In what conceivable way does a big flashy stage indicate that WWE is denying it's a wrestling show? No offense, but how does one even come to that conclusion? It's Wrestlemania. There's no sense in being understanded there, IMO. It's hard hard to come to the conclusion that WWE doesn't want people to know it's a wrestling show. The name is just an unfortunate inheritance. What with changing the company name to remove 'wrestling' and essentially banning the word on television, they're hardly flying the wrestling flag like the moustache people do gay pride. Except the announcers and talent say "wrestling" and "wrestlers" on TV constantly, even more so now since they got so much backlash during the (very brief) period they actually did de-emphasize it.

Wrestlemania feels forced these days. I use the example of "Wrestlemania moments". Back in the day, they just happened. They were moments that transcended the booking. Even if scripted, they felt natural and special. Now, it seems they are overly manufactured. A guy points at the Wrestlemania sign and says "I want my Wrestlemania moment". He crashes through a table at Wrestlemania and the announcers say "That's a Wrestlemania moment!!!", and that's repeated ad nauseum the next night on RAW. That's what the stage represents to me. Something forced. Instead of Wrestlemania being special organically, now we are just told that it is, and if the audience doesn't believe it, it doesn't matter. It'll be rammed down their throats anyway.

Maybe they'll bring back the carts they used at Mania's 3 and 6. I'm a huge mark for those carts.

I guess I'm one or the few here who loves big elaborate stages and fireworks and such. I imagine they look incredible live in person. When I was in Backlash 2004 I was really hoping to see the swinging guillotine or something cool since Backlash usually had some of the best PPV set designs and when there was no set design that was beyond minimial it was one of the most dissappointing live experiences I felt.
At least it was a great f***ing PPV!

Tickets went on sale 2 days ago? Is it sold out yet? Very odd that this news went right under the radar... If they have a tough time selling tickets, I could see them putting a stage in and readjusting seating (since lots of people may've bought seats in the area a stage would encompass)... Although honestly I'd love a no-stage WM30. Look how beaming Vince is revealing that. Makes me smile just looking at his face in the beginning Just read much of WrestleCrap.com, and understand that he's probably made that face many times for most of the items on that site. Vince McMahon is &^%$ing insane.
