Former two times WWE champion Drew McIntyre who is also a former two times WWE Tag Team Champion recently explained why he loved to night WrestleMania and why he is a fan of this concept.
The first time WWE organized a two night WrestleMania was last year which was WrestleMania 36. It was the first ever WrestleMania to take place in two different nights. But unfortunately it had to be organised behind the closed doors because of the terrible covid-19 pandemic. The show was quite good, there were some epic moments which had to take place behind closed doors, unfortunately.
WrestleMania 38 – Drew McIntyre Explains Why He Is A Fan Of Two Night WrestleMania
Once again WWE organised a two night WrestleMania this year. Fortunately, there were fans this year and it was definitely a good show. But at a point it was been reported that WWE may not be organising the two night event once again and they are going back to one night event. A lot of fans supported this decision saying one night show is more impactful than two nights.
But now reports have made it clear that WrestleMania 38 will be a two night show once again. But there is nothing much difference between a two night show and a one night show except for organising the same show in 2 days.
For example, WrestleMania 35 and WrestleMania 36 had almost the same show time, the only difference was WrestleMania 36 was a 2 night show where WrestleMania 35 was organised in only one night.
Drew McIntyre who is also a former two times WWE Tag Team Champion recently spoke to Battleground podcast where he explained why he loved to night WrestleMania and why he is a fan of this concept. He said;
“I’m a fan of the two nights. I wasn’t sure if we were going to go back to one night. The two nights are kind of based on the times we’re in. We did it over two nights as a way to escape during the pandemic, during the Covid situation. I did say during the interviews during that time, if you look back on them that I really hope it sticks. I love WrestleMania.
“Everyone loves WrestleMania and the spectacle of it, but it’s so huge that sometimes I think it was 7 hours. As much as you love WWE, and the spectacle of WrestleMania, 5 hours sitting there and then 2 hours extra, and if you’re a Superstar wrestling 6 ½ hours in, and fans are trying to scream but nothing is coming out because they’ve lost their voice, it can get a little quiet even with 80,000 people there.
“I love the idea of a whole weekend of WrestleMania, like two good length shows, two good 4-hour shows. The fans are there. They are loud from start to finish, but not only that, but once the event is over, they are like, ‘Wow, that was amazing. I can go again tomorrow and experience that again?’ I’m all about a weekend for WrestleMania.”
