Wrestlemania 30 wants its gimmick back.



Wrestlemania 30 was actually entertaining. Wrestlemania "Play button" is shaping up to be a dud..

if you don't get the reference:

- WWE is reportedly no longer branding WrestleMania with numbers, at least with the logo. Instead, symbols are being used to distinguish each event.

It was announced last week that WrestleMania will come to AT&T Stadium in Texas on April 3, 2016 and "32" is nowhere to be seen on the logo. It instead features a star to represent the "Lone Star State." On top of that, the logo for this year's WrestleMania features a "Play" button. to represent Silicon Valley, which is near Levi's Stadium, in Santa Clara, California.

This is according to Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com, who said on Wrestling Observer Radio today that the events are no longer being branded with numbers "because Vince [McMahon] thinks it makes it sound too old."

This is stupid. WM is all about tradition. They need to stop showing highlights of Hogan slamming Andre and Macho Man dropping the elbow on Steamboat if they're worried about people thinking its too old.

That just might be the dumbest thing Vince has ever come up with.

Future conversations will no doubt go like this:

"Hey, man you remember WrestleMania '15?"

"Oh yeah, what a great match Austin/Rock was!"

"No, no, no. I'm talking about that WrestleMania in Santa Clara with that awful main event that had Roman Reigns"

Under no circumstance is it a good idea to brand your headline event with an unpronounceable symbol
