Official WrestleMania 36 Thread - 4/4-5/2020

Nobody knows when it will be safe to hold events of that size.

Has anybody else realised that “cancelled” is spelt wrong in the title? lol

good points...but ill counter....

you dont "need" Cena at Wrestlemania. They could book Cena/Fiend at any show over the next month...or even have it be like another final deletion style....outside an arena.

storylines can be put on hold easily. we all know the deal, the fans would actually understand it, despite what vince might think. you can easily shift the focus to something else for the time being and pick up where we left off later on. this is wrestling where they can change anything on the fly and run with it

Wonder what happens if one of their main stars (Brock, Cena, Taker, Drew, Becky, etc...) goes down with Coronavirus. We could honestly end up with a Great American Bash 2006 situation. I really just wish they'd postpone this. Id rather they take a few months off if necessary and come pick up where they left off once everything blows over.

Are you freaking kidding me? Are they really not delaying this, and instead are actually going to hold their biggest event of the year, in a tiny, empty performance center? Seriously?

If this actually goes down in the Performance Center, it's gonna be one of the most surreal things ever witnessed.

what a novel disaster. sorry to hear this news for the fans who were planning to attend.

I think on a certain level, it’s incredibly historical. this is the first (and hopefully last) no audience wrestlemania, let alone major wrestling event. it’s like seeing sports from the Cold War or something.

I’m not into the product enough to be hindered by this. let the show go on I say.

It sucks that one of the cooler looking, and more stacked WrestleMania's in recent memory is being thrown around and likely going to be a dud.

The move to the PC is stupid, it's stripping Mania of everything that makes it Mania... And it's screwing over EVERY fan to buy a ticket/package.
- The grand stage
- The large crowd
- The bright lights
- The pyro
- The overall 'big fight feel' atmosphere

They should have postponed the event until around June. People can wait, and the majority of people would rather wait a little longer while keeping WrestleMania what it is, rather than stripping it of its image and keeping it on. Plus it gives those who bought a ticket, a chance to honour that ticket and still attend, especially international fans.

Plus with that, they can still keep the storylines somewhat fresh and build them more, instead of putting something together and giving it less than 3 weeks to build. They can play off ideas like:
- "You're lucky WM was postponed, because you need all the time you can get to prepare for me"
- "Enjoy the extra time you have with the title, because when WM comes around i'm taking it"

Regardless, the health and safety of people come first and they did the right thing cancelling the show at the Stadium... They just should have postponed it instead of moving it to an empty Performance Center.

They seriously can’t just hold it at the arena they were going to use for the HOF ceremony, and NXT Takeover? It’s a nice sized arena that would get the job done.

It’s the same arena where Survivor Series 2000 took place. It’d have no crowd, but at least the place would be big enough to have a decent, proper stage, where it would still have that “Wrestlemania feel”.

I miss Wrestlemania in arenas, anyway. Either way, this is still one of the dumbest decisions I have ever seen from this company, and that’s saying something.
