Wrestlemania 36 Review: Night Two

Final Thoughts

WrestleMania 36 proves once again, that when backed into a corner, WWE can pull out a rabbit from their magic hat. The company's creative went overdrive into not only giving to most of their pure pro-wrestling matches, but also crafted some very innovative cinematic experiences.

There will be naysayers and divisive reactions to the two big movie matches. Yet the truth is, both those contests did more than the best they could with the current circumstances. Done right, cinematic pro wrestling can be a unique way to finally evolve the filmmaking language of pro-wrestling. This is truly what WWE and wrestling mean when they say sports-entertained.

Finally, WWE also managed to stumble onto something that could help WrestleMania going forward. This, of course, is the splitting of the massive card into two nights, not only did it give time and space to each match, it kept it toned down in structure and poetically both nights mirrored each other. On a personal note, considering what the world is going through, fans needed this, and we are thankful to WWE.
