• Tony Khan Comments On WrestleMania 37 Weather Issues
WrestleMania 37 faced weather issues before the show began and after the main show began.
As a matter of fact, the main show got stopped due to rain as soon as it began.
AEW President Tony Khan tweeted the following about this situation:
“On Wednesday Nov. 11, sideways rain was blowing in, our elevated ring wasn’t affected but I felt the ringside mats were slippery & unsafe.
10 minutes to showtime I had a lightbulb idea to lay down carpet at ringside & remembered we had a Red Carpet. It totally solved the problem.
The crew chopped up the red carpet and were still laying it down at 8:02pm as the Live show started. The first match was Brian Cage vs. Matt Sydal. I asked Taz to go out and do an opening promo and stretch so we could shoot him close-up while the crew was putting the carpet down.
Also I’m not trolling anyone, I just think it’s a safe approach that I thought would be worth mentioning.
It occurred to me last minute too, and it would’ve tremendously affected the matches that night if I hadn’t done it, + it potentially prevented some injuries from occurring.”
