Episode 57 - Battle of the Billionaires
Manage episode 336071540 series 2947685
The year is 2007 and WWE is about to make the leap from simply international to a global entity, and to do that they would need to have the largest Wrestlemania to date. On a card that would feature John Cena taking on Shawn Michaels in a battle between two faces of the company for the WWE title, The Undertaker's streak against Batista's World Heavyweight title, all taking place in same city as the previous largest Wrestlemania, Detriot Michigan, home to Wrestlemania 3, WWE needed something a little extra, something that would TRUMP their previous grabs at headlines and mainstream media. That something would go on, unfortunately, to become the 45th President of the United States. That something was Donald Trump.
JimJam (@cozydude97) From the Grapple Guys (@GrappleGuys) and Close Personal Friend ThatDuffGuyPat (@ThatDuffGuyPat) join the pod that has been a year in the making as we watch the Battle of the Billionaires from Wrestlemania 23. We also talk about Tumblr, representation in pro wrestling, and the rise of Womens wrestling
