Maybe it’s just me, but there were like no skits at all on WrestleMania. Barely even a backstage interview. It was just matches and video packages (half of which are to cover for Peacock going to ads apparently). YEah, there was just constant recaps and the same video package played multiple times.... for the "cause peacock has ads" is a pretty dumb excuse... the idea is get Peacock + without ads... the WWE is basically offering instead of random ads... you get... a long ad for the thing you are already watching... So as incentive I dunno... start one of the overly long entrances that are long just to be long... show an exclusive promo ... do f***ing something other than a promo package you've undoubtedly run for the twentieth time in the show. Hell, if you’re on Peacock…promote other Peacock shows? Not saying the Saved by the Bell return would have been saved if WrestleMania viewers watched it but, like, no harm in trying, right?

Not that other promotions don't have issues with time management too, but the WWE just seems to be this odd duck where increasing the amount of time available never actually seems to help, or actually makes things worse. See also: 3-hour Raws.

Yeah, this is why I have such a hard time arguing against 2-night 'Manias. And I watched Wrestlemania 35 and I actually don't remember this match even happening. Everything after Bryan v Kingston until the main event just blends together. I literally stared at this comment for a full minute wondering when Bryan wrestled Eddie Kingston at WM before I clicked it was Kofi. I think I need some sleep.

But we need the 164 Snickers ads!!!!! Those ads basically sub for crappy WWE skits.

Batista / Triple H might've been good if it were like 15 minutes shorter but no, Triple H always had to have the longest match so interminable slog is what we got.
