I can't express just how COOL it was to be at Wrestlemania XL. Wrestling has had such a huge boom in the last year and a half, and this entire storyline made me feel like a kid again. Every promo, every minute, every twist, every turn, WWE made a true masterpiece of cinema and drama. Hearing the rock's music hit on the biggest stage, seeing the dethroning of the greatest reign of the last 3 decades, this year's mania is one that will forever hold a place in my heart. Thank you WWE for making wrestling cool again.
Facts man. Wrestling will always be amazing for things like this. Can't wait for the next year's coming, it's starting to gear up to be the best era next to the attitude era.
Right!!! Had someone told my 8yr old self in 2000 while watching their rivalry that they’d be running WWE in the future one day I would call them a liar 😂
The McMahon family has Made a Mess out of So many wrestlers lives. All for Profit. I sure would H8 to be them when they face God with all that sin on their souls. 😁
I already respected the hell out of Triple H but after seeing how involved and passionate he is behind the scenes, He really was the best man for the job.
Seth Rollins was the MVP of Wrestlemania. The fact he competed back to back matches at Wrestlemania whilst he was carrying a injury is insane. Huge respect to him. 35:44
Night 1: Seth Rollins teams up with Cody Rhodes against Roman Reigns & The Rock and lost a tag team match Night 2: Seth Rollins lost his World Heavyweight Title to Drew McIntyre, brings back The Shield's music, tried to save Cody Rhodes from The Rock, and gets attacked by Roman Reigns
Honestly, the last ten to Fifteen minutes of Mania Sunday had us all on another planet, that's how you do a Main Event for WrestleMania!! Respect to all invovled!
"This business just gets you right in the heart sometimes," said Michael Cole. "Pro wrestling is beautiful," says Pat McAfee. One of the greatest Wrestlemania finales ever. 57:14
I actually went back & watched that promo after this. You could see their was something bothering Cody that none of us the fans understood. People need to remember that this wasn't just a "2 Year story" for Cody, this has been a very real story for him since he was 8 years old. This gave it all the context. 💯
Had Bobby Eaton not passed away quite early the Midnight Express would be in the Hall of Fame together with Corny already. Cornette said it on his pod that Vince told him he has a home in WWE. Had Vince given the go-ahead right after Corny inducted the Rock & Roll Express, the Midnights would be in the Hall. Corny, Dennis, and Stan lost Bobby and it won't amount to much even if somebody high up in Stamford tried convincing them to be inducted in WWE's HoF. Ig that's that.
What really got me about this is how Cody was talking after he went out and said he wouldn't fight Roman at WM, and how he talked about having faith in the fans. Because look what it got us - and got him.
My heart swelled when I heard Cole say, "Finish. The. Story". But that heartbreaking moment between Paul Haymen and Roman at the top of the ramp hurt...
@@iAddictions763 At least give him a bit of respect damn 🥺 The only reason he's working a part-time schedule is because of his health condition. Having Leukaemia and always needing to get chemotherapy is a massive bump for his ability to show up as much as he wants. You can't really blame him that's just Cancer, Roman and the Creative Team are playing the part of his character "I'm the champ, I'm the best, I beat everybody why should I bother showing up every week when I dominated for 3 years?"
McAfee said it best, "Wrestling is a beautiful thing." I'll be honest, I thank Triple H and Cody for letting me live this moment. I had checked out of wrestling for almost 8 years because I felt burnt out by what WWE was. As soon as I saw Cody's return, I became invested. And as soon as Triple H became Head of Creative, it just became better and better. I can't wait to see what WWE has in store for us in the coming years.
Seth Rollins was the MVP of Wrestlemania. The fact he competed back to back matches at Wrestlemania whilst he was carrying a injury is insane. Huge respect to him
And he played the supporting role without bitching about it, hed did hos job and did it brilliantly. Takes a big man to step aside like that and just be there to support the other guys the way he did
@@gauntlion839how was Seth getting screwed? He was added into the match randomly because cm punk was injured he had nothing to do with the bloodline at that point.

@@marcohavokkhaosWrong. Its definitely a top 10 (for me personally top 5) Sami vs Gunther , US title triple threat , Io vs Bayley were awesome... the tag team title ladder match was fun , Cody vs Roman is one of the greatest WM main events of all time. . .

This gave us possibly the best 3 month stretch of storytelling EVER. Everybody was locked in also and delivering all time promos of there careers and 10/10 character work. It all culminated in possibly the most entertaining, shocking and chaotic and Dusty styled final 10 minutes. The final minutes of Mania was the greatest ending to a Mania ever arguably.

The most beautiful thing of all this was despite knowing that Night 2 would be his last as "The Champion" holding that belt, still Roman never let that smile wipe off from his face. He was ready to do everything for the business, the product and us fans. Truly, "Professional Wrestling" is beautiful and I love it man 🤗

@@stsmondal1126 You can't complain man. In the 2021 and 2022 he gave many memorable moments and was present for most of the shows. In 2023 he started doing this and Of course he was a heel. That is what a heel does best not giving into the people's demand (KayFabe).
They took one of the most short sighted bad calls in wrestling history that could've possibly derailed Cody's career and turned it into one of the best payoffs ever. It reminded all of us why we love wrestling. We love the skill, the athleticism, the story telling, how when it's done right, it gets you emotionally invested in the story and can make you cheer and cry in the same match. Well done to everyone involved.
The way he was twisting his words around saying he was NOT having Rock vs Roman. "You could make an argument that that's a good idea..." 😂 We're lucky he's in charge.
Rock is the boss now, literally has a seat on the board, is childhood friends with the CEO, and the owner of the parent company is his old agent. And Rock STILL got outpoliticked by HHH. It's all about the game.
It made sense for the Undertaker to came back as he was the real Final Boss of Wrestling as he was mostly undefeated on the biggest main event there is. Congratulations everyone involved ❤
Seriously…? It was just like anything else they do in this style it was just Cody talking 70%… Rock talking about what we all already knew & a little bit of Roman to round out the 100%… I suppose my issue is… it’s not bad, but was it worth an EXTRA 3 MONTH wait? Hell no! This was just little clips edited together. We all already knew everything said in it.
I’m only 26 minutes in watching, I must say, I love how we have two of the biggest names in the rock and Triple H that truly know what the people want and need to push this business into the future. I can’t wait for wrestlemania NEXT YEAR💪🏾💪🏾
Over 20 years of watching wrestling. I cannot tell you how it felt when that 123 hit my tears just flowed naturally. The greatest feel good story. Wrestling done right is the most beautiful thing
this was top notch story build by far. thank you to the WWE team for an incredible year build and culmination of epic sports entertainment. As a fan of watching WWE for most of my life, this was one for the core memory for sure.
This honestly was one of The best stories in WM History and of WWE in a while. Like The heat from debunking Cody was real. And then. Him becoming a hero and finally being The Champion AND face of WWE. Perfection.
For someone who started watching WWE in 2017. This storyline all the way from January to April was somenthing I’ve never seen ever. What a rollercoaster that one was🥲🥲
@@BrayzenBullnone of those stories lasted long or told a story that actually changed wrestling except for Austin vs Vince nice try. Austin vs Vince was more of a rivalry than a story and dx vs the foundation isn’t anything like the bloodline you can go back and look at it for yourself
After 20 years of watching WWE, I believe that this was the best Road to Wrestlemania ever. The payoff was excellent, and the build-up was incredible. I'm grateful to HHH and the crew behind the scenes.
The Phoenix crackhead line will go down as one of the best WWE insults of all time. It's up there with the time Bret Hart said, "If America was to get an enema, they'd stick the hose right here in Pittsburgh."
Austin insulting Jake Robert's was good, too. "All he's gotta do is go buy him a cheap bottle of Thunderbird and try to dig back some of that courage he had in his prime."
This was single handidly the greatest road to wrestlemania of all time and I've been watching wrestling since 1997. The way they had everyones emotions for that long of a time for a storyline was generational.
Seth nad Cody's in ring chemistry is insane, whether their opponents or teammates. Seth barely being able to walk but atill dragging himaelf into the ring at the end of the night just shows his heart for this business
75% of the doc is the Rock glazing himself while his ego betrays him, 20% of Triple H saying he counter booked to keep the Cody story open & 5% other. Like there is a reason this took so long to come out.
the rock is a legend, but the rock hasnt been in WWE since 2004. All other times he has been "Dwayne Johnson" pretending to be the Rock. And he is a Public Image suckup sellout.
Best thing about this is you can see people wearing cm punk shirts and cheering cody winning the rumble and rock and roman tshirt people cheering cody winning WrestleMania
To hell with Steve Austin he already submit his legacy. The only thing he wants to do is just stay at home and chill unless you pay him a lot of money to come and that was one of the big issues that he did not come was because of the money.
People hate on Rock for his ego which is understandable, but he's always been able to read the room and know when it's time to adapt. Mania X8 against Hogan, he was supposed to be the babyface but he saw the crowd reaction to Hogan, so he played the heel and called the match with him in the ring. Ended up giving a match for the ages that ended with Hulkamania running wild one more time.
@@TheTennesseeFistMachine Yours is too if you can't see that is involvement made the build better and different than just a rematch between Reigns and Rhodes
@@TheTennesseeFistMachine Ironically thats what makes him such an amazing heel, he is just tapping into what he already has its why Vince was such a great villain too
@@zzrr933The Rock pulled an arrogant power play because he thought he was bigger than everything HHH was doing in WWE for the last 2 years and quickly found out how wrong he was.
Thank you WWE for giving us this for free. It could have easily been exclusive to Peacock, but you put it on RUclips for everyone.

The cody rod sucking is disgusting and childish, grow up you will ya
Can you believe in the middle of all this that Rock had In-N-Out for the very first time? Crazy.
Twice!
It was the 3rd time he had it for the 1st time 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@kgotsomaphike8132no that was Burger King. This is his 5th time having in n out for the first time
🤣
Or maybe he didn't brother
Seth was a beast to compete in those matches with a bad knee...incredible.
We need more documentaries like this on RUclips
Triple H out politicking the rock like its 2000 all over again 😂
The way he was twisting his words around saying he was NOT having Rock vs Roman. "You could make an argument that that's a good idea..." 😂
We're lucky he's in charge.
I mean he learned his craft under the 2nd best backstage politician.
Rock is the boss now, literally has a seat on the board, is childhood friends with the CEO, and the owner of the parent company is his old agent. And Rock STILL got outpoliticked by HHH. It's all about the game.
Politicking my arse, hhh is just an employee now his daddy is gone😂Rock is on the board; his boss!
@@tgarriivmeaand how you play it
The guy screaming at Roman at the rumble duooo😂😂😂😂
This wrestlemania had all the feels.
It made sense for the Undertaker to came back as he was the real Final Boss of Wrestling as he was mostly undefeated on the biggest main event there is. Congratulations everyone involved ❤
This is the best WWE Behind The Scenes show I've watched
I could've watched another hour. Would love to have seen more footage backstage after each night of the main event.
It was too real
Seriously…? It was just like anything else they do in this style it was just Cody talking 70%… Rock talking about what we all already knew & a little bit of Roman to round out the 100%…
I suppose my issue is… it’s not bad, but was it worth an EXTRA 3 MONTH wait? Hell no! This was just little clips edited together. We all already knew everything said in it.
the amount of hugs in this is insane lol
Hugamania
😂😂😂
Bayley is proud
One of the most incredible wwe storylines ever the building the efforts everything was perfect
I’m only 26 minutes in watching, I must say, I love how we have two of the biggest names in the rock and Triple H that truly know what the people want and need to push this business into the future. I can’t wait for wrestlemania NEXT YEAR💪🏾💪🏾
Over 20 years of watching wrestling. I cannot tell you how it felt when that 123 hit my tears just flowed naturally. The greatest feel good story. Wrestling done right is the most beautiful thing
The pop that Roman Reigns is gonna get when he returns is so gonna be insane 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I Agree
🥶🥶🥶
@@Girish667 the Goosebumps too
@@thierrydeakin he's so over with the crowd now
What if he returns with the "truth reigns" theme,, his initial theme
Kudos to Drew also for doing his part with Rollins soo well!!
The chemistry and the friendship between the Rock and Triple H is fantastic to see.
It was great to relive all this at Wrestlemania. The last 5 minutes of the Cody vs Roman main event at Wrestlemania night 2 was so good.
53:26 Even triple H Wasn't ready for that😂..."Ghad damn"
He wasn’t 😂
A ”F’N,” MASTERPIECE
this was top notch story build by far. thank you to the WWE team for an incredible year build and culmination of epic sports entertainment.
As a fan of watching WWE for most of my life, this was one for the core memory for sure.
This honestly was one of The best stories in WM History and of WWE in a while. Like The heat from debunking Cody was real. And then. Him becoming a hero and finally being The Champion AND face of WWE. Perfection.
This is clearly a build for Rock vs Roman next year and I love it!
They teased Rock vs. Cody lol
I think Wrestlemania 42 will be Rock Vs Roman
I hope so until crybabies ruin it again smh 🤦
Seth Rollins is such a workhorse. An unexpected addition to the story but he made it work. A modern day great.
It all just fell into place, it's quite masterful. Same as Bryan winning ten years ago.
For someone who started watching WWE in 2017. This storyline all the way from January to April was somenthing I’ve never seen ever. What a rollercoaster that one was🥲🥲
There’s never really been a storyline like this , imo the best storyline WWE has ever had so far
Welcome to Pro-Wrestling and the blurring of reality and work. It's what had made WWF & WCW what they were.
@@javiercruz5499
Vince Vs Austin
Invasion angle (at the start)
Kane Vs Undertaker
DX Vs Hart Foundation
I start watching from late 2013 and didnt miss a single Raw Smackdown and PLE since then
@@BrayzenBullnone of those stories lasted long or told a story that actually changed wrestling except for Austin vs Vince nice try.
Austin vs Vince was more of a rivalry than a story and dx vs the foundation isn’t anything like the bloodline you can go back and look at it for yourself
I was one of the lucky 140,000 + people in the two nights, that was there to live it! Greatest WrestleMania ever!
Same! It was an experience none of us there will ever forget,! Thank you HHH
Stardust's WrestleMania, biggest joke of the year
I was there myself both nights Second floor level behind the Wrestlemania stage section 237 in my hometown Philadelphia 😊
Same! I want to do it again in Vegas
Same here!!!
Crazy to see HHH and The Rock working together!
After 20 years of watching WWE, I believe that this was the best Road to Wrestlemania ever. The payoff was excellent, and the build-up was incredible. I'm grateful to HHH and the crew behind the scenes.
This is the best arc of story of a wreslemainia build I had saw since 2012
Both on accident. The Yes Movement & Cody Cry Baby Movement
Tears😂 cody deserved it @@marcohavokkhaos
Kofimania?
The Phoenix crackhead line will go down as one of the best WWE insults of all time. It's up there with the time Bret Hart said, "If America was to get an enema, they'd stick the hose right here in Pittsburgh."
The only crack heard in Phoenix is Alex Murello 😅😅😅
@@CodyHolloway8 Murello should be in federal prison
Bret was right about that.
Austin insulting Jake Robert's was good, too.
"All he's gotta do is go buy him a cheap bottle of Thunderbird and try to dig back some of that courage he had in his prime."
This was single handidly the greatest road to wrestlemania of all time and I've been watching wrestling since 1997. The way they had everyones emotions for that long of a time for a storyline was generational.
1:39 like how when HHH walked in he shook everyone hands
This is the most they've showed behind the currain in recent memory! Wild.
These two matches will go down as two of the best in WWE history! Thank you WWE for giving us a once in a lifetime storyline!
Watching this… goosebumps!! One of the greatest times in wrestling history!!!
Seth nad Cody's in ring chemistry is insane, whether their opponents or teammates. Seth barely being able to walk but atill dragging himaelf into the ring at the end of the night just shows his heart for this business
that bell toll of the Undertaker hit here louder and harder than ever.
Undertaker is the real final boss
@@damonselimi7393 Champions Come and go, but there will always be only one Deadman.
I was their bro it was madness
The fact Roman was smiling as he took the 3 really hits. Top guy
He lost with a smile on his face, like he talk the lose very humble
He was probably proud that Cody was the only one worthy to end his run at the top.
Greatest pivot greatest story and its still got more
My god. This is an absolute masterpiece. Thankyou WWE ❤️
And that hard work behind the curtain has to be respected.
This was by far the best Wrestlemania ever! And thanks for giving us this Behind the Curtain for free
Yes this and last year both were great under HHH
75% of the doc is the Rock glazing himself while his ego betrays him, 20% of Triple H saying he counter booked to keep the Cody story open & 5% other. Like there is a reason this took so long to come out.
the rock is a legend, but the rock hasnt been in WWE since 2004. All other times he has been "Dwayne Johnson" pretending to be the Rock. And he is a Public Image suckup sellout.
Best thing about this is you can see people wearing cm punk shirts and cheering cody winning the rumble and rock and roman tshirt people cheering cody winning WrestleMania
Getting the Final Boss out of this was unbelievable!
He has a character to be now..
“There’s no one on the planet like the rock” 9:14 Stone cold would like a word with you sir.
To hell with Steve Austin he already submit his legacy. The only thing he wants to do is just stay at home and chill unless you pay him a lot of money to come and that was one of the big issues that he did not come was because of the money.
Dwayne tried to steal Mania, but the people DIDN'T WANT IT.
People hate on Rock for his ego which is understandable, but he's always been able to read the room and know when it's time to adapt. Mania X8 against Hogan, he was supposed to be the babyface but he saw the crowd reaction to Hogan, so he played the heel and called the match with him in the ring. Ended up giving a match for the ages that ended with Hulkamania running wild one more time.
Meh, the dude's ego is out of Control. And this docu only validated that sentiment
His ego is ridiculous
@@TheTennesseeFistMachine Yours is too if you can't see that is involvement made the build better and different than just a rematch between Reigns and Rhodes
@@TheTennesseeFistMachine Ironically thats what makes him such an amazing heel, he is just tapping into what he already has its why Vince was such a great villain too
He even dug his grave once for lying at his social media at saying that he's been eating on In-n-Out "for the first time" many times
This documentary is all about how talented, intelligent, benevolent, humble, gracious, special, and all around incredible his holiness the rock is.
wtf did I just read. Delusional clown
I mean he actually is all those things. Bro has achieved everything. Meanwhile you are crying about him.
@@zzrr933The Rock pulled an arrogant power play because he thought he was bigger than everything HHH was doing in WWE for the last 2 years and quickly found out how wrong he was.
he's a great man, it's just that brian is there to feed his ego.
Yeah, the whole doc is just Rock glazing himself.
the way triple h said cody it’s our job to navigate you to greatness is awesome
This was an editing master class on how to make everyone look good within a documentary. This was an awesome bit of content.
Ever since Mcman left, the company has made a comeback so hard
I was able to be in the crowd that final night. A true bucket list moment I will never forget. “Damn it I love professional wrestling!”
