It’s Been a Long Road – Wrestlemania XXX Thoughts

Posted on by

Well, it took me a week to actually recover from the trip, the show, the drive, the lack of hotel room reservations, lower-back cramps, the 32oz Budweisers on Bourbon Street, and the Eblizabeth. No, I didn’t spell that name wrong. Her name is Eblizabeth.

It is safe to say that our trip to Wrestlemania XXX was totally amazing. Some of the most fun I have had in my life has been at the Wrestlemanias that I have attended. Wrestlemania XXX didn’t disappoint in that way at all. Brandon is currently compiling a bunch of videos that we shot on the road into a travelogue. This article isn’t about that. This article is a list of random observations that I made along the way, some with almost no context. So, enjoy that… I guess?

  1. The 2014 Toyota Corolla that we rented was an admirable workhorse of a car.
  2. Rain storms in Alabama are no joke.
  3. Steve Corino gets everybody over.
  4. $5 Wrestling is amazing.
  5. I wanna hug Freight Train.
  6. Daniel Bryan is never gonna get over.
  7. Road trips are made for podcasts.
  8. Book a hotel before you leave. Double-check the date.
  9. Don’t drive with your wallet in your pocket.
  10. Hulk Hogan has no idea where he is.
  11. Stone Cold still rocks a crowd.
  12. The Undertaker lost or something.
  13. Cesaro is phenomenal.
  14. Wrestlecon is something to check out for next year.
  15. Don’t go to Axxess.
  16. Don’t go to the Hall of Fame.
  17. The cemeteries in New Orleans are beautiful.
  18. Broooooooooooooooooooock Lesnar.
  19. First row upper bowl tickets were cheap and amazing.
  20. HHH is a fan of TMNT, lasers, water bottles, and sledgehammers.
  21. Joey Ryan is huge in person.
  22. Cliff Compton is totally awesome in person.
  23. Kevin Steen isn’t as fat as the internet thinks he is.

  25. Spider crawling scares white rappers.

  30. I don’t understand the people that dress up for Wrestlemania.
