Being a professional wrestling fan in the United Kingdom isn't easy. Whilst we have a grand amount of top quality professional wrestling of our own here on the island, the overwhelming majority of what we loves takes place overseas. For the majority of people, this is World Wrestling Entertainment.

As a result, in order to watch the shows live one must stay up through all hours of the night, with the shows regularly starting around of after midnight. Now, if you work night shifts then this is no real bother, but for the majority of people it is struggle to say the least. Many give up after a while.

Even for those who give up, WrestleMania is different. It is the Show of Shows after all, a night where regardless of the creative hole the company finds itself in an effort will still be made to put on a great show. I myself fall into this bracket, annually getting excited for and subsequently staying up all night to watch the Showcase of the Immortals.

2016 and WrestleMania 32 may represent the last time I do this. The show wasn't terrible, far from it, but the joy and excitement that usually comes with watching Mania just wasn't there.

In the end, I truly regretted staying up all night to watch WrestleMania. Here are the reasons why...

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
