Audio of the WWE’s Roast of WrestleMania has been posted, leaked online and so has the controversial statements, jokes that were made during the event. Roasts are typically known for humor that often crosses the line ranging from deep personal insults to jokes, comedy that is expected to cross lines of good taste.
The roast was held at Fontainebleau’s BleauLive Theatre in Las Vegas following night two of WrestleMania and was hosted by controversial comedian Tony Hinchcliffe. It certainly wasn’t PG entertainment by any stretch of the imagination.
After Matt Edgar opened the show with a fairly tame set scripted for frat boys and girls, Hinchcliffe then took over commenting on the fact that Mania fell on April 2oth or 420 Day.
“It Hitler’s birthday so it is a celebration for Gunther,” said Hinchcliffe.
He commented on one of WrestleMania’s nicknames.
“This is a Showcase of the Immortals because wrestlers never die in their thirties,” he said which brought out a lot of boos.
Hinchcliffe joked about WWE’s sponsors Prime and Drumstick Ice Cream.
“That stuff has more preservatives than Charlotte Flair’s face,” he said which got big cheers.
“The WWE said I could request anyone that I wanted,” he then proceeded to say he wanted Shinsuke Nakamura but “they put a tariff on his booking”.
“I wanted Jinder Mahal here but he is going through a mid-life ISIS,” he continued.
He then made fun of Hall of Fame inductee, Lex Luger.
“Lex Leger got inducted. An American patriot and a narcissist. He could have been president. He famously dated Miss Elizabeth. Which makes sense because they both had a great rack…They call Lex Luger the Total Package. The Total Package is what the wheelchair salesmen told….,” he said then trailed off.
He then commented on Nakamura again: “Jey’s an underdog, which is what Shinsuke ate for dinner tonight.” and IYO Sky: “Iyo Sky was out there dressed like Buzz Rightyear.”
He also joked about Gunther looking like Hitler and putting himself in an oven.
Word is that WWE has been flagging any postings of the audio to have them removed from social media.
