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 I can't wait for Wrestlemania L.

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.

Featuring ECW Reunion XXX!! I now want to Photoshop this, unless someone else is up to the task, since I actually don't feel like it right now.

Have it be Wrestlemania XXX, where the mascot is "Hillbilly" Daniel Bryan and his cartoon jug of moonshine.
