Having a PPV on a Saturday is a good idea, though. I’d just forget about the Sunday one.
Nobody wants to stay up late when they have work the following morning. I know some people do work on a Sunday, but it’s the minority. Big boxing events have always been held on a Saturday for similar reasons. WWE should follow suit.
If we’re just judging the two-night experiment on this year’s card, then it’s actually laughable that Vince McMahon has even attempted to do so. He barely has a card strong enough for a single
B-level PPV, let alone two evenings of WrestleMania, which is meant to be the biggest spectacle in all of entertainment.
Why can’t they just focus on putting together a good product for once, instead of always thinking bigger is better? When was the last time they actually made an effort? Maybe WrestleMania 30? That was seven years ago. It’s a wrestling show. It’s not rocket science. Vince Russo proved that.
Let’s stop inducting every Tom, Dick and Harry into the Hall of Fame every year, and instead build the event around one truly deserving legend and have the entire night dedicated to that man/woman with WWE Superstars speaking on what they have meant to the business. Cap it at two hours, deliver it on the Thursday prior to WrestleMania.
Follow that with an exciting TakeOver event on Friday, and deliver a great WrestleMania on Saturday. That will give them Sunday to recharge and refocus on a brand new season in WWE, kicking off with an exciting episode of Raw that will keep the buzz going for many months moving forward.
