10 Times WWE Fans Were Outraged At WrestleMania

The live experience of WrestleMania isn't necessarily great, provided you are there to get a good view of professional wrestling.

This is a fact the vast majority of fans accept when buying a ticket. They attend 'Mania to experience it, rather than watch it, to soak in the spectacle and atmosphere of pro wrestling at its most beautiful and grandiose. The view doesn't matter. They attend to receive and actively take part in the magic of it all, but ideally, the view isn't totally obscured by a massive blinding yellow light.

This was the fate of entire sections of the audience at WrestleMania 35, who were unable to watch AJ Styles Vs. Randy Orton/were spared a slow and bland 15 minute match.

It's difficult not to empathise. You travel all that way - across oceans, in many cases - to cross one off the bucket list/save oneself from WWE's atrocious, nauseating camera cuts.

"Well, I can't see sh*t, but this vertigo is probably less nauseating."

Kevin Dunn: "Hold my beer, or better yet, get a woman to hold it! She might spill it all over her t*tttsssssssssssss!"

Several fans demanded and were granted free tickets for future events, all because WWE thought burning your retinas with a replica of the sun was a good idea.
