10 Ways WWE Is Killing WrestleMania

10. The Bloated Length

Seven hours is a slog, irrespective of whether the viewer at home neglects or watches around it by paying no mind to the Kickoff portion. The crowd has to endure it - and as evidenced on Sunday, the ripple effect to those viewers at home is considerable.

Aside from its bizarre production, Bray Wyatt Vs. Randy Orton suffered from a lack of crowd heat. The fans in attendance couldn't muster much in the way of enthusiasm, and it's telling. The match only went ten minutes.

Even The Undertaker Vs. Roman Reigns didn't resonate quite as much as it should have. Roman Reigns was booed out of the building - but if the card wasn't as bloated as it was, the heat he commanded would have been nuclear. The fans, ultimately, were too tired.

You should come away from WrestleMania feeling emotionally exhausted, not physically exhausted. It's WrestleMania - the show that promises (or used to promise) that the interminable and inconsequential autumn months are worth persisting with. It's one night anticipated for several months. You shouldn't want it to end.

It's no wonder fans have taken to receiving the post-'Mania RAW as a hangover cure. The party that is 'Mania drags on way too long in the Network era.
