Goldberg vs. Sting on the 9/14/98 episode of WCW Nitro and John Cena vs. Rey Mysterio on the 7/25/11 episode of WWE Raw are discussed by Jason Mann and Sawyer Paul. We talk about Sting's terrible Wolfpac outfit, what we liked about Goldberg despite his limitations, WCW-NWO silliness of the time, sneaky Hollywood Hulk Hogan, the weirdness of Mysterio winning and losing his first WWE title on the same night, how Cena comes off as the fortunate son, and sending text messages to Kevin Nash.
Jason Mann and Sawyer Paul continue their annual tradition of discussing WrestleMania's prior main event with a look at Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns (and later Seth Rollins) at WrestleMania 31. They talk about what makes Brock Lesnar so different from any other WWE wrestler, why Roman Reigns has had such difficulty getting fan acceptance, where this ranks among WrestleMania main events, the power dynamic between WWE decisionmakers and grassroots fans and the parallels in politics, and much more.
Jason Mann and Steven Graham from the Pro-Wrestling Super Show talk about the Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin feud from 1996 and 1997, specifically their Survivor Series 1996, WrestleMania 13, and In Your House: Revenge of the Taker singles matches. They discuss why Austin and Hart worked so well together, how Canadians saw the feud as opposed to Americans, and much more. #WWE #wrestling
