Ok so your explanation for the facts are: in 1988, the Wrestlemania right after the build up SNME that was the single most watched wrestling program in history with a rating over 15, and the Wrestlemania right after one that drew 90,000 people, couldn't draw, so they had it in a small venue that year.
Later, during the 1998-2000 peak, the WWE couldn't draw with Stone Cold and the Rock at their peaks. So they had to have Wrestlemania at smaller arenas.
Whether the truth makes sense to you or not, it is the truth. During years WWF could have drawn huge crowds in huge arenas, they instead had it in smaller arenas.
