UK Kat Von D Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 2 hours ago, King Pitcos said: Maybe it’s be fine. If they did it this year, the card would probably be these matches (if we were keeping it to 5 like Takeover and going for the workrate stuff): Lashley vs Balor Mysterio vs Joe Ryder/Hawkins vs Revival Smackdown tag team four way Nese vs Murphy I suppose that could work decently as a Takeover-style show? It just seems small-time as fuck but without the indie cred - but as you say, it'd probably sell out months in advance and if it delivered on the night, it’d establish itself as a cool brand for Mania weekend. Exactly what I was thinking except maybe add a women’s match as well. Would be a tidy card and a fun watch. If they presented it as “see what the main roster guys can really do without any restraints” they would have an audience. It would be all the most hardcore fans, so we’d get a loud crowd where everyone is over to fuck
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted April 6, 2019 Paid Members Posted April 6, 2019 I think them trying a 2 day Mania event is inevitable. To really indywank it up, they can even do a NXT crossover match etc.
CL Punk Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 On Sunday, we have 16 matches, not including interviews, this year's hall of fame and various skits and segments adding up to what, eight maybe nine hours of Wrestle-Mania? I would welcome a two night event, if it meant a shorter show on each night (eight matches on a show that is only four hours). Imagine if someone won the Andre The Giant Battle Royal on night one and then actually got to challenge a champion or got to do anything on night two.

I’m assuming your including the pres-show in your timings there, if not then your being a tad dramatic. Some matches, like the RAW tag team title match, will be lucky if they get 5 minutes, so just because we’re getting a 13 match main show doesn’t mean everything is going to be a 20 minute showcase
Otto Dem Wanz Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 On that point, 'Mania 17 had 11 matches but never dragged a second, because it was limited to 4 hours and was paced well.

You're right about not every match getting 20 minutes but last year's mania had 14 matches and was a little over eight hours long.

That’s the danger of going over two nights as well. Using NotManiaLol as a go-home show for WrestleMania with qualifiers and stuff, so WrestleMania itself still has 15 matches on the night and lasts ten hours.

I was thinking they should keep the battle royal on the main card as then those who have to do the night before stuff can still have something to do on the main show

I don't have a problem with everyone being on the card though just the length and match numbers. They do go hand in hand normally unless you have a big multiman match
Paid Members garynysmon Posted April 9, 2019 Paid Members Posted April 9, 2019 I must admit that I also thought that Kofi looked way too skinny to be a world champion when watching his match against Daniel Bryan at 'Mania. Fuck me, wouldn't go that far though.... Superstar Billy Graham: "I urge you to start doing some steroids and add about 50 pounds of solid muscle to your championship body."
King Pitcos Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 He’s already held the WWE title longer than Roman Reigns did the first time, so when did modern-day history start?
