Will WrestleMania be 4 or 5 hours this year? The only reason I ask is that with all the stars and potential feuds they have in place, it seems like it will be hard to fit it in the normal Mania timeslot.
I mean, RAW alone will have 5 matches atleast, Smackdown will need atleast 3 on the main card, the Shaq/Big Show match, the Cruiserweights, Smackdown Women, Battle Royal, Tag Titles on both brands, etc.... I just feel with the brand split and sheer roster size, something has to give.
Thoughts?

Probably be the same as WrestleMania 32: 2 hour pre-show and 3-4 hour main show.

I could see three Kickoff matches -- cruiserweights, Andre battle royal, and an interbrand tag for the women who aren't on the main show. I could see SmackDown combining stuff, so Orton and American Alpha vs the Wyatts in a six-man, and Bryan, Miz and the main women in another team match. I hope that Big Show and Shaq will be pushed to them both being in the battle royal rather than a full match. |

WrestleMania 32 went about 4.5 hours this past April even though it was set to go only 4. It'll likely be the same thing this year since they have the Network for the overrun:
Kickoff: 5-7 PM EST
WrestleMania: 7-11+(?) PM EST

My ticket says 5:30pm, so I assume it's the same window as last year.

WM32 was the worst. It was way too long. By the time The Rock came out I was ready for it to be over. I get that they wanna get everyone on the card but its their Super Bowl not an event where everyone gets participation trophy. Streamline to where only the best of the best get on the show. Throw all of the people with insignificant roles in the Battle Royal and put them on the kick off show. Only your A and B listers make it to main show.

I say 4 and a half this year. I think the bigger question right now is that is the Rumble 4 hours?

At the rate they've been going I wouldn't be surprised if Wrestlemania started during the Hall of Fame ceremony. They really need to learn how to keep these shows tight. One of the many things I've learned from Seinfeld is always leave them wanting more.

My God I hope the main card isn't 5 hours this year like last year! Maybe it was 5 hours last year to give the record crowd more bang for their buck. I hope it's no more than 4 this year. 5 hours is beyond overkill!
