It's known as "the granddaddy of them all," some call it a spectacle, or simply the biggest show of the year. Wrestlemania began as an idea to compete against other prominent events, such as Starrcade. It has grown into something far greater than anyone could've possibly ever dreamt of.
Last year, over 100,000 fans witnessed history at the largest wrestling related show in the history of the entire existence of the industry. Wrestlemania has continuously outdone itself, year after year and with Wrestlemania 33 set to return to Orlando, there are plans for an even bigger event than last year's.

With other events such as Axxess and the Hall of Fame Ceremony, the entire week leading up to Wrestlemania has turned into a multi-day celebration.
Wrestlemania has been a vital piece of the steady progress and ultimate success that the company has enjoyed for decades.

About the author

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
