i don't like it either, but i'm more caught off the fact that other than Taker and maybe Reigns (the angle makes it hard to tell), everyone is way too happy on the cover. i honestly can't think of a wrestling poster where almost everyone is smiling. it looks weird They're just having fun, Maggle!

Pfffft. WrestleMania 2022 won't happen until the year 4007. And ends with Roman holding up the two titles on top of his fallen opponent. Vince also has a match there, as well.

As someone who was fortunate enough to be in he crowd for Wrestlemania Play Button Sign, this news fails to move me in any significant direction.

Get Charlotte off and Kevin Owens on that cover.
And yeah, it's a Vince-ism regarding the number thing. It's the dumbest thing - having a long tenured event makes it seem like a bigger deal!

Not to mention that the NFL still calls the Super Bowl with the number. I know it’s different demos but still.

That's how happy they are!

It's silly and arbitrary and will probably not last very long until Vince changes his mind, like a lot of WWE decisions. Having said that, I don't see it as a big deal. None of the other PPVs have ever had a number. Just Wrestlemania. I've always found that weird. I’m almost certain the “40” for WrestleMania 40 will be accentuated cause old or not, that sounds like a big deal.

Yeah, kinda like how the logo for WrestleMania 30 returned to Roman numerals after the previous year used a site-specific design (the Empire State Building). I could see WWE hyping the show two years from now as “The Biggest WrestleMania of All Time” since the Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Which can also mean extra-large.

There better be a WWE title match between two hosses at that Mania.

I think the weirdest thing about the numbers thing is that the company is the only one that does it. We call it by the number, the press call it by the number, the wrestlers in interviews call it by the number, the only people that think it sounds old are the people who, management wise, are old enough to know that every other sporting event still recognizes numbers and they’re all substantially higher (the Olympics, the Super Bowl etc).

Pfffft. WrestleMania 2022 won't happen until the year 4007. The main event will be Magnus, Robot Fighter vs. Roman Reigns. Those cybernetic enhancements were the best thing that ever happened to Nick Aldis.

The Super Bowl is an apt comparison because the league, while still recognizing numbers in the logos, has been moving away from referring to them by number with mixed results. Some announcers, players etc will still refer to the number but many just say the Super Bowl and everyone knows they're referring to the upcoming/current one. When they brought The Rock in this past one they had him say "Welcome to the Super Bowl" not "Welcome to Super Bowl 56". Amusingly a lot of the hardcore NFL fans have the inverse complaint (which I share): They could dump the number and we'd be fine with it as long as they brought back original logos. The NFL has had this boring ass trophy design sign since Super Bowl 44. At least WM still has a unique logo for each edition.
