Fat Joe, T-Pain Share WrestleMania Memories, Watch Cody Rhodes Win Historic WWE Universal Championship
Rappers/ longtime wrestling fans Fat Joe and T-Pain shared memories (including visiting WrestleMania with Big Pun) and watched Cody Rhodes win big.
While Mania in 1999 (headlined by the Rock vs. “Stone Cold” Steve Austin) was a one-night event in an arena, it has grown so big that it takes place over several nights in hootball stadiums. After thousands of fans told WWE “We Want Cody” via social media and in chants at live events, the league pivoted: The Rock instead teamed with Reigns during Mania’s night one, where they were victorious. Snoop Dogg — a member of WWE’s Hall of Fame — held down multiple duties at the event: He was a color commentator when “The Almighty” Bobb Lashley and the Street Profits were victorious against the Final Testament faction in a “Philadelphia Street Fight.” He also made an onstage appearance later in the evening, getting into the ring to toast the crowd and announce the attendance figures: 72,755 for Sunday, and more than 145.000 thousand for the weekend, confirming how far the sport has come since it was last in town, a quarter century ago.
