WWE is about to descend on East Rutherford, N.J. as WrestleMania 35 takes place at MetLife Stadium. The sports entertainment superpower previously held its flagship event at MetLife for WrestleMania 29 in 2013.
The card is expected to feature as many as 17 (!) matches, which is a concern for “Wrestling Inside The Ropes” host and “Felger & Mazz” producer I saw something that Wrestlemania is scheduled on the network from 5pm (pre show) until 12:30am... I love @WWE but you're asking way to much of us. The show doesn't need to be 7 1/2 hours. Cut 17 matches down to 10 or 12 and let's have a strong 4 hour show and be done by 11.
“J-Stew” is nonetheless going to have his eyes glued to the action on Sunday from start to finish, along with “WITR” co-host Mike “Sarge” Riley. They both have official winner picks to hand out for every match on the WrestleMania 35 card, along with some other bold predictions.
