If viewers watch WrestleMania 32 on the WWE Network, they'll notice that the show clocks in at a colossal 4 hours, 51 minutes and 57 seconds. Previously, due to its status as WWE's biggest event of the year, it wasn't uncommon for 'Mania to last around 4 hours. This year, the company smashed that time frame completely.

There were numerous comments across social media claiming that WrestleMania was far too long to sit through, but it certainly represented value for money. WWE presented a lot of action, so it's hard to argue that the near-5 hour broadcast was a waste. As if the main show wasn't enough, the 'Kickoff' portion only added to the value.

This year, the WrestleMania Kickoff show lasted 2 hours. This means that the entire 'Mania experience lasted for close to 7 hours in total for those tuning in for the whole time. That's unheard of.

In the year 2000, the then-WWF offered up an 'All Day' package via pay-per-view for 'Mania 16, but hardly any of that was fresh content. At 'Mania 32, WWE exceeded themselves by delivering a ton of original programming in one go, and it was the longest WrestleMania ever.
