10 Mistakes From WrestleMania 36 That WWE Must Not Repeat

10. Totally Unnecessary Pre-Shows

'Mania 36's Kickoff shows clocked in at almost one hour apiece. That means, in total, WWE spent approx two hours hyping up the supercard and trying to convince people to tune in on both nights. The problem with these pre-show portions wasn't just the length - they also got the begging bowl out.

Rather than explaining why people should already be excited for each match, Corey Graves and Peter Rosenberg spent 120 minutes awkwardly scrounging the card for reasons to sell it. That wasn't a good sign, and it made both guys look rather foolish.

It's not necessary this year.

WWE didn't need the "bonus" matches they squeezed in amongst endless hype packages and trivial banter either. These Kickoffs should only happen when fans tuning in can see a huge crowd filing in behind the hosts. That sells the excitement of an event about to happen. This, sadly, didn't.
