WrestleMania is too fucking expensive, Vince. Get that through your head. Only your wrestling fans are going to pay $55-$60 for your "showcase of the immortals," but when you're talking about amassing a buyrate considerably larger than your usual wrestling fan base, you need to make both the product and the price reasonable enough for them to make the purchase. Cena/HHH/Orton and Undertaker/Edge weren't exactly the greatest, and Big Show/Mayweather obviously wasn't the key. HBK/Flair was only a draw for wrestling fans - not exactly geared for the casual fan.
Still, the title alone, "WRESTLEMANIA!" carries quite a bit of star power with it. The problem is in the jacked up price for the show. Most people would probably rather spend that $55-60 on a new game for their 360 or PS3, or to fill up their gas tank. It's too much money. $35-45 is a much more reasonable number, and would probably pull in a lot more buys.
