It's not the 25th anniversary of Wrestlemania
That's next year. This is really bothering me.... to the point where I have to complain about it on the internet.

This is bad news for all those people who are so happy that they were the first ones to prepare their WrestleMania 25th anniversary party for '09.
Whilst here I am, with the hotel already booked for the real party in '10. Who's laughing now???!!!???!!! |

Definition of Anniversary-
the date on which an event occurred in some previous year (or the celebration of it) You could take the first Mania to be a celebration of Wrestling... So technically it could be considered an anniversary, but when it comes to Mania itself, you have a valid point. I bet it was Michael Cole's Idea. |

Whatever, it's still the 25th one, and that a big deal.

It is the 25th edition, though if you go by calender years, Wrestlemania has only existed for 24 years. Lol whatever.

I"m sure they're aware of this too. It's simply because it's easier to call the 25th one the 25th anniversary. Doesn't really matter.

How do you know that WrestleMania's plans weren't already in motion in March of 1984? If that's true, it's technically correct.

25 years is a silver anniversary. No one gives a shit about the number 26, so no one cares about the scientific definition of the 25th anniversary. It is the the 25th one, and it is an anniversary.
Wasn't 2001 meant to be the technical new millenium? Yeah, people gave a massive shit about that. |

You'd better go tell all the old people celebrating their 50th wedding anniversaries that they're gonna need to make sure to make sure to take their Metamucil in order to see their actual 50th anniversary.

It's not Chairmanual. That is why they made it "Chairman." "Chairmanual" sounds stupid. It is someone in the chair who manually operates a meeting. It stems from tenth century England, when someone would be the only one seated in a chair, while everyone else had benches. This chair represented authority.
I've also heard that it is someone who "manages" the chair. Either way, it's not inherently meant to be a gender-specific term. But still, people take it as such. The point it that people give their own meaning to things. By all laws and logic, "LOL" shouldn't mean a damn thing, but pretty soon it'll be in the dictionary (if it's already not). |

Maybe the gender-bias is in the word "manage."

Again, so pointless. The new millenium technically began in 2001, but you didn't see the whole world complaining. Sometimes it's just easier to celebrate things at certain times. Celebrating the 25th anniversary at the 25th wrestlemania just makes sense, even if it's only the 24th.
It's more lame sounding to celebrate the 25th anniversary at Wrestlemania 26. The only meaning it holds is that which the fans and company place on it. It doesn't have to be science. You ever celebrate a birthday on a friday, or on the same day as another friends, just because it makes sense and it's easier? Last edited by Jeritron; 02-18-2009 at 10:04 PM. |

It's kind of like getting pissed off about Wrestlemania 16 being referred to as Wrestlemania 2000.
