Can't really postpone it, though. You need to have the matches. Unless you're just not going to have new programming, which I'm sure USA and Fox would not have liked.

 

It shouldn't be called 'WrestleMania' though, just call it some special name, and hold WM later in the year.

Yeah I agree, I wouldn't be against a Summer Wrestlemania, open air would be epic

I haven't watched WWE in quite a long time (since I found out about the US military troops drugging and raping Ashley and Vince did nothing about it), but being quarentined and bored I decided to watch the ppv on my free iptv app and holy crap what a cringe fest. Why wasn't this just cancelled and rescheduled. I get its about money loss but if I didn't stop watching wwe before, this train wreck trash would have stopped me for sure. The no crowd thing was kinda tolerable, i guess if i watched recently i would have gotten used to it but the matches themselves looked like they were setup by a high school drama student. If i actually paid for this i would be so upset.

Having watched both nights - there were some "Well a match happened and that's that" parts, but I actually (against my preconceived ideas) really enjoyed it.

 

It was silly, it was different, there was some good in-ring action and good in-ring story telling, the correct belts changed hands.  Was it the best Mania ever? Lord no.  But did they take a risk and it seems to have paid off?  Totally!

WWE is really becoming a boring circus. Did you guys see The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 36? Dressed up like The American Bad Ass? Seriously? 

 

I thought they had forgotten about that stupid gimmick years ago? That is not The Undertaker. That stupid Biker gimmick just doesn’t do it. There is no mystery to it. No eerie sense. He really needs to hang up the boots already if he is going to continue with that. Just my two cents.
