BasicThuganomics does not have that much rep yet (10+)
So how is that compared to the buyrate of WM17 which i believe was the highest buyrate of all time?

17 did about 950k buys, but with preliminary reporting the way it is, XX could wind up besting that number, althought it would seem more likely that it will come in right around 900K buys.

17 also did 42.5 mil in revenues, so with the increased price, this year's Mania will beat that number making it the most money making show of all time.

Hey they did a helluva job with the year-long promotion, so its well deserved. Considering they really didn't have that big money match that they had with Manias 17 or 18 it shows that the name "Wrestlemania XX" is what really drew in the people.

Next year's Mania might be a tough sell though, depending what they can get for the show.

With the price of the PPV being higher this year though, WM XX will draw in more PPV revenue than 17 did. I thought it would do well but this not well so fair play to them.

Remember, they did spend over $5 million in advertising before hand so that cuts into the profit.

Yeah, but it's all about spin.
