Still to this day I never liked roman still don’t he has been shoved down everyone’s throat to me the most overrated wrestler of all time
Number one ending the streak and then having him loose again to roman!
No. No I won't.
@@rayhoyer4829 That i can agree with! End it sure, have it be a huge shock. Twice, nope
@@UnbrokenFlame he never should have lost
I attended Wrestlemania 35, and my goodness getting out of there was insane. We resorted to walking against traffic through a tunnel full of ubers. Once we reached the other side, it began to rain. We finally wound up hiring an uber that was 40 minutes away. We waited under an awning with some other wrestling fans and we talked about the show. Then the hero of the evening, a man dressed as Stone Cold Steve Austin emerged with a box of handwarmers that he found behind a dumpster. It was a gift from the wrestling gods in our time of need. We made it back to our Air BnB in Brooklyn close to 4am. An evening I will never forget.
That’s more an issue with MetLife Stadium. Leaving a Giants or Jets game is always a nightmare as well.
That was certainly an experience, don't know how I would've coped in that situation
@@diabeticman2194 It was an interesting weekend all together. This was the year Bret Hart was attacked during the HOF the night before.
@@gregorynelson4609 I forgot about that incident! Weirdly I remember Enzo and Cass invading Supercard of Honour, it certainly was a crazy weekend of wrestling looking back on it
@@diabeticman2194 yeah and that forever segment with Megaran😅😅
Kurt's last match not being John Cena was such a crime. i mean, the promo writes itself!
Cena: Kurt, you've been gone so long and now you want to wrestle ME at Wrestlemania for one last match? Look at how much punishment your body has been through. What do you even have left?
Kurt: Ruthless...aggression!
*slaps Cena*
You just made me pop real hard in my own living room. This would've been bloody brilliant.
I really wanted to see him wrestle Brock Lesnar one last time 😖
@saskatchewanice1581 Mr. Broken fricking neck vs. Green man vs Bork Lazer.
They really shouldn't have made Hogan's Money In The Bank briefcase invisible. That made Wrestlemania 9 very confusing.
Did the crowd boo Hogan when we won the belt?
@@meirnissim5927 I can't remember tbh, it was a small crowd and a lot of the people weren't really fans because the casinos had comped a bunch of tickets, so I wouldn't be surprised if they did, but it was a terrible decision either way! It made Bret look like a small-fry and Yoko look like a chump and it made no sense. It buried the entire generation of stars who were going to be holding the company up for the coming years, in order to get a nostalgia pop and to pump PPV replay buys by announcing on Raw:
"Hey, Hogan's the champ. I bet you're wondering how the frikk that happened, well, you better buy the replay... Hogan's not here btw, he's not doing TV, but he is the champ... By."
He was booed more than he had previously been at really any point since Hulkamania started. Enough that the network version has the audio altered. But not more than he was cheered.
@@meirnissim5927 Hulkamania was running out of steam in ‘91. By ‘93 they were sick of him.
@@apocrypha5363 i remember hearing that ove half the crowd basically got free tickets
I think one mistake that was overlook was Triple H beating Booker T. I mean, the racial overtones, solid hype package for Booker T and Hunter pedigreeing Book and collapse and covered him 30 seconds after the pedigree.
Booker should've won the match and title. Even if it meant, that he would drop it to Hunter within a month, I'd been fine with that.
It's really simple: if you do a story with an undercurrent of racism *the Black guy has to win in the end.*
If you aren’t Vince, it’s really obvious how you pay that story off.
@@press_x_tojason Actually VINCE, wanted BOOKER to win…
but “SOMEBODY” convinced him that it wouldn’t be the right ending!
Get over it. Even Booker said he was fine w losing
Facts
Biggest POST-WrestleMania mistake was not turning Roman heel after his "THIS IS MY YARD NOW!" promo.
Agree
Amen. That was the best, most simple heel promo ever too. Fans would have absolutely eaten up him as a hell and Braun as a face after that
@@kevinfrank8164 Braun was white hot at the time, too. He should have beaten Lesnar that year, and we could have gotten Braun v Reigns at 34.
The extra long Manias were sheer horror for us European fans. It’s indeed NOT fun watching Wrestlemania til 7:30 in the morning
I think Adam forgot that Linda portrayed a zombie flawlessly
Better than we got 20 years later at umm... extreme rules?
I mean, when you are one… 😂😂
Pushing Roman Reigns when the fans rejected him so harshly is definitely one of the big ones. If the Tribal Chief Roman was what we got in 2015 and 2016 then the fans would be happy. But that wasn't the Roman of back then.
The tribal chief character is only good in comparison with what Roman had before, which was almost nothing. Roman Reigns is the reason that AEW was allowed to exist, and I will fight anyone who disagrees.
It's a little upsetting that Roman only got a good character towards the end of his full-time run. What would WWE look like if we had Roman Reigns being over from the start.
He wasn’t quite there back then. He’s came a very long when in terms of promo ability. If they attempted this angle back then he would’ve butchered it due to how bad he used to be on the mic. He’s excellent now.
@@spartacus778 exactly it's not that entertaining specially because his moveset has not evolved too
@Fylkir Tarkus "Black Iron" I think it was also Bray vs Seth at Hell in a Cell. That was what caused one of the first big AEW chants in WWE that I can remember
I know this is a small thing, but I really wish they never stopped having the numbers in the WrestleMania titles. Just takes away the grandness of each year
Adam mentioned it once in a list on WhatCulture, I believe “10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Wrestlemania”, and I think the big reason was cause it made Wrestlemania feel “really old” which is INSANE.
Agreed. It does irk me a bit when they say they accomplish a feat at WrestleMania, but they don't say the number. If you've been with the company for ages, you'd know. But, if you fell out of favor or completely new, it could get puzzling.
Kurt angle vs Cena or Angle vs Styles would have been a perfect way to go out.
Or Joe
@@VeRG1L_47 Yep. And not mention that the fact they had a lot of history together, Would've been a perfect retirement match for angle.
Agreed
Drew McIntyre is also a good candidate for Angle's retirement match. Heel McIntyre will definitely look a badass by taking out a Hall of Famer. And it will prevent him from losing his first WrestleMania match since his return.
Even Orton yk legend killer and all. But nah none of those guys
As much as I had a personal soft spot for WrestleMania 35, it justified the #1 being the "recent WrestleManias being too long". Like, atleast 4-5 of the matches could've been cut/placed in Kick-Off portion.
I kinda wished WWE started the 2-day WrestleManias by 35, that way they keep the Women main eventing at Night 2, then they showcase KofiMania at its fullest by having the WWE Championship main event the Night 1 portion.
I agree, but I'd do it at 34. As to keep it a prototype, so there's less hindsight with the booking, I'd have each night dedicated to a brand. 34 night one can be Raw's, headlined by Reig- sorry, I mean BALOR vs Lesnar, night 2 can be SmackDown headlined by Asuka vs Flair, which in my opinion should've been the main event of wm34 anyway!
Then, you flip it for 35, with your main events being the ones for each night (but just have Lynch vs Rousey) and 36 can be where you mash them together.
Or like Oli and Luke has said many times even for AEW shows just put some matches on the go home ahow before the PPV and it makes the tv show feel bigger.There is no need for 5 hour cards or in Mania 35 case 7 hours and 30 min
@@morganstatham219 I sorely need to live in a timeline that Balor vs Lesnar at WM34 is booked.
@@jpsynthesis agreed. Balor should've absolutely won that chamber. They should've kept Reigns vs Cena for WrestleMania 34, and then they could just put Miz, Elias, Strowman and Rollins in the IC title match.
Long shows are definitely a slog to get through, when it comes to wrestling quality is better than quantity 9 times out of 10
Jericho vs Kevin being for the US title instead of Universal. When Brock and Goldberg could’ve had the same intense match without it.
I remember watching Mania 35 at home on my comfy couch, and even I was getting tired by the end.
I cannot imagine what it must have been like to be in the arena live.
It was hectic 😊
Grueling lmao
"How is anyone supposed to enjoy anything after five hours?" says Adam in the tenth hour of his weekly board game marathon 😜
Honorable mentions:
-Twice in a Lifetime
-wrong main event at Wrestlemania 18
-wrong main event at Wrestlemania 25
Honorable Mention: Wrong main event at WrestleMania 29.
"With nothing on the line"
In terms of titles, that's true, but they billed Sid vs Hogan with "If Hogan lost he must quit the WWF". And they couldn't even do that stipulation right.
And Hogan went and said that it would 'probably' be his last match either way because he was 'bored,' in an interview, jeez!
"this will be my last match, OR MAYBE IT WON'T BE BROTHER"
It wasn't actually the subways, it was the NJ Transit trains that stopped running. But someone forgot to send (WWE) or get (NJ Transit) the memo saying "there's gonna be a ton of people, keep running this train line"
Never forget they also had Corbin win with a Deep Six, a move literally no one had ever been pinned with before. Truly groundbreaking stuff
12:07 “and it wasn’t long before this yearly custom, became an annual tradition.”
"What horrible reality is this where we're all Bruce Bogtrotter, but the chocolate cake is wrestling?"
I audibly snorted laughter. Literal LOL.
two Adam Blampied videos to make my Sunday perfect.
A lot of the mistakes can just be the match ups.
-You could say Roman from Mania 32-34 as he was always the main event and no one wanted him there since he was still inexperienced with a weak character.
-Not doing Undertaker vs Sting at Mania 31 and instead having Triple H lazily beat the icon.
-Triple H vs Orton at Mania 25 not being No Holds Barred
-Hurting Rey Mysterio's title win at Mania 22 by 1) giving them only 8 minutes and having the super over Kurt Angle lose. Should have been Rey vs Orton to give Rey full crowd support and then we could get a rematch to Undertaker vs Kurt Angle
-Doing Cena Rock 2 instead of including Punk or doing Punk v Rock.
-Not having Savage Wrestle at Mania 9 who definitely could still go
-Jericho and KO going on second instead of first or near the end of Mania 33
-This is personal bias but also: BREAKING THE STREAK
I'm thought I was the only person who believed Punk should have been added to the second Cena/Rock match. As Punk was a heel at the time, can you imagine the heat he would have gotten every time it looked like he was going to steal the win from those two? Plus, while the Rock is great he hadn't been a full-time wrestler for years. Adding another man would have allowed him to take a breather so the overall workrate of the match stayed up.
I completely agree with the HHH vs Orton match that had to be a no holds barred instead of a singles match with the Ridiculous rule that if triple h lost by DQ he would lose the title
@@BiggieTrismegistus Triple Threat would have worked well or I would have had it only as Punk v Rock dream match with Punk retaining/getting his title back and then we could get John Cena vs Undertaker dream match as well.
I think we got a new number for this list after WrestleMania 39.
Twice in a lifetime is an obvious one for me, didn’t really need to happen and not for the WWE title no less
Wrestlemania 29 did the biggest gate in WWE history 72 MILLION Dollars
I would also include having HHH vs Stephanie as the main event of WM18 (also featuring Chris jericho). I get that the title was on the line but Hogan vs The Rock was always going to be the main event.
8:06-8:08
So, Cody Rhodes and Rey Mysterio wasn't good?
What about Punk and Orton?
Hogan vs Rock not going on last at WM X8. Crowd was dead for Triple H vs Jericho after the emotional rollercoaster beforehand.
It feels appropriate they this came up as a suggested video today, after WM 39 night 2.
Literally in my Suggestions 4 hours after Wresltemania 39 Night 2....😶
Honorable Mentions: Anytime the Royal Rumble winner lost at WrestleMania, main event triple threat matches at WrestleMania 30 & 35 instead of a 1V1 match, dream matches not taking place at WrestleMania (Brock Lesnar vs Batista, Sting vs Undertaker, Brock Lesnar vs Bobby Lashley, and Becky Lynch vs Rhea Ripley to name a few), and not having more NXT title matches at WrestleMania.
HHH vs Undertaker at WM27 was an awesome match that doesn’t get enough praise. I watched it live in the front row and it was by far the highlight of the night. When HHH hit undertaker with the tombstone that was the closes the streak had ever come to ending imo. Everyone around me was screaming “that’s it”. The feeling around hhh always burying talent to make himself look good worked for the match making you feel like he just might do it. Mix that with the game stealing undertakers finisher which is the end all be all of finishers made for a nail biter of a false finish. Not one time during that match was I bored and no one in that arena thought the match “went on too long” at least not at the time. How anyone who considers themself a wrestling fan can hate on this match is beyond me.
I was there too (sitting in the first row of risers behind the floor seats). I honestly didn’t think HHH vs Taker seemed long at all. And that WM needed them to fill time with a great match too, considering almost everything else was average at best and complete garbage at worst. My personal pick for second best match was Cody vs Rey, a match no one ever talks about.
@eriklarson7023 Hell yeah man it was easily the second best match of the night. That was when I knew Cody could be a star if they let him and Rey always gives it his best.
You remember where Cena tackled Miz through the turnbuckle? His head hit the concrete right by my feet it was awesome. At the time I thought if they pushed Miz right he could’ve been a knock off rock with his awesome chant but they made him look second rate his whole title reign and then wondered why no one liked the main event. Sometimes I don’t understand wwe at all lol.
On the other side of the coin from Rey v Cody being surprisingly good, Edge v Del Rio was nowhere near as good as I thought it would be. It was awesome that we got to see Edge win his last match at the time and the fact he won was a surprise but the match itself was as you said mediocre. Snooki gave it her all though the fans booed her but she tried and was a little impressive. Also we got to see the first of 3 weird Daniel Bryan vs sheamus matches at mania which lead to the yes movement so that was kind of cool in hindsight lol
@@KingOfWinter Wow, that’s still a pretty cool memory even at a lackluster WM. I was in the third row at Royal Rumble ‘02 and Taker took Maven into the crowd at the end of my row :D
Yeah, Miz got the Jericho treatment, being a third wheel in his main event match. Edge vs Del Rio was a little disappointing but understandable once we learned of Edge’s physical condition. The finish of Orton vs Punk copied a spot from the go-home Smackdown so IMO it was too predictable. What really let me down was Bryan/Sheamus being demoted to the pre-show, then replaced by a battle royal won by the useless Great Khali…I was really looking forward to that match, too.
There's 2 things we can remember about Hulk Hogan: he can't put the truth over and he's selfish when it comes to putting others over.
I lost count on how many pushes and matches were ruined by these 7 words: That's not gonna work for me, brother!
Some more things everyone needs to remember about Hogan: He took pro-wrestling from small territory based business to being a global phenomenon. He was the one who created the first boom in wrestling with Hulkmania. All the big 4 PPVs started with banking on him and his drawing ability.
That's not all, the second boom in wrestling business was also down Hulk Hogan, when he turned heel & NWO started, beginning the Monday night War.
Nobody has more impact on the business in history than him. Nobody, okay Vince can be the other one. But no other wrestler.
Hogan's success wasn't down to any single promotion, AWA, NWA, WWF, WCW, he was the undisputed draw.
Some of my list would be as follows :
1 . Randy Orton vs Triple H wrestlemania 25 (the stipulation)
2. The Miz as a Wrestlemania main eventer
3. Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania 7 and onwards
4. Shawn Micheals vs Bret Hart Wrestlemania 12 having One Fall in a freaking 60 MIN Iron match
5. Wrestlemania 32 except 2 matches
Etc.
Is Brock Lesnar the Hulk Hogan of Vince’s final years? When Adam said they fled back to the comfort of Hogan, sounds like the last couple years before HHH took over.
Wow, got recommended this the night after Roman beat Cody, it's probably a coincidence but...
I’m surprised Ric Flair vs Hogan wasn’t higher on the list, but I’ve read/heard many reports that to get Sid into the WWF his contract stated a Wrestlemania main event and that also lead to Flair/Hogan not happening as the payout for that to be ignored was way more than Vince was willing to pay.
I was at Mania 35, the transportation crisis cannot be overstated. My buddy and I were a 20 minute drive from MetLife but an Uber would’ve cost 90 bucks, so we had to take the subway. Cue two hours of waiting in the pouring rain for the bus, another two of trying to take the subway, and not getting to the AirBNB until five in the morning, a full four and a half hours after the show ended.
#1 is akin to watching a baseball game in extra innings. At some point, people stop caring, esp. when it goes into the wee hours of the morning. It grows very noticeable as the innings continue onwards. 3 hours is fine, 4 hours is endurable, but +5 is asking for one to begin growing antsy. Never fun to endure esp. when fatigue has sunk in and all you can think of is going home and going to sleep.
imagine, 30 years later, they do the same as in 1991 and the gulf war, but instead they bring back Rusev to do his russian gimmick to wrestle against Vladimir Kozlov, who was born in Kiev and they cash in on the ukrainian war. Absolute go away heat.
Worst part is, Vince wouldn't be ashamed to do it.
Or just call up Ilja Dragunov for the part of Russian heel. Ruin a great NXT talent with a horrible gimmick whilst you’re at it
thankfully kurt still had matches with AJ and joe during his final months in action so we could just act like the corbin disaster never happened
I was there at Wrestlemainia 35. Me and my partner were thinking of taking mass transit to Metlife Stadium since we didn't live too far. Thank God my partner didn't listen to me lol. He decided to drive. What normally is a 10 minute drive back home ended with a 2 hour drive home....the traffic was horrible leaving the stadium and mass of people walking around in front of traffic trying to get an uber....what a terrible night
I know going to wrestlemania is a great experience. I went to 26. Although, I somewhat feel bad tot the people who attended 35. The amount of hours and trying to get out must’ve been horrendous
I was at Mania 35. Sitting for hours in line, in the pouring rain, for a train that would never come, is my most pronounced memory of that experience.
Still a great time though!
I share that sentiment about WrestleMania 35 because I was there. I have a soft spot for it as it was my first WrestleMania but bloody hell it did NOT need to be that long. And being in that queue after the event for a train was just ridiculous.
Right there with you, twas an insane night
I went to Wrestlemania 35… at my local cinema.
That’s one single ticket that occupied 5 HOURS of the cinema’s screens. Management must have regretted it, because Mania hasn’t come back to the cinema yet.
i think a really interesting list idea could be top 10 wrestling trilogy’s of all time, and i mean in terms of matches. i’ve never really seen a video like that done before and it would be awesome to see.
Wrestlemania 35 was so long i went to sleep when it started and i woke up before it finished
I just started the video, but I hope Wrestlemania IX is spotlighted on here.
EDIT: Number 8, I'll take it.
It’s the best time of the week, friends!
Top 10 PFK video ft Adam Blampied on a Sunday morning. GREATNESS at it's finest. I love their editing that mixes well with the jokes. 🤣
Not including Luke Harper in the Randy Orton vs Bray Wyatt WWE Title match was a huge mistake
13:09 Hi NY’er here…The Subways don’t close…EVER. The only time the subways Close is if there’s an accident, or heavy construction, and even then. Just that one station would close. Every one else remains opened.
Okay, Wrestlemania 2000 could have been a really good triple threat. The Rock vs HHH vs Big Show, who could have "I won the Rumble'd" himself into the Main Event.
Punk vs Orton at Wrestlemia 27 was a good match as well
I'm shocked you didn't mention when they did the multiple venues thing again for Raw anniversary. It was horrible just like WrestleMania 2, except Undertaker was there to run a promo on absolutely nothing.
8:05 I think the Orton/Punk match at WM27 was pretty good.
2 day Mania is too long. Not everyone deserves a Mania match. One day, 4 hours is plenty.
I could have taken a top 20 of this. I wonder where on the cutting room floor went the main events for WM33, WM34, and Twice in a Lifetime.
Swap out Miz v Cena for HHH v Booker T. Yes, I know PFK has to throw shade at Miz in every video possible, but at least we knew well in advance that it was a setup for Cena v The Rock. Meanwhile the match where Racism Wins LOL in the worst fashion possible gets completely left off the list?
Yeah watching WM 35 at the library literally took me almost a week due to a 2 hour limit.
Ending the streak and Roman beating taker at wm were the biggest mistakes
I come from the week after mania 39. Oh, you poor sweet children.
Mania 9 was a all round disaster, with the first two matches were somehow passible
The only decent matches of Wrestlemania IX were:
Michaels vs Tatanka
and
The Steiner Brothers vs The Headshrinkers, that's about it.
I could see the Angle loss to Corbin being Angle's idea to try and put over a new face, because he's a magnificent human like that, not that I would have picked that ending.
7:12 Wait so WWE had Flair show up with WCW’s belt on their television when they were still on top, then in 97, went so far as to screw over one of their most loyal wrestlers to keep 𝙏𝙃𝙀𝙄𝙍 belt from being taken to WCW. Hah! I find that funny 😭
Man, they really fucked up Miz's 2010-2011 WWE title reign. Like heels needing help to beat babyfaces is fine 99% of the time, but Miz needing help to beat Jerry Lawler from Michael Cole took heels needing help to beat faces WAY too far
One that I miss in this list: Wrestlemania 34. Almost all of it:
-Strowman and a freaking child beating Sheamus and Cesaroto win the RAW Tag Titles
-Asuka's long-running win streak being ended by Charlotte Flair (the person who needed it the least). By submission. Only for Carmella to cash in her MiTB briefcase two days after
-Them somehow blowing it with Styles vs Nakamura
-And last but not least, Brock retaining against Roman, extending an underwhelming, 1-year long, championship reign by a part-timer when everything since the previous Mania was prepared for Roman to win the Universal title in the Main Event. And that's without using the power of hindsight and adding Roman having to vacate the title due to illness when he actually beat Brock
I was there for Wrestlemania 35 with my friends. If we hadn't had seats near an entrance and I wasn't ushering us to the second aka the last train to NYC we would have been stuck outside after midnight in the rain.
Why do I feel like this list could have twice as many entries
Because it could. Easily.
WM32 was the one WM in the past 10+ years I had to miss due to RL reasons but never went back to watch it on the Network/Peacock, thanks for reminding me why.
The subways don’t close in NYC. They run all night long. The problem was that Wrestlemania was in New Jersey, about 10 miles from NYC, and the train in NJ close. They could have finished the show in time if Trips didn’t have to have a boring 30 minute Triple H Wrestkemania match when the crowd was already exhausted. They just wanted to cheer for Becky and go home.
Two-night concepts have been a game changer to my enjoyment of Mania and dealing with the length!
#1 should be “Removing the number of which mania you are watching”
First mistake.. having Roman reigns main event any wrestle mania lol
It was definitely a huge mistake having Angle's final match against Corbin. There were much more deserving wrestlers Angle could have put over like A.J Styles Bobby Lashley Drew Mcintyre or even Roman Reigns, but they went with Corbin and worse even losing to him I don't get it just a waste!
Wrestlmania 27's punk vs Orton was pretty great
Mania 27 in it's defense had a couple of decent matches. Yes Edge vs ADR wasn't in the main event and could of done better but it was stjll a worthy opening match for Wrestlemania plus Cody vs Rey is what kickstarted the Evolution of the American Nightmare. Yea i am including Stardust into the formula.
That gave him range in how willing he was to commit to a character no matter how goofy or OTT it was.
But Rey did give him the fuel needed to advance up the card
While Wrestlemania 27 did suck, Orton vs Punk was really good.
Triple H going over Booker T.
The only blessing I'll ever give those 4-7 hour manias is that they prepared a vast majority of the audience to be able to sit through a long MCU film without having to get up and go to the bathroom.
Somebody within WWE seeing the success of the two night Manias.
"Hey... what about... two night... five hour Manias"
And no one disagrees.
And we all weep
At 8:06, where did that graphic (with all of the matches) come from?
There was a website I used to go to that would make great wallpapers like that, and I can't for the life of me remember what the site was called. Any help would be appreciated.
Happily, a major mistake has been averted this year by keeping Sami Zayn out of the main event.
I like him, and the moment of him winning the title might be great, but we’ve seen enough of these Kofi-Mania type fan “movements” to know that they have very longevity beyond that moment.
Zayn is better a perennial chaser. He would be completely forgettable as champion.
I said after Mania 35 that they really need to move to 2 nights just like Wrestle Kingdom. It still feels weird splitting Mania in 2 but god damn the run time ruined the end of Mania 35. It should have been a crowning moment for the company but the fans could not give less of a shite by that point and immediately started leaving. Poor Becky.
Speaking of that, y'all should name every WrestleMania main event match for Survival Series (Imagine the pressure on them)
Asuka, Nakamura and Cody not winning after taking the Rumble. Especially Asuka, since I'm pretty sure that was the first Women's Rumble, so you have to cap it off properly with the Mania win.
John Cena should have beat Kurt Angle at Wrestlemania 35, it would have been such a great closing to his career, being beaten by the guy he had beaten 15 or so years earlier.
Wm xxvii is the time when a main of raw main evented wrestlemania
One of the worse things that went wrong was that Wrestlemania 32,34, and 35 was just too bloody wrong especially Wrestlemania 35 7hrs my god!
yeah i had to watch those on replay and even then i had to come back later to finish them. thats y im glad Wrestlemania is 2 nights
@@mattalan6618 yeah I don't mind one night but they need to do it properly
Stephanie was so fine back then
Wrestlemania 35 was insane. Too long and started raining on us last 45 minutes. No ponchos given and the traffic was THE WORST EVER. It was my first mania and it is a childhood dream it is amazing. But next time you come to NJ/NY make it 4 hrs or get ur ass away wwe
3:09 Honestly I think something like this with modern technology probably could work a lot better.
Chinny Recon! Not heard that for years Adam 🤣🤔🤔
Wrestling fans: 5 hours is WAY too long for a show.
mma fans: casually watching 6 hour shows every saturday.
I would’ve put getting rid of the Money In The Bank match on the list. We got 3 years of wrestlemania with nothing to replace it, and it was replaced with the pointless Andre the Giant Battle Royal that has still never gone away
Nakamura not winning the title at Wrestlemania 34 should be there
9:35 spooky
Well we definitely need an update to this list.
They could do multiple venues now they're doing two night shows. Night 1 in one city, night 2 in another.
