![]() The New Day, Ryback, Zack Ryder, Emma, The Miz, The Dudley Boyz and Finn Balor all want the glory for themselvesīut plenty think others are more deserving, too. This year, GamesRadar spoke with more than 20 superstars, and many of them – as you’d expect – staked a claim for why they (or the man they’re advocating, in the case of Paul Heyman) should be on the cover. The row over the WWE 2K17 cover has begun Yet that didn’t stop plenty of people showing up with briefcases in tow, who were promptly turned away and forced to return to their cars to drop it off – or leave it behind. Instead, it’s stadium policy to not allow certain bag types, or indeed any briefcases, through the security checkpoints. We actually spotted some on sale at stands inside the arenas this weekend. Though Roman Reigns was struck by a briefcase thrown by a fan during a show in August, it doesn’t appear as if the briefcase was barred to avoid a repeat situation. However, it came with a stipulation: the briefcase was banned from the AT&T Stadium and WrestleMania itself. It’s okay John – we’re fine with not seeing you if this is what you look like.įans at Axxess could buy themselves a replica of the golden Money In The Bank briefcase – used by WWE superstars to ‘cash-in’ a contract for an instant WWE Heavyweight Championship match – for $75. Absolutely nothing could have prepared me for the shock of coming face to face with what can only be described as a John Cena death mask. ![]() The main offender? It was nestled at the back of the WWE Superstore. Not every shirt design was a classic, and Brock Lesnar’s POP! Funko figure looked remarkably like a giant baby. Painter Rob Schamberger began as a fan of WWE, but now he’s billed as “The Artist Of Champions” and his stand showcased some of the brilliant work available at the WWE Shop.Īwesome merchandise doesn’t mean it’s a total slam dunk for the WWE crew, though. However, the highlight of the official WWE merchandise options was found outside of the Superstore. Entire stands of WWE POP! Funko figures proved popular – the Ultimate Warrior’s amazing figure is our pick of the bunch, while those with wallets to rival Shane O’Mac could splash out hundreds of dollars on full-sized replica belts and signed paraphernalia If you’re wondering why fans kept chanting “ten” over and over, it’s because the screen was late with this particular prompt.įrom RustleMania Ranch shirts (depicting the biggest superstars as cartoon bulls) to boxes of BootyO’s (see later), the Axxess Superstore continues to improve more and more every year. And during the Lesnar/Ambrose match, the screen kept count of the number of suplexes. Whenever Charlotte Flair went for the Figure-Four or the Figure-Eight in her triple threat bout for the new WWE Women’s Championship, a “Woooooooo!” appeared on-screen. But at WrestleMania 32, WWE tried taking a leaf out of some American sports teams’ playbooks to spark certain chants during specific points of matches.ĭuring The New Day’s battle against The League Of Nations, the big screens hanging above the ring encouraged the audience to start the “New Day Rocks” chants, though the smark-heavy crowd didn’t want to play along. WWE even uses its own applause prompts during its annual Hall Of Fame ceremony, held the night before WrestleMania, to indicate the end of video packages for the crowd for smooth transitions in and out of speeches. “Applause” signs are nothing new to TV – they’re staples of studio shows from decades back. WWE wanted to dictate the crowd’s involvement There’s much more to the wrestling-packed weekend than what you’ll find on TV, however, which is why I scoured the city and talked with some of the biggest superstars in the business to bring you the ins and outs of the WrestleMania weekend that you don’t get to see from your sofa.
