Just curious, but does anyone actually feel like NOT watching Wrestlemania this year?? I tried watching Smackdown and Raw, and I can't take it serious when guys and girls come to the ring, to their music, with no fans, and get in the ring and cut a promo or have a match. Also, I can't see the matches being that great. A lot of what makes a match great is the fans giving a reaction and the adrenaline the wrestlers get from that fan reaction. I just feel that this show is gonna suck, especially if it's 5 hours plus a 2 hour pre show. Even before they were forced to do empty shows, it was already a horrible Road to Wrestlemania. Brock Lesnar, Goldberg, John Cena and Undertaker are in the top 4 matches and they are never on TV to help build the match. |

If Drew McIntyre beats Brock Lesnar, it wont be the first time he won a World Championship in Orlando with nobody in the audience

But man, that crowd reaction! That segment was so hot top to bottom, the initial triple threat to Drew chasing in, such a moment! Crowd was so hot! I really miss Impact's audience being that alive and loud! |

Just that little amount of fans would make Wrestlemania a much better experience though.

I just don’t understand why they can’t postpone. Money has already been lost, just run “best of” shows until this stuff starts to clear up. You can already tell Wwe hates these PC shows based off the fact that we’ve seen 3 matches total in the past week. Imagine the electricity at WrestleMania if they postponed all shows and that was the first show back from a long absence without fans. There has to be wrestlers in WWE that think this idea is absolutely stupid and they don’t want to speak up against it. I really hope these MSG rumors are true, South Korea’s basketball league is already preparing for a comeback after a 4 week absence.

I really hope these MSG rumors are true, South Korea’s basketball league is already preparing for a comeback after a 4 week absence. It has less to do with WWE hating the PC than it does with them being hampered by rules and general concern over the virus. There is a limited number of people allowed to be in a building at the same time, so when you factor in the refs, commentators, and crew, there's a finite number of wrestlers who can be there too. Then you have to factor in social distancing. Kind of hard to have matches when you have to stay six feet apart (although I think some people on this current roster could still do that convincingly), so there's a lot of risk involved unless the company is getting the workers tested. |

Two nights is absolutely the right call here.

"History making Two night Wrestlemania", expect to hear those words a million times in the next few weeks.

I'm not against a 2 night Mania, worked well for New Japan, bit under these circumstances... with no crowd... at the performance centre... and announced by Rob Gronkowski?? Just so weird.

After watching some clips of AEW Dynamite just now, if they can pull off the production value they did a few hours ago, I think Wrestlemania 36 will be a lot more watchable.
They had good commentators, with very good commentary, production staff sitting outside the ring, up again the barricades, in addition to the cameraman outside the ring, and they actually had some wrestlers, and backstage personnel sitting out in the audience to make up for the lack of an actual crowd. It was pretty brilliant. Felt a lot less lifeless, if that makes sense.
If WWE doesn’t at least do this, and does it like they did with the last Smackdown, and Raw, with no kind of audience whatsoever, and dead silence, then it will be tough to watch. Take notes. You got over two weeks to figure things out.
