The first topic on this theme is the prestige of WrestleMania main events and whether it&#8217;s in better shape today as a brand compared to 10, 20, and 30 years ago. What makes a match WrestleMania worthy, and has the prestige of main eventing WrestleMania been watered down with multiple nights? They begin with whether there really is more than one &#8220;main event&#8221; spot on WrestleMania weekend. Then they discuss the prestige associated with the show, wondering if main eventing night two is actually more prestigious than a one-night WrestleMania, whether or not the title always needs to go on last, and whether we&#8217;ll see another women&#8217;s match headline the show. The show wraps up by determining what factors make a match worthy of WrestleMania, reminiscing about a few matches that absolutely weren&#8217;t worthy of the show, and signing off after ruling whether the current prestige of Wrestlemania is <i>worse or better <\/i>than in decades past.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FREE VERSION: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/worse-or-better-debut-episode-chase-white-discuss-prestige-of-wrestlemania-main-events-today-compared-to-10-20-30-years-ago--71143026\">AUDIO LINK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>AD-FREE VIP VERSION:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/android\/legacyuploads\/wp-media\/2026\/04\/20260406ADFREEWOB.mp3\">VIP AUDIO LINK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>NOT VIP?
