only to 38--comment not by me
WrestleMania 2 - 319,000.
WrestleMania III - 450,000 (Closed Circuit Television) and another 400,000 on PPV (Andre and hulk)
WrestleMania IV - 175,000 (Closed Circuit Television) ( decrease) uncertainty with the wrestlemania 4 tournament.
WrestleMania V - 767,000, Mega powers take credit for this one.
WrestleMania VI - 550,000 (decrease) people didn’t like the fact that it was babyface vs babyface.
WrestleMania VII - 400,000. (Decrease)
WrestleMania VIII - 360,000. Savages star power was dwindling, hogan and sid was a bad main event.
WrestleMania IX - 430,000. (Increase)
Bret vs Yokozuna was a refreshing Matchup, also raw debuted this year so I guess that had something to do with the increase as well.
WrestleMania X - 420,000. Not too bad just a tad below wm 9.
WrestleMania XI - 340,000. (Decrease) Business was bad, bam bam vs Lawrence wasn’t an attractive main event, diesel as champion wasn’t a draw,
WrestleMania XII - 290,000 terrible undercard, people didn’t Know what they were going to get with Bret and Shawn.
WrestleMania 13 - 237,000 (Lowest Buyrate Record) sid and undertaker wasn’t an attractive main event.
WrestleMania XIV - 730,000 business was getting hot. Austin’s rise + mike Tyson helped alot.
WrestleMania XV - 800,000, business stays hot.
WrestleMania 2000 - 824,000 increase for sure, but somewhat of a dissapointing number considering how successful the company was in 2000. I don’t think people cared to see a fatal 4 way, people wanted just hhh vs rock. Also Austin’s absence probably hurt this some.
WrestleMania X-Seven - 1,040,000 obviously Austin and rock, obviously.
WrestleMania X8 - 880,000 huge decrease. Jericho and hhh bulidup sucked, rock and hogan didn’t have alot of buildup. Invasion turned alot of people away.
WrestleMania XIX - 560,000 even bigger decrease. Smackdown was constantly getting preeumpted at the time due to reasons idk.. so many were missing Smackdown, also chicken crapheels don’t draw money. Angle was playing a chicken crapheel in his feud with Brock by always trying to get out of the match,
WrestleMania XX - 1,007,000 Huge increase, people wanted to see Eddie and beniot,
WrestleMania 21 - 1,085,000 angle/hbk, cena was still popular with alot of the hardcore fans, Batista and triple h had a great bulidup.
WrestleMania 22 - 975,000. Not as good as 21. But still not bad, alot of the diehard fans were still supporting the product.
WrestleMania 23 - 1,250,000 (Former Highest Buyrate Record) trump trump trump!! But also Cena/hbk. Give Cena credit his buyrates have been pretty good.
WrestleMania XXIV - 1,041,000. Ric Flair fans wanted to see his last match.
WrestleMania XXV - 960,000. Orton and triple h had been done to death, the undercard was weak,
WrestleMania XXVI - 885,000. Batista and Cena had already been done before, some people didn’t want to see hbk vs undertaker again.
WrestleMania XXVII - 1,042,000 (the rock) obviously him hosting had a massive effect on this. Even though the card was awful.
WrestleMania XXVIII - 1,300,000 (Highest Buyrate Record) obviously gotta give credit to rock and cena. You had everybody from all eras ordering this show,
Wm 29. 1,048,000. Lack of interest in rock vs Cena rematch, Brock and triple h had already been done.
Wm 30. 690,000. (Huge decrease) Cena and Wyatt was too predictable, fans were still angry that punk walked out, Batista and orton were main eventing, even though it worked out for the better because Bryan ended up winning the title I think alot were hesitant as to wether the company was going to give Bryan his moment.
Wm 31. 259,000 (huge decrease) Roman in the main event definitely hurt this. Fans wanted Daniel Bryan and when they didn’t get that people turned away.
