The only thing interesting about this years show is how much of a train wreck will it be with all the shuffling of the card because of sickness and injuries (pull outs from Roman Reigns case that is) all with an empty arena that really won't feel like a WrestleMania. It's going to be weird.

That said, they've apparently already recorded all (or most of) the matches so it won't be live. No reason for it to be without an audience either. So if there are any screw ups it'll be funny because they'll have been able to redo spots to fix them and splice them together.

That said, this years card sucks ass even before pull outs and so on. The only interesting match from a pure wrestling stand point is Seth Rollins vs Kevin Owens. However we've seen them wrestle multiple times already so not sure what they could do in such a situation to really stand out.

I'd suggest unless you're getting it for free or you just have the Network already to skip it. Or if you're just interested into how weird it'll be go for it.

Yeah, it's gonna be pretty terrible.

I'd recommend that they give it to ESPN or FOX and let them air it, but with how bad it will be it definitely won't draw more viewers in.

As the saying goes, nothing can destroy a bad business faster than good marketing.

Edit: I also heard KO was sick.

Interesting thought in regards to ESPN or FOX. I'd be curious to know what the re-airings of past WrestleMania's has done on ESPN lately with people starved for something sports related even if it is scripted. I'd imagine that airing it on ESPN at least 1 of the 2 nights would make sense as I think it'd give them good ratings numbers. Maybe do Night 1 on ESPN and Night 2 of the Network. I think that could really make sense.

If KO is sick now too than fuck. This whole thing was a shit show and should have been postponed to begin with. I wonder what a guy like Undertaker or Goldberg are thinking who are older and more high risk to this illness. Now I know they have the money to probably get through it but still. Just, fucking why put your talent/employees in this situation other than to make Vince McMahon his money. Personally I salute Reigns for just stepping out and saying "nah".
