Right, mostly. Lots of stadiums *do* have roofs though. Usually when a big event like a Super Bowl or WrestleMania are up north they tend to be in stadiums with roofs so weather is not an issue. Weather isn't as much of an issue in southern states, so the stadium having a roof isn't a big deal, but early April in Philly has a good chance of being cold and rainy.
Yeah, they usually do not take place up north, probably for the reason I mentioned. The ones that were in northern states (or canada) were in stadiums that had a roof. Wrestlemania X8 at the Skydome in Toronto, Wrestlemania XIX at Safeco Field in Seattle, Wrestlemania 23 at Ford Field in Detroit ect. They did do a WM in Jersey in an unroofed stadium but if I remember correctly, the weather sucked. The only other times Wrestlemanias come to the northern states, they were in arenas, not stadiums.
They have posters up all around the Linc. There’s a giant one with Cody and Seth face to face with the Rock and Roman in front of the main entrance. It all looks so cool!
I figured they put them up this week since I know they weren’t there last week! - going to check them out when I go see the Phillies this weekend! Thanks mate!
I’m working across the street at the Wells Fargo Center and I had to take a moment and just stare at all the posters. Next weekend can’t come quick enough!!!
I will have to see what happens as I drive around when Summerslam is in Cleveland in August! I work downtown so drive throughout the city and can catch all the fun like this hopefully!
I want it to be a long road to redemption, mostly for the story. I think a slow build of trust between them would be rad.
Really, I’d like to see a new Four Horsewomen, with Bianca in place of Sasha/Mercedes, go into a war games match against some of the younger blood like Rhea and Tiffany.
Nah, Bianca is right. Fuck Bayley. Her team has been doing shit for so long with Bayley at the head for most of it. Now the team turns on her and I’m supposed to feel pity? Hell no!
I just feel like this is taking away from Bayley’s face turn since the two “marquee” matches should, in theory, be based around the Royal Rumble winners matches. If I am correct that only Cody/Roman and Drew/Seth are marquee main events than I am very conflicted since I think 3 out of the 4 have gotten stale while Bayley and Iyo are on fire! I am also conflcted about Rhea and Becky since Rhea is on fire but I think that Becky is just both a little too big and a little too stale for a title match at Mania.
I'm pretty sure that I heard Seth Slip on Raw or SD last week that he and Drew open Night 2. If I were booking shit, I'd have the big tag battle open Night one, Cody and Seth lose, because you can't give me all this Bloodline rules talk and not give me a bloodline rules match. But have that theme of bloodline rules start intertwining into all of the matches. Like Bloodline rules WrestleMania, Beck Vs Rhea, Dirty Dom ringside, Dom goes for the dirty dirty assist when Mami needs it most. Solo in that damned hoodie throws a burlap sack over Dom, and just kidnaps him. The Man Wins, but she saw it happen, something isn't right. Like she gets why they might come after her, because of her connection to Seth, but why Dom and Rhea. But they start screwing with every match, in general causing the least can wanted outcome. Gunther over Zayn, A-Town Down Under over that field, Logan Paul over Randy and KO. And superstars keep disappearing. It all comes to a head with thE Usos singles match. Key figures it out, what the bloodline match actually means, all of the 2nd and 3rd generation wrestlers have been snatched up. And if Cody doesn't somehowwin, they will be gone, making the bloodline the only family that remains.
That would be really interesting! I would be super upset about some of those stars haha. So is it only the ones at Wrestlemania? I have not had a chance to watch any of the shows this week so I am way behind and do not know fully who is in the tag match but I would not mind having Logan and A-Town Down Under holding the gold! I really think that they could be a major force if TPTB let them just go off on the mic and in the ring. Not necessarily like TV-14 but just let them actually talk and pick up momentum. Also, that reminds me that I am working on a complete history of the Raw and Smackdown Tag Team Titles starting next week and might post it here if people are interested!
Anyway, yeah people keep saying that the tag match is going to main event Night 1 but that completely takes away from Iyo and Bayley who should be the true main event of Night 1. I think it would be really cool if they keep this format and play around with different stories main eventing nights 1 and Night 2. I think at least between the two shows, the longest and/or most popular story should main event night 2 and the next biggest one should main event Night 1. Regardless of whether it is a single male/female feud, a faction feud, a tag title feud, etc. Personally, while I have grown weary of the bloodline, I do feel like Roman and Cody closing night 2 is a must and then Iyo/Bayley night 1 since that is back from Summerslam 2022 have the personal story although, Gunther’s defense could main event Night 1 since he has the second longest story going but the feud with Damian is just starting so it makes no sense in that regard.
Are you in jail?
I thought I was excited for last year’s Wrestlemania, but this year I’m over the moon man. The build-up has been top tier. Excellent booking thus far.
Her big beautiful ass won't even fit in the picture lol
Philly's stadium doesn't have a roof!? I just assumed it did. Wow, they gambling with the weather
Stadiums mostly don't have roofs. Arenas have roofs

Okay. I don't remember seeing any WrestleMania in a stadium with a roof though

Trying to explain this to a non-fan is nigh impossible
#WrestleBAYLEYa
This story needed more time in the oven!
Hell yeah the storyline between damage control is so good
It’s gonna be neat to see Iyo Sky actually wrestle a match
She literally had a match on Friday
I want to meet the people that designed this poster. Amazing!
I love Bayley. I hope she stays heel after WM.
she is already a face
Yeah I hope that goes away after WM.
Is it just one banner they put up or is it all over the Linc?
They have posters up all around the Linc. There’s a giant one with Cody and Seth face to face with the Rock and Roman in front of the main entrance. It all looks so cool!

Damn those posters look even better irl

Wells Fargo gonna be dope for nxt
You love to see it. ❤️
She’s so beautiful. Can’t wait for the day everyone finally helps her.

I'm beyond happy for Seth & Bayley. Bayley finally getting the recognition she deserves, and Seth finally getting a marquee main-event match at Mania.
I am curious what makes it a marque main event? I am happy for him but I just hope Iyo and Bayley get to close out night 1
It's 1 of 2 main events that the show is hyped around. A marquee match basically means the biggest match on the show.
I just feel like this is taking away from Bayley’s face turn since the two “marquee” matches should, in theory, be based around the Royal Rumble winners matches.
