10 Problems With WrestleMania 38 Nobody Wants To Admit

10. WrestleMania Is No Longer About Long-term Booking

In years gone by, the weeks and months immediately following the Royal Rumble PPV were some of the most exciting in all of wrestling. So-called WrestleMania season was the time of year that WWE's writers and producers upped their game and made every week of television feel exciting. So what happened?

WWE is not famed for it's ability to hold-off on a match for a whole year, but even 3 months of build felt like long-term booking to most fans, and built anticipation for the eventual pay-off at WrestleMania. When done correctly this can give us unforgettable moments like Kane Vs. The Undertaker, or even Bam Bam Bigelow Vs. Lawrence Taylor. Done badly, and you end up with Skinner Vs. The Rocket.

Unfortunately, WrestleMania 38 feels mostly like the latter, with hardly any real storytelling except for the main event. WWE has instead opted to throw in multiple celebrities, hoping to recreate the Bad Bunny moment from last year, as well as throwaway matches that absolutely nobody wants to see. Drew McIntyre and Baron Corbin, we're looking at you.
