Oh man that'd drive us OCD wrestling fans up the wall like never since Wrestlemania 2000 (XVI, damnit!). That complain is perfectly valid, I mean what are they going to call it in 3984? Wrestlemania 16 obviously, and then explain it as a mishap with the time vortex as to how the numbers got switched

I was always assuming, with CM Punk and all, WM XxX would be where we got Austin Vs Brooks but then again, Cena Vs Rock 3 could be fitting in some wild way.

30, for less Vin Diesel implication. Or maybe make the main event John Cena Vs Vin Diesel with Ron Jeremy as special guest ref if he pulls through.

Honestly, they should drop the whole number crap. Make it like the old In Your House PPVS. Wrestlemania: The Revenge or something like that.. I think that'd make Mania seem less special.

Roman numerals work like this 1 = I 5 = V 10 = X 50 = L 100 = C 500 = D 1000 = M when a numeral of lesser value is placed before a numeral of higher value you subtract the difference. ex: II = 2 X = 10 IIX = 1+1-10 = 8 so IIX is the same as VIII Therefore XXX= 10+10+10 = 30 is the same as XXL= 10+10- 50 = 30 But the rule of thumb is you don't start writing smaller values before Larger values until groups of 4. Either way if they go with XXX it with look like porn and if they go with XXL it will look like a fat guys shirt size. for a bigger example of roman numerals lets just say I was to write the year I was born. 1982 It's would be written as if I'm writing 1000, 900, 80 , 2 1000 = M 900 = CM (100-1000= 900) 80 = LXXX (50 + 30 = 80) 2 = II So my birth age in Roman Numerals is MCMLXXXII Theoretically, 3999 is the highest number you can write in Roman Numerals. I just figured out Roman Numerals is a lot harder to explain than it was to learn You are awesome for that post. I totally just learned something. Thanks for writing it.

I'm just glad someone was able to make sense of what I wrote. I also just realized that in the year 4000 some nut cases are probably gonna say it's the end of the world because the romans don't have a number for it. while I'm talking about numbers. the zero was invented in India in the 9th century. It is unknown by who exactly but what is known is that the 0 was picked because it is an infinite line filled with nothing inside. let's hear what Russel Peters has to say about that tidbit.

Regardless of the Porn connotations XXX just kind of looks cool. I think they'll go with it. 'WrestleMania xXx' just looks better than 'WrestleMania 30'.
I'm a fan of all the various ways of conveying numbers WWE come up with. Like WrestleMania X-Seven and WrestleMania X8.
Also, in other news, the concept of using Roman numerals only started with WrestleMania III. Before that it was just WrestleMania and then WrestleMania 2.

Is there any particular reason why the WM23 logo didn't have the usual 'Mania design? At least 2000 had the "W" wing thingy.
Edit: Screw the implications, just call it XXX. Unless the number is longer than five characters, stick with the roman numerals.

Unless the number is longer than five characters, stick with the roman numerals. My best guess is because it was in 'Motor City' and the new logo was kind of car themed.
