What does an empty-arena WrestleMania mean for fans?
Eighteen years ago—almost to the day—more than 60,000 people packed the SkyDome in Toronto for WrestleMania 18.
The show will forever be known for its showdown between Hulk Hogan and The Rock, which generated an incredible response from the sell-out crowd.
It is impossible to imagine that match taking place in an empty arena.
This year’s WrestleMania will take place as advertised, but no longer at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.
