10 WWE WrestleMania Matches That Had To Follow Something Infamously Terrible
1. WrestleMania 36 Following Everything
In Network documentaries and the like in years to come, Bruce Prichard or whoever is currently handling said duties will earnestly spout off down the lens about how they were put in an "impossible situation" with WrestleMania 36, throwing in various other platitudes before noting that "the show must go on" with all the usual cod-profundity. And much like a lot of their history, it'll be revisionist.
Though none of us are privy to the closed-door clandestine conversations that informed the decision (How much would Snickers be out of pocket? Did Fox insist on having a WrestleMania to promote in the first year of the deal? Do they just hate moving things in diaries?) there's no monetary figure billionaire Vince McMahon couldn't have absorbed by cancelling the event. Yet, it goes on, with all the badges and brands but absolutely none of the pageantry and prestige typically associated with it.
All the television has been hamstrung by the same issues, dependent entirely on the tastes of an audience in a headspace that changes on a daily basis. They'll need to mirror an old show catchphrase long after the 2020 edition of the show concludes - if and when any of this changes, WWE will need to all begin again.
