While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com stated the following in regards to the WWE WrestleMania 42 card\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything is up in the air. Essentially, the way it was described to me is\u2014and this makes no sense, but this is how I was told\u2014that they\u2019re very disappointed with the advance. It\u2019s down about 18% from last year at the same time. I think they\u2019ll still fill it, but they are disappointed.<\/p>\n
The problem is that they think changing a card that nobody knows\u2014because literally people only know one match\u2014will help. Changing the card isn\u2019t like having a bad card out there and people aren\u2019t buying tickets. If that was the case, sure, think about changing the card. They don\u2019t have a card out there.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s been a lot of internal criticism of Paul Levesque [Triple H], as far as not keeping plans. They keep changing the plans, essentially like Vince. They have a plan, then they change the plan. Right now, everything is up in the air because of the feeling that attendance is down. The advance may be down more because comps are included in that number, and you don\u2019t know how many are comps. WrestleMania isn\u2019t going to have a lot of comps\u2014there will be some for businesses and things\u2014but not a lot. Maybe a few thousand, which is more than a regular show, but still.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meltzer continued\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cI wouldn\u2019t call 36,000 tickets struggling. They\u2019re going to fill it, but they\u2019re not as sure as they used to be. They\u2019ve had worse advances and worse sales in other years. They\u2019ve just gotten used to WrestleMania being an insanely hot ticket the last few years. It\u2019s still a hot ticket considering the prices, but everything is up in the air.<\/p>\n
Even Cody Rhodes and Drew isn\u2019t a sure thing right now. All the other matches aren\u2019t sure things either. The only sure thing is CM Punk and Roman Reigns. That\u2019s not changing, and they have no interest in changing it.\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com stated the following in regards to the WWE…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":375709,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,24049,56,54,55,154033],"class_list":{"0":"post-416420","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-gb","10":"tag-triple-h","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom","13":"tag-unitedkingdom","14":"tag-wrestlemania-42"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/416420","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=416420"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/416420\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/375709"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=416420"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=416420"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=416420"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
