We finish our ManiaWeekendMania miniseries with a bang rather than a whimper, as Alan finally loses the plot. We talk for way to long about Wrestlemania, but still manage to miss out important matches, and cover off a few highlights from the most intense weekend of live graps viewing possible (almost). Thanks for all your support gang!!
