Wrestlemania 2026 in NOLA

The only thing that sucks is that now WWE is with TKO the ticket prices have skyrocketed. Gonna be much more expensive than 30 and 34 were.

Nice event for city not my cup of tea but brings a lot of people to town

And now it's two days and boring

Eh spending 8 hours in the Superdome in 2018 was kind of torture. I'm a wrestling fan but that was to much. I'm glad they split it up

How could they do an 8 hour event? Good lord.

When I watched wrestling in the 2000s I think wrestlemania was like 3-4 hours.

I mean they want to showcase everything across both shows which I respect. Doing all that in one night is insane. Spreading it over two makes much more sense, imo. Hell I can keep track of two 4 hour shows better at home than I can one 8 hour.

I understand that but even the 2 shows is a lot. Basically asking the fans to either pay for both nights or pick one night to attend. I enjoyed going to the event. I just never realized how long it was going to be. I know it is their version of the SuperBowl. I was exhausted.

Man, that back and forth with Cody last night was by far the worst that I’ve ever seen

Has been for a few years. I've never been to a Mania. Plan on going next year, but we'll see.

Minneapolis got screwed for this year's and despite everything that Indy did for them in January, they got completely screwed for next year's. TBF, Vegas stole it from MSP by bribing TKO at the last minute. I wonder how much NOLA spent.

TKO has turned this into UFC events and a annual Super Bowl sized two night event. The prices are insane and are moving towards pricing out the type of fans that made WWF/E what it is. Hell, after Wrestlemania Vince wanted the three biggest markets to host WM2. Wrestling was brought to the people.

Now they are catering to the jetset crowd. I don't know if ticket prices are the reason but Trinidad and Tobago Flag Guy has been MIA since last year. Now unless you're a millionaire it's too expensive for superfans to do what they did for over a decade. Like the change in how they view fans, they've gotten rid of House shows over the past 2 years. At some point they are going to go too far and kill the golden goose. There's a whole generation of fans that they are losing.

This is how all major WWE ppv sites are chosen now. Some local tourism commission pays the WWE to come to their city.
