Wrestlemania the movie
By Scott Keith on 18 March 2020
Hi Scott,
I know everyone is expecting Wrestlemania to suck this year but why can't it be completely awesome? With a closed set why couldn't they shoot it like a movie? What if they spent the next few weeks taping the matches? They could do camera work that would be impossible on a live show. They could do incredible elaborate entrances. They could edit the parts of a match that suck and in general trim all of the fat to keep the show at a reasonable length. They could work the matches out to avoid spot calling and at the same time amp up the mics so we hear everything. It COULD be awesome right?
You're not the first person to suggest this, but I just don't see them breaking out of their "We must present Wrestlemania like we always do, but without a crowd" mentality.
