News on a huge change to WrestleMania

[AKI Man]

<blockquote class='quote\\_blockquote'><dl><dt>Quote:</dt><dd> </dd></dl><div> 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.[/quote]

That seems silly to not number them.

It may have something to do with how ridicules they start to look after 30. I mean 32 would look like "XXXII." It probably would take up a lot more room on a lot of there print work.

Vince is 70 in August, probably doesn't want to be reminded how old he is.

I see humor in how they decide to not us Roman numerals when Roman Reigns will probably be a important factor of WrestleMania.


Edit: with logo designs they could write it


WrestleMania
XXX
I

Hell the SuperBowl is doing fine with Roman Numerals and its on number 49 (XLIX) next week.

That's dumb for Vince to say that because the Super Bowl has gone to 49 and the numbers never get old
Besides in my opinion Wrestlemania Numbers has always been screwed up(From Roman numbers to regular numbers to just none)

They've switched between numbers and roman numerals for decades now. They're trying something modern/new, which I can applaud them for... just as long as it isn't whatever the hell X-Seven and X-8 were... just don't do that again.

Wrestlemania 2K16. Just wait. That's what it is going to be called.

 

[KG 24]

As long as it isn't called WrestleMania XXX+One+1, I'm good.
