Imagine if they decorate Full sail similar to how WM22 looked, that would be cool.

How on Earth can they justify giving Tamina a Wrestlemania match? Ugh. I assume the original plan was to shift to Sasha vs Bayley, but with Sasha missing so much time. They switched it up. But good god... Tamina!? I guess they really wanted a Six Pack Challenge and needed to have someone in there since Carmella is declining to participate in shows during this time. If Mella is out, then I guess something random does kind of make sense. The last ten Manias have basically all been "get everyone in a match whether they should be at Mania or not", so it's kind of refreshing to see 36 mostly not following that trend. Obviously there are extenuating circumstances behind that, but I'm still kind of digging the feel. Mania 26-35 featured the following non singles or traditional tag matches: 10 battle royals 8 triple threats 7 fatal four ways 3 six man tag matches 2 lumberjack matches 2 seven man ladder matches 1 six pack challenge 1 six person intergender tag match 1 eight man tag match 1 ten woman tag match 1 ten man ladder match 1 twelve man tag match 1 fourteen woman invitational match and a Partridge in a Pear Tree 29 was the only Mania from the last ten that only had one with a six man tag. |

Black vs Lashley & Street Profits vs Garza/Andrade have both been added to WM. Both random and potentially unnecessary, but the talent all deserve a spot.

What a weird WM this is shaping up to be. Who would actually be upset if they pushed it back to July and gave more time to actually build up matches?
Seriously, we're a year or two out from Vince putting the Mania card together a week or two ahead of the actual event with little to no build.

I wouldn't be upset since I thought this WrestleMania was doomed long before the social distancing element, but the post-pandemic "normal" might be sparse crowds at any kind of public event for months. WWE isn't guaranteed that this summer's prospects are going to be worth the wait. |

Apparently two stars are being kept off the Wrestlemania card because of undisclosed illnesses. Dana Brooke, who had recently been advertised for the SD Women's Title 6-Pack Challenge, and Rey Mysterio, who was originally planned to be involved in a US Championship match, are both being kept away from talent, who are themselves being squirreled away in hotel rooms in an attempt to get thru Mania takings.
In other news, NXT matches that were being planned for TakeOver: Tampa are now expected to take place over NXT shows in April. Some content was already taped at Full Sail over the weekend.

From what I have read, they're filming WrestleMania tomorrow and Thursday. Does that mean that RAW and SmackDown for the coming weeks is already done? Seems like a big shot for a blunder if you have two nights of Mania filmed without the last week and a half of shows done, too.
I posted a few days ago with how disappointed I have become this Mania season because of all the events around it. I just watched a Cultaholic video, though, and it gave me some more perspectives and thoughts about it.
They mentioned how WrestleMania could be shot and presented more like a movie: pick and choose the match order after the matches have already taken place; get unique angles because you can literally get a camera anywhere in the PC; and if a match stinks, they have the option to redo it.
I guess I should have told myself that different doesn't mean bad. Last night's RAW was a night-and-day improvement from the first two weeks of PC shows. That first Smackdown from the PC, it was so obvious they had no idea what to do. This week's RAW was just a huge jump forward and gave me a lot of hope that they'll get this empty arena stuff down in time for WrestleMania.

Hoping for some crazy LEDβs throughout all of the audience, and staging area, simulating (both audibly, and visually) palm trees and them swaying in the wind, lit fire torches, an ocean and the water in it splashing hard, and a pirate ship sailing about it.
It would sure beat the dead silence from no crowd, and would also present something satisfying to look at, and hear, while everyone is performing. I have a feeling theyβll do the bare minimum, though π

Roman Reigns and Bill Goldberg seems like the biggest match.

I have a feeling theyβll do the bare minimum, though π Just pull out the SummerSlam 2007 stage from the Warehouse. Thatβs exactly the style of stage I wanted (one of my favorite stages of the non-HD era), in addition to the pirate theme and water, but WWE is all about using massive LEDβs nowadays, hence why I went with the idea I came up with. Donβt get me wrong, I LOVE LEDβs, and bright/neon colors, and lights (Lite Brite, and the neon glow sticks were my thing as child), but I do miss the original, creative stages used pre-HD. If they can simulate something similar, be it with real props, or via an all LED stage, Iβm happy. Itβs Wrestlemania. It deserves the effort, and special treatment. |

Roman Reigns and Bill Goldberg seems like the worst and most predictable match. I agree completely. |

With Dana being quarantined now, put Mella in her spot. Thought she deserved the spot over Dana and Tamina both

Aside from NXT getting mostly snubbed (since Takeover was cancelled), and Alias vs. Corbin, Iβm pretty happy with the lineup. Iβm sure these will happen, but Iβm still waiting on confirmation of Otis vs. Ziggler, Bryan w/Gulak vs. Zayn w/Nakamura & Cesaro, Bliss & Cross vs. The Kabuki Warriors, and Miz & Morrison vs. either New Day, or the Usoβs (should be a triple threat, tbh). Seems solid overall, all things considered, especially if the above is added.
