Cody Rhodes may have finished his story, but it's a fresh chapter in the NO ENCORE saga this week as 'The Donegal Dynamo' Hugh Carr makes his podcast return.

Hugh is just back from a trip to Philadelphia - the "best week of his life", apparently - where he took in many live professional wrestling shows, including the Granddaddy of Them All, the Showcase of the Immortals; WrestleMania.

In that infectious spirit, this week's Top 5 concerns the history of that humble grappling event, specifically the many live music performances that have taken place under its stadium-sized roof. And oh boy, have there been some shockers.

We tasked Hugh with giving us a mix of the good and the bad, but it seems that only the most headline-making terrible ones came to his mind. Enjoy?

Cole loses all credibility in record time, Chechnya has a speeding problem, St. Vincent makes a valid point, The Libertines and The Doors finally unite kinda-sorta, and can we stop being weird about Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson? It's this week's music news.

ACT TWO (52:35): Hugh recaps his Philly jaunt, before laying the smack down on his Top 5 Bad WrestleMania Music Performances.
