10 Annoying Ways WWE Ruined What We Once Loved
3. WrestleMania - Too Bloody Long!
WrestleMania is the biggest night in all of wrestling. For most wrestlers, this is the dream flashing across their eyes as they step inside the ropes for the first time. However, you can have too much of even the best of things, and these days the Showcase of the Immortals will genuinely take more time off your lifespan than desirable.
A wrestling show is not meant to run for six hours or more. It is as simple as that. No matter how many stars and exciting matches they pack into it, a fan is simply incapable of maintaining their energy and enthusiasm for that long. Becky Lynch’s historic crowning moment at WrestleMania 35 came in the early hours of the next day.
This also means that if the big matches near the end of the card aren’t what the people wanted (which is admittedly often the case these days) then the audience is most likely to convert their tiredness into outright rejection. Unfortunate victims of this include Roman Reigns, Triple H, Brock Lesnar...a nd Vince McMahon courtesy of a Universal Title launched straight at his face by the Beast.
Yes there are commercial factors and all that, but come on Vince, let’s cut this down a bit please?
