I recently came across this video on youtube recapping Wrestlemania 29 and imo it made the event look a trillion times better than it actually was. And it got me thinking, why did WWE axe the videos they ran at the end of Wrestlemanias between 17 and 25? Does anyone know? It may not have been a huge part of the show, but to me it was little things like that, that made Mania presented like such a more special show than any other random PPV.
Heres the one from Wrestlemania 29
Heres a reference one from Wrestlemania 25 (the last time they ran one regularly to my knowledge)

My friend and I were just talking about this the other day. The recap video was one of the best parts of WrestleMania. I really think they should bring them back.

They still make them every year, but they don't play them on the shows anymore. They usually play them before live events on the Titantron hyping the DVD. There is one for WrestleMania 27 that is on the bluray.

Yeah I remember they put the 27 recap on the blu ray but not for 26, 28, 29. I found 28 on youtube but it was a fan camera before an event, it looked awesome, shame some of these will never reach most fans.

Yes, WWE has really stopped doing great montages in general, except when someone dies. And it's a shame - because they do them so well - I think they undervalue how much these great packages can enhance a PPV that was actually not that great - afterwards, many people remember these packages way more than the actual PPV.....
I wish they still did these more often!

Yeah, they were pretty neat.
The Mania 21 always stood out to me.

It does suck that they don't have them anymore following the events on PPV/DVD/bluray. Hopefully with it being WrestleMania XXX, they'll make one for the end of the show.

Man I loved watching these! I watch a fan-made WM XXVI recap and it is awesome IMO. PPP I think it the maker.

It always used to baffle me how quickly they'd put them together and air it as the PPV ended. That's a hell of a production team.

^There was a terrific WWE.com extra that the WM22 DVD linked to that detailed how hectic it was for the editors' to piece together the closing montage. Everybody was assigned certain parts of the show, and the poor guy that got the main event had to work especially fast.
I bet they just didn't want to put extra pressure on their production team anymore.

I figured it had something to do with the time allotted at the end of the show. I always wondered that myself, how they get it out so fast at the end of the show. I'll have to go and watch that extra, didn't know it was on there, thanks! I do wish they added on to the end of the show for the dvd/bluray release though.
