Be grateful that WWE started splitting WrestleMania into two nights starting with 36 in 2020. Why? Well, take a gander at the length of 'Mania 35 alone. The main show went a whopping 5:19:37. Then, the pre-show (f you’re including that) ran for a further 2 hours; that means the entirety of ‘Mania in 2019 ran for over 7 hours.

Good God almighty, won't somebody stop the damn match?! This is heinous!

Apologies, random JR paraphrasing there. Seriously though, it's way better that 'Mania is spread across multiple nights nowadays. Yep, each card still lasts anywhere between 3-4 hours, but that feels like a bitesized chunk compared to the gigantic piece WWE tried to cram down everyone's throats in 2019.

The one-night marathon that was 'Mania 35 holds the record as the longest one-off WrestleMania card ever. You'd need to be a glutton for punishment to even consider going back to revisit without skipping any video packages/entrances/fluff.
