10 Lessons WWE Should Have Learned Over WrestleMania 35 Weekend

1. Never, Ever, Ever, Use The MetLife Ever Again

New Jersey's MetLife Stadium is, hands down, one of the best put together sporting arenas I have ever had the privilege of stepping foot into. It is enormous, modern and brilliantly laid-out. The catering facilities are broad, varied and of a surprisingly high standard. There was never a queue for the toilets and the walkways are so wide there was no crush getting 80,000+ people in or out of the venue. Genuinely, it's excellent, and I didn't even begrudge paying nearly $30 for a bowl of noodles and a beer because they were both A++++.

That said, I wouldn't attend another big event there if you paid me.

It's been well publicised, but the combination of WWE's runtime and the transport links surrounding the venue contributed to tens of thousands of people being stranded in the pouring rain following the show. The final train back into the city departed mere minutes after the final bell, and there are no viable walking routes to any other transport links. All this in torrential, freezing rain.

Ubers, being in short supply, began charging upwards of $200 for the 20 minute ride back to New York. One that we booked gave us a 45 minute wait and then said he'd only come back from Manhattan and get us if we'd let him start the fare from there. By the way hello Pritpal, go suck your mum.

The cab company received nearly 5,000 complaints from its customers that night, and WWE likely double that. Both of them, and the New Jersey authorities, have pointed their fingers at each other and accepted no responsibility for the situation.

Straight up, do not book that venue for WrestleMania ever again. Not unless you're going to have it finish by about 8pm.
