I always like to think about when WrestleMania won't sell out. It seems like it will be a long way off, but WrestleMania 32 was on a slow crawl until Shane McMahon got added to the card. They can't pull that rabbit out of their hat again. It seems like people will just go to WrestleMania, but when does that stop being en vogue and when does it get to the stage where WWE just can't get 70,000 people.

There's only so many Lesnars, Takers, Rocks, Cenas, McMahons, Stings, Goldbergs, etc. they can bring in to make it feel special. It will live off the name for a while after all those guys can't physically even move and WWE can't trot them out for star power. But once it becomes the norm that Reigns, Rollins, Ambrose, Balor, etc. are the TOP draws for WrestleMania (on top of the fact that they've all faced each other a hundred times on Raw already) it's gonna be an issue.

Think they have to go back to running smaller arenas? Or did they say "fuck it" and let someone like Velveteen Dream be an actual star?

Just move it to 40k stadiums then.
They had a go-home RAW to a WM at SkyDome once, I wonder what that drew (WM15 or 16 I believe). I'm sure they cut off part of the dome for the show and it still looked fantastic on tv. |

Based on these photos of concerts at Citi Field 2nd base would be a good spot for the ring:

Yeah, but you've still gotta keep that name meaning something or it loses that luster over time. That's why they still bring in all the stars who are over from past eras that they can for it. They still TRY to make it special because if you set the precedent that it's just another show main evented by the current crop of stars that is identical to a B PPV card, the name eventually loses its value.

All they need to do is bring back the crop of legends that got insanely over between 2002-2017.

I don't think they will run a baseball field for WM if they are using one for RR, so I'd say whatever they use will be a stadium and seat 65 plus.

They'd be great for House Shows. Maybe not with their current sets, but it could work if they wanted something more basic again.
