Show is just TOO long
-Triple H match down to 10 min (he is freaking 50)
-No US/IC/Tag Title matches. You spent no time building any of these, don't just have matches for the sake of it
-Don't need a national anthem
There, same show without the excess fat

As I said in another thread, they should have moved all the pre-show matches to Axxess on Thursday, and toss the US and IC matches in there for a 'main event' to that day. There's literally nothing stopping the WWE from paying their talent the same whether they performed on Thursday or Sunday, only their own politics. Tighten up the card and skip all the sideshow filler (the hosts are absolutely worthless no matter who is doing it). |

I did, I didn't watch a lick of the Pre-Show
I feel awful for the people who did, and even more so for the ones there live, can imagine some passed out in their seats.

Take off the IC Title, US Title, Roman v Drew, HHH v Batista and give Kurt a different opponent and this could have been one of the greatest Mania’s ever.

They don't play the National Anthem.
America the Beautiful is not the National Anthem.

They don't play the National Anthem. America the Beautiful is not the National Anthem. As far as I'm concerned Real American should be our National Anthem. Vince, you need to talk to your buddy about this. |

I think one hour less is fine, but I don't mind a long show when it's good and well-balanced like this WM was. This was the first one in forever where I wasn't checking the time a lot.

Two hours would have been too much. They could probably do one hour less.

Not every match should be a 30 minutes spot or finisherfest ...most should have a ten minute time limit (including entrances) and have 3/4 Main matches which go 15/20 mins ... if they want to squeeze everyone one

I’m not sure what they should do beyond toughening up and not booking the whole roster on the show. Still give bonuses and such, but you can’t have a shorter show that has 100 different people on it. It sucks for those left off, but hey, not everyone plays in the Super Bowl every year either.

If you can't spend 20 minutes on RAW or Smackdown building a match over the course of the couple months going into Mania, why in the hell spend 20 minutes on it during the main show

I would've been fine without the IC/US matches (guessing Lashley gets a rematch tonight anyway), or the Orton/AJ match. At least the stuff on the pre-show stayed there.

Just cut Triple H vs. Batista and you've saved a solid 10 hours right there

I didn't mind the length this year. It was mostly paced well.
If you cut the IC Title, you lose 10 minutes with entrances, so not much. You also get no Demon, which I liked seeing.
Cutting the US Title loses like, 3 minutes from the show.
The Raw Tag Title was good but didn't need to be there, so I get that.
The Smackdown Tag Title match ruled so I wouldn't want to lose that.
I'm good with Batista/HHH going 15 and no America the Beautiful though.

I honestly have no complaints being there live
The show flowed nicely and while a match could been cut, I never felt tired when I was there

- No Angle-Corbin
- No Triple H-Batista
*** you could build another PPV around these guys bot having career-ending matches on the same night - doesn't have to be at WrestleMania
- No Alexa, no Hogan, no R-Truth/Carmella, no Lacey Evans and other needless timesucks
- Kill like 90 percent of the stupid pre-show chatter with Coachman, Sam Roberts, et al. Only 45 minutes of the two-hour pre-show was in-ring action. That left an hour and 15 of junk.
- Cut Reigns/McIntyre in half
- Cut AJ/Orton by a third.
- Cut Joan Jett
- Cut Charlotte arriving by helicopter
- Optional cut: Cena-Elias (or make it a quick impromptu match)
That should be plenty more than two hours to tighten things up.
