7 Things WWE Have Promised For WrestleMania 32 (And Must Deliver)
Fans demand absolute chaos in the two biggest matches of the night.
When the stadium has emptied and after venue staff have cleaned up plastic cups and garbage aplenty, literally millions of people will go to bed thinking about WWE's WrestleMania. The annual pay-per-view draws in more affection for pro wrestling than any other event, it's the one show each year that has such an incredible atmosphere surrounding it.
Credit where credit is due, WWE have managed to foster incredible excitement for 'Mania. Yet, it will all wash away should people go away from the event feeling it was lacking even slightly. WrestleMania simply must be a proverbial home run for the company, the rest of the year perhaps depends on it. That's something the promotion must be wary of, because they have booked themselves into a corner slightly with the show.
It's expected that Roman Reigns will once again headline 'Mania, this time opposite Triple H. There's also the not-so-small matter of Shane McMahon getting control of Monday Night Raw should he defeat The Undertaker inside Hell In A Cell. Adding to that, 'Taker himself will apparently never work another 'Mania should he lose. As if that wasn't enough, Dean Ambrose and Brock Lesnar will then tear one another limb from limb in a 'No Holds Barred Street Fight'.
These are all looking like likely scenarios come WrestleMania 32, and fans will be less-than-satisfied should they walk away from the AT&T Stadium without them being delivered upon.
7. Biggest WrestleMania Ever
Back in 1987, it doesn't seem like the then-WWF were telling the whole truth when they disclosed the attendance for WrestleMania III. Shouting from the rooftops about a supposed 93,000 fans, it's been said that the number was actually closer to the 78,000 mark. That's still impressive, and it's not exactly uncommon for promotions to exaggerate attendances.
Still, it is something the company are looking to top in 2016. For WrestleMania 32, WWE are aiming to cram 100,000 people into the AT&T Stadium. At the very least, officials dearly want 'Mania 32 to be the biggest in history, at the very least outdoing the number pulled at 'Mania III. That would be highly impressive, but the pressure is on to make it a reality.
On commentary, it's hardly unheard of for announcers like Michael Cole and JBL to talk the forthcoming WrestleMania event up as the biggest ever. WWE have placed some stress on themselves to ensure that this year's show most certainly lives up to that billing. It's not impossible, but it is now expected by wrestling fans that 'Mania will play in front of around 100,000, only because WWE themselves have spent so much time talking about it.
