10 Early Reasons To Be Worried About WWE WrestleMania 37

1. Fans Aren't Allowed In

WrestleMania 36 was severely hampered by the lack of live fans. Nothing could be done about this, of course, as the company were forced into empty arena shows just weeks before 'Mania was scheduled to broadcast.

The ThunderDome concept hadn't even been thought of by then. That didn't come in until the SmackDown before SummerSlam on 21 August, and even then it doesn't provide anywhere near the same sort of atmosphere.

Of everything on this list, this is the only one that is entirely unavoidable as it pertains to WWE's thinking. If they get told they can't have fans inside Raymond James Stadium, then they can't have fans in. It's that simple.

This then throws everything up into the air, as Vince McMahon is desperate to have his favourite child contain an actual audience. WrestleVotes reported back in January that upwards of 25,000 fans were scheduled to be allowed entry per night. On another note, they also reported that WWE officials were in attendance for this year's NFL Super Bowl - at the same venue for WrestleMania 37 - who made use of cardboard cutouts as their fans.

The latter of these could become a reality for WrestleMania 37 in the flick of a button. Vinnie Mac has no control over this whatsoever.

He'll do literally anything to have live fans in attendance, though.
