April 2 marked the ninth anniversary of WrestleMania 33, where Roman Reigns became only the second man ever to defeat The Undertaker on WWE’s “Grandest Stage of Them All.”
While that night still stirs bad feelings for many fans, it disappointed another spectator for entirely different reasons.
On X, fan Pete Lynch shared less than fond memories, as much of the action was blocked by WWE’s massive stage.
Lynch wrote that he had “what I thought would be the best seats ever to WrestleMania and ended up with the worst seats ever to WrestleMania.” He included two pictures from where he was seated, and his view was far from ideal.
From the images he provided, all Lynch could see was the WrestleMania globe atop the stage. The ring itself was obstructed behind the high ramp, leaving him to watch the action on the screen above it.
“Directly on the entrance ramp is normally awesome, unless [it’s] 30 feet high and blocks almost the entire ring,” Lynch added in his post. He also tagged WWE, saying it “still never made it right.”
Lynch wasn’t the only fan with issues that night. Spectators in others sections of Orlando’s Camping World Stadium had to contend with lighting issues that kept them from enjoying the show.
In an article written for Cageside Seats, Julie Simon wrote:
“Looking around the stadium, apparently many of the sections were blinded by blue and orange lights. Eventually, one of the lights dimmed in my section – but the other one continued to blind us for the remainder of the night.”
Simon added that chants of “We can’t see” and “Turn off the lights” broke out during the Raw Women’s Championship match.
However, not everyone who attended WrestleMania 33 had a negative experience. In response to Lynch’s post, one fan replied, “I was first row of upper deck, was a great place to be!”
While nothing beats being at an event live, the experience can quickly turn sour due to poor seating. Given the high cost of tickets for WWE’s premium live events, it seems that the best seat is at home. Still, for those who clamor for the live experience, watching the action at a movie theater may be the next best thing.
