wrong about Channing Tatum becoming too big of a star to do the G.I. Joe sequel. It's a little strange actually. After the first movie, Tatum seemed to have failed to become a big star at all. The first film also did mixed business. For that reason, The Rock was brought in as the bigger star when the film was shot and the film would dispose of Tatum (still under contract) quickly. In 2011 and 2012 Tatum became the big star he had failed to be before. This caused a serious problem, as audiences were not happy to see Tatum thrown under the Bus for The Final Boss. The film was pulled from the release schedule and reedited to change what happens with Tatum. They did reshoots, but it sounds like Tatum didn't want to be involved. Tatum was not happy with the G.I. Joe people in general. So Tatum was pulled for not being the bigger star but he was the bigger star. Because he was under contract he would have been forced to star in the movie. If the studio had any clue he would take off, they would have focused the movie around him. It was a huge mistake.

I think it could be credibly argued that Triple H is one of the only people in the business who never sold out. He's always thought of his own career first and foremost and acted accordingly. If anything he's remarkably consistent.

Dr. Judge, Private Eye

Oh! This is why that news bit about Cole vs Lawler. Thought it was gonna be on Worst Match Ever. Still could be.

Brody Allsep

Luke has it backwards. Guest Host Era was first, then Vickie briefly, then Bret Hart. Bret was taken out by The Nexus, as well as Vince later, which lead to an Anonymous GM they were unable to attack. Later Trips, People Power, and then The Authority took over.

Brody Allsep

I’ve heard he’s actually a pretty good dude IRL. Can’t stand him as a character or in ring, though.

Sean C

Same

I was like 9 around this time and I had loved Cena until he beat Rey for the WWE title the same night he won it. Rey was my hero growing up so I hated Cena for a good bit after that. Although I did also dislike the Rock at the time.

Bryan 2892-sweet

I thought it was Chasing Payments when it came out. Thought it was just about if she should keep chasing her dream or quit. Never paid attention to the non-chorus lyrics

Lawson Douvier

Edge isn't hiding sadness here, he doesn't know he's retiring yet. He find out a week later after he screws up his neck spearing Brodus Clay on the next Smackdown. That's why they advertise Del Rio vs. Edge in a ladder match for the next PPV. The retirement announcement wasn't the next night, it was two weeks later.

Straightedge47

F.Y.I: Still do kinda hate The Rock

Daniel Kennedy

As someone who was like 7 at the time. I hated the Rock. I thought he was a hypocrite and thought John Cena was right.

Daniel Kennedy

I remember at the time this happened, for some reason I was trying to convince myself it was a good Wrestlemania. I still enjoy Triple H/Undertaker. Punk/Orton and Mysterio Rhodes, but I sure was a silly billy.

Straightedge47

As someone who was around 10 when this was happening, I didn't have issues with Cena I for the most part liked him. So seeing the rock just felt like heel John Cena. I was more of a smackdown kid anyway but I definitely wasn't feeling the hype compared to everyone else at the time I'm sure.

Gavin Leonard

Sex, perfume, and ironing!

Iain McOmish

I’m going to be 28 this year, so I grew up as a John cena kid. Hell I’ve always been a die hard cena fan, dude was my hero growing up. But looking back now with hindsight, I can absolutely see why people HATED John cena lol. His booking didn’t help him, always just he wins lmao.

gabriel shute

Another point of evidence to add to "The old guard get all the cool stuff": Both Undertaker and HHH entered to licensed music (since removed from the Network/Netflix obviously). To be fair, they were both great entrances; Undertaker especially. Interesting also that, on Netflix, For Whom the Bell Tolls got the Jimmy Hart treatment for HHH, whereas Johnny Cash's cover of Ain't No Grave for Undertaker has been replaced completely.

Adam Burnham

Just checked Cole vs King was less than a minute shorter than Punk Randy The more you know

Edward Economous

i missed having the opening video package of the PPV at the start of the video. I assume that wasn't added due to this being the youtube one, but can we maybe add it in for the patreon version of the future youtube ones? I find it a great way to remember the general stuff going into the event before they get to talking about it.

Sunfire

so excited for this series! HOWEVER, am upset we aren’t getting a chronicle of the DIY saga, where we could have updated thoughts and feelings, starting at the cruiserweight classic, spanning through their run and then even looking at the raw episode when DIY were “called up” with ricochet and black aswell! Would’ve been goofy but also some great shows!

Brxdley.h

Small thing but it comes up a lot when WT Extra does Wrestlemanias - America the Beautiful is not the US National Anthem. Famously, despite being a massive Republican, Vince hates the Star-Spangled Banner - the actual anthem - and so insisted on playing a different patriotic song.

James Boulton

Edge has come out and said he didn't know anything about his neck until POST mania. He went and got scans and got the news after WrestleMania. So he and WWE didnt know he would have to retire as of this match.

Rich LeClaire III

Fun fact regarding the Triple H entrance, he was originally supposed to come out on horseback, but when they did it during the rehearsal it fell through the stage so had to change it. The whole viking vibe was cool (but too long obviously), it was slightly odd that it started with the arena going dark and a gong sounding I thought though.

Charles Downend

I would’ve been 9 years old watching this WrestleMania the rock to me was presented as the heel in the story thought he was a dick

Callum

I don't find your voice annoying, Luke. I often put Wrestletalk Extra on in the background as I enjoy just hearing you and Oli chatting with each other 🙂

Figby

A better person? Do you know him? If not then what are you talking about?

Jamaal Ellison

maybe he should be a better person and better wrestler. maybe try once in his life.

Felixious Zheng

And I thank you boys for watching it again so we don’t have to. You’re doing God’s work.

Tim Arendt

I'm so sick of the Miz slander it's unnecessary

Jamaal Ellison

OLI: WrestleMania 32 asks you to hold its beer.

WrestleTalk

I actually have some form of affection for this show, solely because it was the first Wrestlemania I ever watched. I do have some nostalgia for it. I will still argue the HHH/Taker match is great. Edge/Del Rio and Punk/Orton are okay. But watching it back as an adult it is by and large a dogshit show. Even as a dumb kid I hated those Rock promos and would skip past them (I had to watch this on DVD and actually still have it stored somewhere in my house). You’ll never catch me arguing this is a good show. Despite that, I don’t mind it being my first Wrestlemania. Because I experienced the worst right off the bat, it’s only up from there. And if I can withstand this then I can watch through anything.

Tim Arendt

Christina Crawford mentioned by Oli is the sister of Alicia Fox & I think appeared on Smackdown in a segment with Edge & Vickie

Benn Waller

The delivery of "This...is shit" from Luke properly made me laugh when talking about Rock's opening promo.

Charles Downend

I remember watching this show live and it was so crap outside of hhh Vs undertaker and cm punk Vs orton

The Big boswell

Fully agree that Scream IV is underrated Luke! I have a feeling I know why certain people didn’t like it as well, but I’ll be called woke or something lmao

Amomantra94

I think they're chanting Cody because this is in Atlanta which is Cody's hometown

james knight

There is no way they knew that Edge was retiring. The next Smackdown they book a rematch between Edge and Del Rio for Extreme Rules. Also Guest Hosts were 2009 so we’ve already had that at this point.

Homerstar

on the cube point, i did laugh that Luke basically explaining that when things are far away things look smaller

Shawn Lindsay

And they're reviewing WM 32 as well, oh god 🤣, poor Luke

benito riggio

Ye talked about adle and movies for so long, that by the time ye got back into the reactions of WrestleMania. I had forgotten it was a wrestling podcast. Hilarious, top work lads!

Aaron Downey

This is a measure of how much Luke cares about us Pledgehammers

Misha Sumra

Luke once said this and WM32 were the only PPVs he wouldn’t review for Patreon. I’m glad he didn’t call in sick.

Chris Smith

Thanks you for suffering for our entertainment guys.

Jaws 24

Eight hours dropping in one go? Well that’s the rest of Saturday sorted, thanks guys!
