Philly crowds are usually hot, so maybe that’s something to hope for.

That was an awesome show and I’m sure was even better to be there in person for. I definitely still remember loving it just watching on TV.
Of course, the charm lied in the fact that tens of thousands were collectively joyfully giving a middle finger to Vince McMahon, acting exactly the opposite of how he wished they would act.
With that Vince factor seemingly actually gone for good(?), the collective rebellion (if that’s even what it is anymore; I’m dubious it’s even still that) is not charming. There are few things about wrestling anymore that are more repellent to my potential desire to tune in than the crowds.
But as to WrestleMania itself, I don’t mean to be a wet blanket. I’m looking forward to this, and I agree Philly is a better location than most (though Mania is such a destination anymore that the specific city does mean somewhat less).
