The Undertaker and Triple H was an “End of an Era” Hell In A Cell match with Shawn Michaels as special guest referee may be most remembered for two things; one of the greatest near-falls in professional wrestling history and the final image of the three legends arm-in-arm atop the WrestleMania stage. WrestleMania 28 emanated live from Miami’s Sun Life Stadium in front of 78,363 fans on April 1, 2012. A record 1.2 million would watch live around the world, making it WWE’s most bought pay-per-view event in history. Aside from Undertaker and Triple H, it featured the “Once In…

Samoa Joe. The Anoa’i family, which originates from American Samoa, has left their marks in the history books of professional wrestling. Members of the bloodline range from past legends like Yokozuna, The Wild Samoans, and Rikishi to today’s stars like Roman Reigns, The Usos, and Solo Sikoa and even honorary member The Rock.
