• WrestleMania 35 Reportedly A “Logistical Nightmare” For WWE Officials
WrestleVotes recently reported that preparations for this year’s WrestleMania 35 event haven’t been easy:
Heard from multiple people inside WWE that this WrestleMania, the preparation & execution has been a logistical nightmare. Travel, hotel & scheduling wise this years event has caused the most headache. I’d be surprise to see WM return to NY/NJ within 6 years like it did this time
