WrestleMania 27 In 3D?
If you read anything on this site it is usually tinged with heavy sarcasm but this is not one of those posts. According to Prowrestling.net, WWE is entertaining the possibility of putting WrestleMania 27 in move theatres in 3D. This is possibly the best idea WWE has had since the original idea of WrestleMania. The large screen format totally suits WWE’s product and the enhancement of 3D viewing is ridiculously wonderful. 3D will give the PPV the proper scope that the live audience gets. After sitting at the top of the Citrus Bowl and the far flung end of the floor in Ford Field the idea that you may actually get this perspective in the comfort of leather bound seats or if you are poor, the stanky old turquoise mesh seats with crusty cup holders, is enticing. If we aren’t already going to the event live this is where I would be with bells on.
It also allows a movie going audience the opportunity to feel as if they are part of it. This is a sensation you just don’t get from a 21” shitty model television connected to a vcr. This could be an immersive experience that could enhance WWE’s business. If this is successful you have to believe they may open up to the idea of having Summerslam or another of the bigger PPV’s on the big screen. WWE needs to make this happen. Fathom broadcasts the opera and other boring shit like that so why not wrestling? -Jeremy
WWE is thankful Jeremy did this one instead of me, because I think it’s a stupid idea.
Agreed. I would much rather watch WrestleMania in the comfort of my own house (or the Georgia Dome) than in the confines of a sticky movie theater with a bunch of goobers yelling shit and throwing things at the screen, all while Mae Young inevitably thrusts her three-dimensional 90-year-old crotch in my face in a skit with Gene Okerlund and Dusty Rhodes. -E
I like the 2nd row guy eating pizza in the stock photo.
Tickets will be like $70 and 3D anything usually sucks balls. I’m staying with non HD 2D wrasslin.
