Professional wrestling legend and two times WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair who is a former sixteen times World Champion as recognised by the WWE recently talked about the two night WrestleMania and explained why he preferred it.
For the last two years WWE is organizing two night Wrestlemanias. WrestleMania 36 was the first Wrestlemania to take place in two different nights. Unfortunately there was no crowd to enjoy such a Historical event. And of course it was a pretty good event.
Ric Flair Reveals Why He Prefers Two Night WrestleMania
WWE previously organized WrestleMania where the event took place in different venues with different matches. For example WrestleMania to was the first event to take place in three different menus on the same night and on the same time. What WrestleMania 36 was the first event to take place in two different nights with different match cards.
This is the new concept and WWE is doing it every year since 2020. They are going to do it this year as well. Previously it was reported that WWE would not be organising to night WrestleMania this year. But WWE later change their minds and now it has been official that it would be a two night event.
Honestly there is not enough difference between the most recent one night WrestleMania events and the two night Wrestlemania. The match card is filled with almost same amount of matches and the total time length of the event does not vary enough either.
From last year WWE came up with a new concept that the winner of the women Royal Rumble winner will headline the main event of Wrestlemania night 1 and the winner of the men’s Royal Rumble match will headline WrestleMania Night 2. This is a fair decision and it actually made Royal Rumble a worthy event.
Ric Flair who is a former sixteen times World Champion as recognised by the WWE recently spoke on his Wooooo Nation Uncensored podcast where he talked about the two night WrestleMania and explained why he preferred it. He said;
“By design, it’s to get as much talent in that position, and they deserve to be. They work hard all year long. Everybody that’s been part of the show on a regular basis deserves to be at Mania. That’s the simple explanation on my part.
“If you’re on TV every week, you’re there, and you’re worried and nervous that you’re not going to be on the show, the chances are greater that you’re going to be part of the show now in some capacity. It’s something for them to remember for the rest of their lives being at WrestleMania.”
