The Lapsed Fan

30 Week Journey: Wrestlemania XXIX (2013)


Listen Later

It was twice in a lifetime when John Cena and The Rock tussled at WrestleMania 29, the penultimate stop on The Lapsed Fan’s 30-week Mania voyage.

Hosts Jack Encarnacao and JP Sarro dive into Metlife Stadium to examine the top revenue-producing event in WWE history, with recollections of taking the show in live in East Rutherford, the brilliance of CM Punk, the atmospherics of the Undertaker’s last Streak victory, Brock Lesnar’s hulking visage, and the finisher jukebox that was Rock/Cena II, which turned out to be likely Cena’s last moment in the brightest Mania spotlight

Your co-chairmen cover:

- In his last Mania appearance, how CM Punk managed a classic without copious weapons shots and No DQ stips

- CM Punk’s finest moment? Discuss.

- The confused psychology of Rock embracing Cena after their uber-lucrative feud comes to an end

- Ryback is fed less

- Big E and Fandango make their in-ring debuts on the grand stage, and other pushes that went nowhere

- The Shield debuts at Mania – was Roman’s upside apparent even then, when no one popped particularly loud for the superman punch?

- At the Hall of Fame, Bob Backlund screams that he works out harder than anybody in here

- Triple H locks on a kimura, and the Universe face palms

- WWE calls all-in on the immigration issue in one last attempt to get Alberto Del Rio over the top. Featuring Zeb Coulter’s WrestleMania moment.

All that and and so much more, including Dave Meltzer on the dynamic of Cena/Rock II, the finish of HHH/Lesnar, and why CM Punk ultimately looked back on this night with discontent.

One. More. Stop. Left. It’s the Lapsed Fan’s 30-week sojourn through WrestleMania history, and stop No. 29 is yours for download now!
