10 Reasons WrestleMania 32 Was A Huge Disappointment

10. The Show Was Too Long

When even your most diehard wrestling fans are continuously glancing at the clock to see how much time is remaining in the show, you know there's a problem. Between the pre-show and the main broadcast, WrestleMania 32 was over 5 hours long.

It goes without saying that it could have easily been trimmed down into a much less bloated package.

I understand wanting to get as many members of the roster on the show as possible, and while I admire the sentiment behind that, all it does is dilute the potential of these so-called coveted “WrestleMania moments” that the company is fond of espousing. 

Shows that long wear on both the live audience as well as those watching it at home, and your biggest event of the year should not leave your fans feeling fatigued, yet 32 was an exhausting endeavour.

Not only that, but with so much time to fill there’s no explanation for rushing through certain moments. 

While she might not be the most popular wrestling character on the show, Brie Bella deserves the respect of the fans and her peers in what was ostensibly her final match, yet her celebration was immediately cut short so WWE could move to a shot of the panel discussing what an amazing show we were witnessing.

When you cram so much filler into a show like this, you dull the impact of the things that are meant to be important. Here’s to hoping they trim the fat a bit next year.
