Jon Robinson, who wrote the new Creating the Mania: An Inside Look at How WrestleMania Comes to Life book, was recently interviewed by the Smark to Death podcast. You can download the podcast on

Robinson details the plans for Jason Jordan at WrestleMania, which reportedly would have seen the “son of Kurt Angle” taking on the Olympic gold medalist at the big stage and, apparently, win, skyrocketing him to the main event scene:
"They were really gonna do Kurt Angle vs Jason Jordan and this was gonna put Jason Jordan over huge and make him a top star. Then Jason Jordan gets injured, that's another big change. Then what do you do with Kurt? Then obviously he gets thrown into an even bigger match. It's crazy to see everything change from what I'm being told, to watching the show, then going back and talking to them again. Having that kind of access was incredible, especially for someone like me who has been a huge fan since I was a little kid."
