No one had any idea what to expect when the Covid-19 pandemic shut down the world in March of 2020 and completely upended the plans for WrestleMania. We reminisce at what our lives looked back in the early stages of life with the coronavirus and how we dealt with the world's shutdown before taking a look back possibly the greatest cinematic match of all time watchalong style. Along the way we'll discuss what this match might have looked like had it taken place inside a ring, the movie influences the match reminds us of, the excellent addition of Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson to the festivities, the influence the Thunderdome era still has on WWE toay, and why this match clicked in a way that so many other matches during the pandemic never did.
