@@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?"
@@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. . .
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
And in the words of Shaemus, I hope he keeps putting out Banger after Banger after Banger. I'm already excited for WM41. I can see another 2 night story. Roman and his team has to beat Bloodline 2.0 for Roman to face the Final Boss. I know it's basically a repeat, but I think Rock wins night 2.
I like how they did this documentary in shoot and keyfabe, the keyfabe part with The Rock telling it was all his idea, the pivot and the creative decisions 😅
Triple H confirmed a couple months ago on a podcast with Logan Paul that it was The Rocks idea to turn heel and pivot. He literally stepped aside and did what was best for the fans and the business. All The Rock haters already have their minds made up and facts won't change it
I'll always boo Rock and Austin and HHH and all of the Attitude Era guys because I'm a WCW guy and I do NOT let anything go, ever. But I can appreciate what goes on behind the scenes like this.
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.
Ty to WWE for posting this for free on UA-cam with NO ads. I have Peacock and watch every PPV so it doesnt affect me. BUT, I can appreciate when, a couple of months ago i couldnt afford it. So im very thankful for this...
Not that great for taking an EXTRA 3 months to put this out… there was no reason this couldn’t have been out 3 days after WM. I don’t get what everyone’s raving about… everything in it we all already knew… it was just shots after segments Good… but not worth the wait imo

So when Rock came back and Cody gave up his spot, the crowd turned on him and we got the whole Cody Crybabies movement.

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
Words will never be enough to describe how grateful I am to have witnessed this historic event in person. Growing up we didn’t have a lot of money, so attending events like this was a near impossibility. However now being more in control over my destination in life, I was able to wait on tables for an entire summer to cough up the 2 grand it took to attend this event… Thankfully it’s one more thing to cross off the bucket list. I’ve always dream of being apart of Wrestlemania (legitimately) in a professional capacity, in fact I even wrestled for 7 years on the independent circuit but had to stop due to the birth of my daughter. I have no regrets whatsoever, buuut that fire inside- that passion won’t rest until I here “Yay” or “Nay” from the WWE directly. I can’t tell you how tough it was watching Austin Theory in the ring at WM 40 knowing we used to wrestle in the same company together… Feeling like you should be in there too, and more importantly knowing you have what it takes to be in there too and win that honest Philly crowd. But WWE’s cut off age is 30 and sadly I discovered this at 30. It was the hardest thing professionally I’ve ever read. Knowing the sacrifices I made during those ages of acceptance to be apart of WWE as a performer (my mid and early twenties) to help care for my ailing mother who is now at stage 4 in her fight against cancer. But again, no regrets. Thankfully guys like Diamond Dallas Page and Batista are real motivators in showing it doesn’t matter how old you are… If you have it, then no one can deny you. This time at Wrestlemania it showed me that no matter what, it’s possible. And THAT is what truly saved me from the domesticated, submissive, 9-5 mindset… Going home every night unfulfilled. I refuse to let myself become every thing I am not. Hopefully WWE will allow a guy who’s above that 30 year age limit a chance to show his worth to attend the club. 🙏 I pray for this. And thank you Paul Levesque for a beautiful memory at WM 40 that will stay with me forever.
This doc could have been 2 hours easily and I would have still watched it. This was worth the wait. It was so cool to see the brotherhood between Triple H and The Rock.
The fact that they listened to the fans and pivoted to giving us Cody finishing the story marked for a WrestleMania that will forever be remembered. This is what has been missing from WWE is listening to the fans, captivating storylines, and long term storytelling. Its a great time to be a wrestling fan.
This entire storyline seems like one big lie, why would there be a camera on Roman and why would Cody point at him if he knew he wasn’t fighting him anymore. Why would Cody even be booked to win the rumble and not cm punk. Why was there still cameras around Cody all the time if he wasn’t going to be on the WM card. I’m not buying the lie that there were no plans for Cody after the rumble
@@TysonEmmy You know what I am going to tell something suprising to you , different people have different opinions, and it is not wrong to consider this the greatest WrestleMania, there were so many great moments, great matches and also the end of an era .
When normal people watch wrestling fans like us getting choked up and emotional about wrestling, they think it’s weird for somebody to get so invested in people in underwear fighting for belts. You have to have gone through the entire journey and love professional wrestling to truly appreciate all the entertainment it provides.
Wrestling is basically just an exaggerated TV show about sports at the end of the day. It's hard to explain,but when people can engage with the story, everything starts to seem completely natural
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.
HHH might have the most iconic and decorated career in wrestling history other than Vince. The top heel in the most popular era in wrestling history during the attitude era, was a part of one of most successful factions in DX and best friends with founders of the other most successful faction in NWO with Nash and Hall, spearheaded the coolest brand in WWE during its terrible years in the late 2010s with NXT, and now running the show in WWE. Now they are going into Netflix which is going to be a brand new era. This dude is on top of the wrestling world right now, and we are super lucky to have him!
I was at the show when Rock came back and stole Cody's spot. It was a fun night, but the controversy that happened after was shocking. But im glad this years Wrestlemania turned into an amazing game changer.
When people ultimately judge Triple H's tenure as head of creative for WWE...this is the moment that they will point to as the starting point of his legacy as a booker for the company. Wrestlemania 40 was the feather in the cap of HHH he needed to show the world "I am the one that is the best for this job"
I do wish they had shown Cody presenting Seth, Rock, and Roman their Rolexes. It was a class momemt that would have made people realize what these 4 men mean to each other and their journey together. It wouldn't have hurt future builds because it was all about respect.
@@marcohavokkhaos Romans run got really boring. Great wrestler but he literally never showed up and his matches almost always ended the same way. Overrated title run.
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.
This whole Documentary was absolutely Amazing! Seeing when Cody won his second Royal Rumble to challenge Roman, only for The Rock showed up to challenge him until the "We want Cody" trend change there plans. The Rock turning Heel with his Hollywood theme back, Insane segments like when Rock beat up Cody outside in the Rain and Wrestlemania 40 being absolutely Incredible. The Main Event between Reigns and Rhodes was Insane with Jey, John Cena, Seth and Undertaker coming to help Rhodes out. Seth being Cody's Shield from Roman and Cody defeating Roman to finally finished his Story!
Man I would love to see behind the scenes where, for example, The Rock and Roman speaking and smiling with Cody before the match, you know what I mean? Or where they hug each other after the match because everything went great like planned!
@@shortesnameofalltimesame but since it involved Bulling on the part of Cody fans I don’t think they want to shine a light on a dark moment in the whole build up
@GlebCherkasski u can tell that’s what actually happened! The Rock, Roman, & Cody definitely all was celebrating in the backstage every week throughout the whole lead up to Mania & at Mania! They just didn’t show it to keep “kayfabe”
@@AlexisStreams but there were some good matches that I considered to be one of the best wrestlemania matches like Roman reigns versus Cody Rhodes is an example of a awesome wrestlemania 40 match.

@@TysonEmmy You know what I am going to tell something suprising to you , different people have different opinions, and it is not wrong to consider this the greatest WrestleMania, there were so many great moments, great matches and also the end of an era .
@TysonEmmy you're not wrong.
Cap
Thank you WWE for making this available to us on UA-cam 😢❤❤❤
15:12 “that's a blue chipper right there” Jim Ross 😂😂😂😂
Would've have been nice to have seen roman hug cody saying congratulations
Too arrogant for that
Seth makes heavyweight championship smooth, that's why he was emotional at the end of night 2 of W-XL.
When normal people watch wrestling fans like us getting choked up and emotional about wrestling, they think it’s weird for somebody to get so invested in people in underwear fighting for belts. You have to have gone through the entire journey and love professional wrestling to truly appreciate all the entertainment it provides.
Yet it's fine if it's tv show. Wrestlers go through way more then actors
Amen, brother
Wrestling is basically just an exaggerated TV show about sports at the end of the day. It's hard to explain,but when people can engage with the story, everything starts to seem completely natural
After a 3 month wait, it’s here 😂😂
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.
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
HHH might have the most iconic and decorated career in wrestling history other than Vince. The top heel in the most popular era in wrestling history during the attitude era, was a part of one of most successful factions in DX and best friends with founders of the other most successful faction in NWO with Nash and Hall, spearheaded the coolest brand in WWE during its terrible years in the late 2010s with NXT, and now running the show in WWE. Now they are going into Netflix which is going to be a brand new era. This dude is on top of the wrestling world right now, and we are super lucky to have him!
Don’t forget surviving heart failure
It's time to play the Game.
We Should Appreciate Triple H Who Have Purpose To Give Us Fans' What We Needed- "Stories With Banger" 😂😂
Huge respect for The Rock for hearing the people.. He will always be the People's Champ!
I was at the show when Rock came back and stole Cody's spot. It was a fun night, but the controversy that happened after was shocking. But im glad this years Wrestlemania turned into an amazing game changer.
I really wanted to see what happened when Roman went back stage after THAT hug with Heyman..
I hope he got a huge ovation after one of the greatest title runs of all time.
HHH mentored Randy.
Randy mentored Cody.
HHH hugging Cody like a proud Grandfather.
When people ultimately judge Triple H's tenure as head of creative for WWE...this is the moment that they will point to as the starting point of his legacy as a booker for the company. Wrestlemania 40 was the feather in the cap of HHH he needed to show the world "I am the one that is the best for this job"
I do wish they had shown Cody presenting Seth, Rock, and Roman their Rolexes. It was a class momemt that would have made people realize what these 4 men mean to each other and their journey together. It wouldn't have hurt future builds because it was all about respect.
Roman’s return is about to be the biggest pop in wwe history
It'll be big no doubt about it, but it won't be the biggest.
Yawn.
Roman is more boring than Solo
@@marcohavokkhaos Romans run got really boring. Great wrestler but he literally never showed up and his matches almost always ended the same way. Overrated title run.
Roman is a legend
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.
This was a real cool look behind the scenes. They never do things this in depth and I hope they do more.
This WrestleMania exemplified everything about why I love wrestling.
This whole Documentary was absolutely Amazing! Seeing when Cody won his second Royal Rumble to challenge Roman, only for The Rock showed up to challenge him until the "We want Cody" trend change there plans. The Rock turning Heel with his Hollywood theme back, Insane segments like when Rock beat up Cody outside in the Rain and Wrestlemania 40 being absolutely Incredible. The Main Event between Reigns and Rhodes was Insane with Jey, John Cena, Seth and Undertaker coming to help Rhodes out. Seth being Cody's Shield from Roman and Cody defeating Roman to finally finished his Story!
Nice
This was a great build up to Wrestlemania🔥🔥🔥
So happy i was there!
Man I would love to see behind the scenes where, for example, The Rock and Roman speaking and smiling with Cody before the match, you know what I mean? Or where they hug each other after the match because everything went great like planned!
No, they need to hate eachother
Im like genuinely so curious to know what the plans after the rumble were
@@shortesnameofalltimesame but since it involved Bulling on the part of Cody fans I don’t think they want to shine a light on a dark moment in the whole build up
@@JShadow6661 wha?
@GlebCherkasski u can tell that’s what actually happened! The Rock, Roman, & Cody definitely all was celebrating in the backstage every week throughout the whole lead up to Mania & at Mania! They just didn’t show it to keep “kayfabe”
CM Punk + Paul Heyman = Magic
Honestly I think cm punk is a bit overrated but to each his own

59:07 can't wait for wrestle mania 41 with the rock and codys story beginning
The best "Behind the Scenes"
The wrestlemania 40 was one of the greatest ppv that I ever watched in the WWE! 🐐
Ha it was one of the worst PPVs off all time it was just a rehash of John Cena’s story from mania 28-29
There's way better builds from past Wrestlemania's
@@ShaunInce123 not only that we are going into our 4th ppv without a US Championship match
@@AlexisStreams yap yap
@@AlexisStreams but there were some good matches that I considered to be one of the best wrestlemania matches like Roman reigns versus Cody Rhodes is an example of a awesome wrestlemania 40 match.
They really cooked this storyline
It's crazy this documentary was posted for free on UA-cam.... Thanks HHH
0:07 triple H was like: damn man, I really miss my career as a wrestler, they woke me up just to see this whole two nights,man this will be long"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
One of the best storylines of all time and it ain't even close, how they changed what was happening mid way was incredible
Im 30 years old man..I’m a HUGE Rock fan. Ever since i was a kid. I haven’t been this invested in a storyline since Rock vs Austin in the Attitude Era.
This is one of the greatest and biggest documentary I have seen... Thank you WWE
Amazing to be included!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Who are you tho??.. 😅😅
55:25 i remember when i heard the shield music and started freaking out because i thought it was jon moxley😭😭
Dean Ambrose **
The most impressive thing is The Rock still being able to move at 50
I’m calling it Solo wise man will be the Rock.
@@howardsanchez9998hell nah
Maybe Haku or rikishi
TONY KHAN I KNOW YOURE WATCHING 😂😂😂
I doubt he has time to even care about some old backstage stuff
He's too busy dealing with All In
@@marcohavokkhaosYea WWE is levels above AEW
@@marcohavokkhaos and doing lines of coke.
@@marcohavokkhaos Yeh, hes too busy trying to figure out how to act more like a child and no one taking their company serious
I wish they talked about the booking decisions behind Cena and Taker and Stone Cold's no show.
Cody finishing his story was my fav moment in WWE history.
This was Wrestling: Endgame and I loved it so much.
This match was the craziest ending sequence in history from the start to the finish and crowd it was insane
This was an incredible storyline ever in my opinion. The build ups were on point and the tag match was definitely on point too. Thanks WWE for giving us a cool storyline and a cool build up 🔥❤️
Everyone agrees that WrestleMania 40 is the greatest main event show ever in the history of WWE.
First off, not everyone. Secondly, WrestleMania 17 is still the greatest WrestleMania of all time. Don’t let recency bias get to ya son.
@@StraightEdgeKnight19Greatest Wrestlemania of all time is subjective not everyone's going to have the same opinion as u Attitude Era fanboy. Don't let nostalgia get to ya oldhead
@@g.o.a.t.8168 it ain’t nostalgia if it’s factual son. Live with it.
@@StraightEdgeKnight19 Yea it is nostalgia opinions are subjective & don't get me wrong it was a great era but ur still stuck in the past & u can't move on oldhead
@@g.o.a.t.8168 WM40 was great but to call it “the best” is laughable when 17 still exists. U know that to be a fact son.
One of the best Wrestlemanias EVER!!
I knew it was a pivot all along. They really wanted to do Rock/Roman.
This brought me so much joy as a fan. I saw the tag match in person and it was AMAZING. I am hell bent on going to both nights in Vegas even if I go poor doing it.
WrestleMania 40 will go down as the Greatest WrestleMania of all time! What a night that was for Cody Rhodes and everybody involved.
There is no way any PLE could top WrestleMania 40 this year AT ALL! Not even any WrestleMania could top it
