30 Week Journey: Wrestlemania XVI (2000) - a podcast by The Lapsed Fan

Reenter the new millennium with The Lapsed Fan’s deep dive into WrestleMania 2000, as the TLF 30-week, 30-WrestleMania journey rumbles along.

Hosts Jack Encarnacao and JP Sarro discuss the first – and hopefully last – Fatal Four Way main event in Mania history, as Triple H announces in no uncertain terms he’ll be the top guy in the organization when he becomes the first heel to go over in a Mania show-closing match.

Get on board as the co-chairmen dissect:

- Ice T keeping it real by telling the crowd to “grab” their “bitches” (pre Law & Order)
- The post-Russo overcompensating by the creative team to keep a risqué flavor about the product
- Undertaker becomes a chatty, mortal biker overnight
- Did the Rock miss his chance at a WrestleMania moment here?
- First Mania as a public company for the WWE
- Pete Gas gets color
- Head Cheese
- Welcome to WrestleMania Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Dudleys, Hardys, and other assorted key players.

Plus another sterling installment from Dave Meltzer on the state of the industry in 2000 – WWE’s most lucrative year – as the wheels begin to fall off at WCW.

Get Lapsed across the face as a one-of-a-kind accounting of WrestleMania and the WWE continues with installment 16 of the TLF journey, available now for download!
