It’s not the money grab McMahon hopes for, but it’s a strong formula that will keep fans happy, coming back and wanting more year after year. I simply don’t have enough space in this column.īut this is a start. I could rant about other areas of need, such as title unifications, building young stars instead of constantly leaning on stars of yesterday. Preferably in an enclosed stadium, but I’m willing to be flexible. A 4-hour show, with the best matches the company can possibly put together. Saturday: NXT - WWE’s feeder program of young stars - can run their annual WrestleMania weekend show on this night. Friday night’s induction, headlined by Mark Calaway - known by multiple generations of WWE fans for his character The Undertaker - was an all-timer. It’s one of my personal favorites every year.
There’s a simple formula, that will work, that fans will appreciate for WrestleMania weekend and get excited for.įriday: The annual WWE Hall of Fame ceremony. It’s simply too much, even for the most ardent WWE fan. I’ll let you do the math on how much money that will rack in for the WWE. The building can hold more than 105,000 fans, meaning McMahon is hoping for at least 210,000 fans over the course of the weekend. WrestleMania 38 is at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, the home of the Dallas Cowboys. McMahon has truly gone off the deep end this year. Trust me, one night of WrestleMania is tiring for a fan. You then must be in the midst of the chaos that is a wrestling event for eight (or more) hours. If you actually make the pilgrimage to wherever WrestleMania is held - I had the pleasure of doing so for WrestleMania 27 at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta in 2011 - you now must buy tickets for not one, but two nights of wrestling.
WORLD WRESTLING NEWS CENTER PRO
Just that fact alone makes it difficult for a family - which likely has plans on a normal weekend - to sit through roughly eight hours (or more) of pro wrestling in front of their televisions over two days. Since 2020, WrestleMania has become a two-night event. And almost without fail, it worked nearly every year.īut starting with WrestleMania 36 - the pandemic-cut event held at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando - McMahon saw an opportunity, where his eyes got bigger, in the hopes of making his wallet fatter. Put together a 3-4 hour show, and blow the roof off the place. Have a one day event, in an enclosed stadium or arena. What I’m trying to tell you is WWE and Vince McMahon, the company’s chairman and chief executive officer, once had a perfect formula to make WrestleMania work. I just hope fans are still awake when the match happens. Roman Reigns is without question a worthy WrestleMania main event. Did you notice that NONE of them have happened in the last five years? Or even 10?Īnd by the way, this is not me saying WrestleMania 38 will be horrible. Think about all those events for a moment.
