Interesting fact about WM16

**BigCrippyZ** · 07-19-2011, 10:19 AM

According to the corporate WWE website, in April 2000, more than a million fans purchased WrestleMania 16, at the time making it the most watched non-boxing event in pay-per-view history.

I was not aware of this and I was a little shocked when I read this. For as much as it is perceived negatively overall as a WM card today by some, I remember ordering it and being SO excited for it. It obviously did well at the time and I remember the hype for it was huge.

Just thought this was an interesting bit of info. Any thoughts on why it did so well and still is sometimes viewed negatively by some today?
