I think the sweet spot in terms of length for Wrestlemania would be 5 hours or 5 hours and a half max. 8 hours is too long as the crowd was kinda tired by the time the main event started and the show ended around midnight ish.
What time did Mania actually end. I turned it off after HHH - Batista. I am on the east coast and get up around 5:30 a.m. for work. I saw the matches I truly wanted to see (Kofi-Bryan, Lesnar - Rollins, Shane - Miz, and the 4 way for the smackdown titles).
WWE doesn't need to give every one on the roster a match. The Andre the giant battle royal was a joke this year. Cut both Battle royals. Start pre-game at 6, Mania at 7, over by 11:30. Still have a 5 hour show. Have a couple matches on the pre-show.
according to reports, AJ might be injured. today, some fans who wanted to do a meet and greet with him were told he wasn't there and he'd be replaced with kofi. a fan later tweeted that he saw AJ at the airport and that he was moving "super slowly".
whatever the reason, AJ has flown back home and he will not be appearing on SD tomorrow night.
and now, it's time for the most exciting part of wrestlemania weekend: the raw after mania.
and we open the raw after mania with the new UT champ.
and cole's voice is still shot.
It's the new day!
