10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About WrestleMania 37
10. The Weather Problems
Vinnie Mac controls everything about WWE, but he can't control the weather.
Storms raged over Tampa's skyline amidst a soggy Saturday night, and that waylaid company plans to start WrestleMania as scheduled. The sight of poncho-wearing announcers like Michael Cole and Samoa Joe throwing to unscripted promos in the back was wonderfully chaotic, but it must've had the boss tearing his hair out.
Backstage interviews with the likes of Shane McMahon, New Day, MVP, Bobby Lashley, Drew McIntyre and more had a late-80s feel to them somehow. WWE's cast were forced to think on their feet and stall for time - again, one can picture an irate McMahon stalking the hallways and cursing the Gods for delaying the biggest show of the year.
Over time, WWE will phase out all talk of stuttering starts or weather warnings. 'Mania 37 will be discussed in glowing terms as the "best ever", and that's that. Fans can bank on it.
