10 Things We Learned From Attending WWE WrestleMania 35 Live

8. Limited View? No Entrances For You...

Spare a thought for those in "limited view" seats at WrestleMania 35. They got what they paid for, and would've known what they were letting themselves in for beforehand, but WWE's refusal to show ring entrances on the MetLife Stadium's big screens must have detracted from the live viewing experience.

WrestleMania isn't just about the matches and segments, but the full presentation. Ring entrances are a big part of that. Elaborate walkouts like Batista and his SUVs and Joan Jett playing Ronda Rousey to the ring were key components of WrestleMania 35's pageantry, yet WWE chose to broadcast their goofy tron videos to the arena screens rather than the entrances.

This is inexplicable. What does a wrestler's name in some sh*ty text downloaded from a free font website add to the show? Absolutely nothing. Nobody wants to look at those things on anything but the tron itself, and the overall viewing experience for those stuck behind the entrance way could have been salvaged with this small, simple change. Let's just hope it's something that WWE keep in mind for future stadium shows of this size.
