10 Lessons WWE WrestleMania 36 Needs To Learn From WrestleMania 35

Maybe we don't need all of the good guys to win?

Christmas is over and now that WWE's limp end to 2019 is firmly in the rear-view mirror, the inevitable season of hype that is the Road to WrestleMania now finds itself on our doorstep.

What epic feuds are about to be set into motion?

Which superstars will change the landscape by winning the Royal Rumbles?

Will Hulk Hogan somehow find a way to get involved with 'Mania again, against all of our wishes?

All those questions are about to be answered in the next couple of months. Yet, with every new WrestleMania season comes the chance to learn from the mistakes of the previous year's entry.

That isn't to say that 'Mania 35 was a failure by any means, as last year's Showcase of the Immortals definitely ticked a lot of positive boxes. However, it still wasn't anywhere near a perfect show.

So, how can 'Mania 36 edge closer towards being remembered in the same breath as some of the iconic 'Manias of days gone by? Well, if WWE can incorporate these ten improvements which were missing from 2019's event at MetLife Stadium, there may be hope for another modern classic 'Mania event yet.

10. Less Filler Please!

With WWE's roster boasting a level of overall talent and in-ring ability unlike any generation before it, trying to stuff as many of those stars as possible onto the WrestleMania card should make perfect sense.

Yet, by cramming a ridiculous amount of top class wrestlers onto the 'Mania show - in order to give most of them that much deserved showcase payday - WWE continually sacrifices their overall PPV quality as the majority of these matches simply feel like meaningless filler.

They obviously serve some purpose, as these dense battle royals and badly built mid-card title matches act as the perfect opportunity for fans to stretch their legs and go and grab another hotdog/beer.

But, if WWE were to put more of an emphasis on a smaller number of feuds and really put some effort into making them feel worthy of the 'Mania stage, surely these matches would feel a little more unmissable and avoid the dreaded apathy which the likes of Roman Reigns Vs Drew McIntyre and Finn Balor Vs Bobby Lashley were both met with at last year's event.

As for pointless musical filler, at least 'Mania 35 avoided force feeding us a Kid Rock or Flo Rida performance. Instead, we got Elias going head to head with the Doctor of Thuganomics.

More of that please!
