WrestleMania 3D
 

From: http://chicagoindiepress.com/1352/na...ovie-theaters/

Pro-wrestling may be coming to a theater near you. WWE brass has been discussions with movie theater event company Fathom Events to bring Wrestlemania 27 to theaters across the nation…in 3D.

Though the news is purely at the rumor stage, WWE discussions with Fathom are ongoing as each company haggles over revenue. WWE wants 47% of Pay-Per-View (PPV) revenue while Fathom wants a larger cut of the action. WWE also wants a reported 60-70% of revenue from theaters as well.

Fathom has aired specials in theaters such as New York’s Metropolitan Opera, Riff Trax movies from the makers of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and more political-skewed entertainment from the likes of Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck.

With the launch of the ESPN 3D network, many wondered how long it would be before 3D technology at home would really take off. Well despite some 3D World Cup matches, 3D home entertainment and the sale of 3D TVs have been lackluster. Many point to the cost of the sets while others say they’ll wait for glasses-free 3D sets to arrive.

While 3D at home is still lagging, 3D at the movie theater is booming.

So what, about $100 bucks a ticket? HD is $70 as it is for wrestlemania.

Seeing it in 3D in a possibly crowded theatre might be fun though. We have a fathom capable theatre here too, but they wont do Glenn Beck's shows for some reason.

John Cena overcomes the odds in 3D!

Seriously though, Money in the Bank could be pretty sweet in 3D if done right. I can see guys flying over the top rope off a ladder and into the camera all 3D style.

Also, nothing wrong with Maryse in 3D.

I can imagine WWE hyping this to the moon...

WRESTLEMANIA 27! IN 3D!

wow

The whole 3D fad is getting ridiculous now.

Not sure, but I think this would require them bringing in like a whole crap load of equipment, possibly a whole different production truck (or two), not to mention people who actually know how to work the equipment.

Unless it isn't live or something. If it isn't live, then they can probably just convert to 3D afterwards.

never experienced 3DTV yet..... not sure I want to waste a c-note to find out......

I never seen a 3D movie in theaters nor can I recall paying for a WWE PPV but if I didn't have to go out my way to find a theater and it was like 20 bucks, I would think about going.

3D really isn't that good, in fact I'd go as far as to say it's actually fucking shit.

I watched Saw3D... 3D isn't all that it's made out to be. This would be interesting... but the ticket price for it... definitely would not be worth it.

Plus you'd have to wear those fuck off uncomfortable glasses for about four hours straight.

If the presentation is any good, it will be around come Wrestlemania 28. If it sticks around and I hear good things, I'd give it a chance then. But I don't think I'd go into it this year knowing nothing.

Seeing it with a huge crowd would also be fun, of course.

I loved that RAW theme. It brings back memories of the best "era" of RAW from 2002-2005.

WHY!!?? WHY Did you do this to me? now im sad, that video in my eyes is THE ONLY PERFECT THING THAT WWE HAS DONE , I miss that song, that intro video & JR's perfect welcoming to RAW :'(

was that also the first time they used the new theme plus the new RAW set?

No, that was like a month prior. What sucked for WWE was they had just debuted the new WWF Championship and new logo for WWF RAW. Now, they had to get a new belt made and chop the F off of everything and fuck up their production of DVDs and stuff. There are several instances of "WWE" logos on packaging but the actual product is still "WWF".
