5 changes WWE need to make to ensure WrestleMania at the Performance Center is successful

#2 No arena mics

Will Mania need to be mic-less?

If the idea of staging WrestleMania without hard cams, as per my earlier suggestion, may prove problematic yet necessary, this next thought will likely trigger chaos.

In my view, the show should go on without the use of any arena microphones. That may seem completely crackers, when you consider that, for as long as any of us have been watching wrestling, Superstars have been grabbing the mic to let people know their thoughts and deliver those all-important promos. Unfortunately, though, I believe it is almost a must.

This is no criticism of RAW or SmackDown recently – let’s be honest, this whole situation is truly unique, and how can any of us say how such massive shows should and shouldn’t be constructed. Purely in my view, though, the use of mics in an empty arena environment only serves to take away from a new kind of authenticity that WWE will need to establish while they’re at the PC.

There are no fans in the arena, so there is literally no need to amplify your voice. Sure, mic them up individually in the way any studio television show would do for their guests, but leave the stick mics at home. Sit talent somewhere else and have them deliver their promos in a different style and setting.
