Before WrestleMania gets stale, WWE should look to its past to infuse some excitement into The Showcase of the Immortals!
Bring Back The WrestleMania Ring Carts
At this year’s Royal Rumble, carts were used to bring down hosses like The Big Show and Braun Strowman to the ring during the 30-man main event. You may not have seen it as the cameras would cut away right before the big fellas got on. This was done for time and so that the wrestlers wouldn’t gas out before entering the ring. As is the case with most stadiums, the walkway entrances tend to be super long.
Instead of using a golf cart or trying to hide the fact that they do this, WWE should really embrace this element like they have in the past. At WrestleMania III and IV (and even WWF Superstars the Arcade), carts shaped like mini-wrestling rings were used to move talent to and from the ring. Seeing WWE Hall of Famers like Hulk Hogan, “Macho Man” Randy Savage and Andre the Giant part the crowds in these mini-rings was glorious! Like something out of a rock concert or a Vegas stage show, the ring carts were a simple yet effective way to add another unique element to the show, while also making the wrestlers appear larger-than-life.
