Chris Jericho Reveals Why Vince McMahon Dropped Numbers From WrestleMania

Chris Jericho discussed various topics on a recent edition of his podcast; Talk is Jericho.

Jericho has done it all under the sports entertainment banner.

It’s safe to say that his opinion should be taken into consideration as he’s one of the biggest stars that has ever been created in pro wrestling. During the podcast, he explained why WWE Chairman Vince McMahon made the decision to drop numbers from WrestleMania.

For example, although the media adds the numbers to the name of the event, the WWE just references it as WrestleMania instead of this year’s WrestleMania 34.

“The reason why, and everybody at home, is that Vince does not like the numbers after the WrestleMania because he feels like it dates it.” Jericho explained, “also, you’re not allowed to call it ‘The Grandaddy Of Them All’ because he feels that it makes it seem old. So yeah, Super Bowl 75, he does not like the number, so you cannot refer to it as ‘WrestleMania 34’. You just refer to it as ‘WrestleMania’. One of those classic Vince McMahon quirks.”
