WWE WrestleMania 34: 10 Things That Must Happen

10. WWE Keep Musical Interludes To A Minimum

Let's get this out of the way early.

Pitbull, LunchMoney Lewis and Flo Rida took up way too much time at WrestleMania 33. They did so in the middle of a 13-match card (including the trio of pre-show bouts), and their performance sapped energy from the Orlando crowd. Surely that's the complete opposite of what these musical interludes are supposed to do.

Cut them out, WWE. If musicians aren't playing a wrestler to the ring or jazzing up "America The Beautiful", then they have no place on the show at all. Seeing the New Orleans Brass Band inject a little colour to the intro is fine. Giving them, or any other acts, 15-20 minutes of air time is not.

Don't forget that 'Mania 34's card could potentially be 14 matches once John Cena vs. The Undertaker is added. That's a blessing, because more wrestling is preferable to mini-concerts. Kid Rock is there for a reason, show planners, and it's not to jam "So Hott" whilst everyone visits the loo.
