Getting the Lowdown on WrestleMania Kick-off
Alright, so WrestleMania season is upon us again. Like clockwork every year, I get that itch, gotta know when the action starts. Planning the snacks, maybe having folks over, or just clearing my schedule – knowing the exact start time is key. Can’t just guess these things.
So, first thing I did, grabbed my laptop. Opened up a browser and just typed in the basics: “wrestlemania start time”. Simple enough, right? You’d think. What popped up was a whole mess of times. Different sites, different articles, some talking about last year’s event even.
The big headache? Time zones. Seriously, it’s always the time zones. I see times listed in ET, PT, BST… you name it. Trying to figure out what that means for me, sitting right here in my living room, takes a minute. Don’t want to tune in an hour late or, maybe worse, an hour early and just catch the tail end of some talk show.
And then there’s the Kickoff Show. Almost every result mentioned it. Usually starts an hour, sometimes two, before the real show. Gotta pay attention to that detail. Almost got tripped up by that once, thinking the Kickoff was the main event start. Learned my lesson there.
Checking the Official Source
After wading through the search results, I figured, let’s cut the noise. Went straight to the source. Pulled up the official WWE website. You usually have to poke around a bit, find their ‘Shows’ or ‘Events’ section. It’s not always front and center.
Found the page for WrestleMania. Took a second to load, lots of graphics and stuff. Scrolled down past the match cards and hype videos. And boom, there it usually is, in reasonably clear print. They almost always list it in Eastern Time (ET). Okay, progress.
- Navigated the official site.
- Found the specific WrestleMania event page.
- Located the date and time info.
- Confirmed the main show start time (usually in ET).
- Noted the separate Kickoff Show time.
I sometimes check their Twitter or Facebook too. They might post a nice little graphic showing start times across different parts of the world. Didn’t see one right away this time, but the website felt reliable enough.
The Final Confirmation
Got the official ET start time. Next step: convert that sucker to my local time. Quick search for a time zone converter, punched in the ET time, selected my zone. Done. Double-checked it, just to be paranoid. Don’t want any slip-ups on the big night.
Super important detail: WrestleMania is often a two-night thing now. Saturday and Sunday. Had to specifically check if the start time was the same for both nights. Went back to the official page, checked the details for Night 1 and Night 2. Looks like they are keeping it consistent this year, same start time for the main card both evenings. Good.
So, yeah, that’s basically my little ritual for figuring out the WrestleMania start time. A bit of digging, filtering out the noise, double-checking the official details, and converting the time zone. Now I’m all set. Know exactly when to be parked on the couch, ready for the bell rings. Should be a good one.
