It's really a 4 night show:
  1. WM Smackdown
  2. WM Saturday
  3. WM Sunday
  4. WM RAW.
All of that, plus all of the indy stuff. It's too much!
:damn::damn::damn::damn::damn::damn::damn:

I been watching some of the indy stuff for the first time but mostly people that I know or have interest in. shyt like some memorial show, spring break part 1, blood sport Yet there's so much to watch. And some shows I skipped completely and others like ROH I just watched the tag title match cuz my boy wanted to watch it and we heard it was good even tho I kind of knew the result beforehand. I just finished watching some njpw show. But I still gotta watch the impact event, stand and deliver, and Hall of fame. Plus Raw tomorrow night cuz it's one after mania. And then barely get a break cuz by Wednesday it's dynamite. Too much wrestling, too little time.

Last year was a really fun Mania and even though I only caught parts of both shows this year, it's been received as an even better event than WM 37.

They are 2 of 2 with this new format and they continue to establish Mania as a unique spectacle so why would they change it? :mjtf:

As well they should... there's way more pros than cons at this point.

Even with the time they have to put on two shows, there's still matches that don't make it on or get the time cut. It's something that could be solved with better time management, but one thing's for sure- it'd be far worse if it was just one loooooong ass night.

The crowd excitement stays up for the entirety of the show(s) instead of burnout from being out there so long.

They sell tix and make money for two nights instead of one... and actually FOUR nights instead of one.

From a fan, talent, AND company standpoint, there's way more reasons to keep it two nights than go back to one. It's been an unexpected change but not a bad one.

Because I like the traditional one night. 2 nights adds filler. This card woulda been better as 1. But someone brought up how making it a weekend thing like a festival is a good idea. I guess I can go with it when y oh look at it like that.

As a guy who's now done the 7+ hour WM live and the two nights, both have their + and -

With one night, it made the weekend as a whole easier to handle if that makes sense. On the WWE's old schedule, the one night WM allowed for the HOF Friday, NXT Saturday, WM Sunday, RAW Monday, and SD Tuesday. It was perfect scheduling wise. But the 7 hour show can be draining (WM30 the seven hours flew by because of how great it was but WM34 dragged)

The two night WM allowed the moments for me this weekend to breathe more but I will still a bit tired Sunday night halfway through the show. And the schedule is all jammed up. If you wanna do everything you have SD and the HOF on top of each other, then NXT the next morning, then you gotta beeline to WM, then do WM again the next day. If you fly in to the host city on Friday, you really don't have time to do things like Wrestlecon or Axxess or stuff like that because of how on top of each other the WWE's events are.

I'm STILL a guy who would prefer one night if I had my way and simply just condense the card ("if you make the card you make it, if not tough shyt") but I'm more accepting of a two night show now that I've experienced it. It obviously gives WWE more money and like someone alluded to, the WWE can more and more make it more like a festival.
