I remember last year after Mania and Street Jimmy was pissing on the Wrestlemania buys even though it was like record-breaking money they made.

Oh well. As a now super-casual fan I can say honestly I had no interest in watching Cena VS. Rock 2 (Twice in a lifetime), Triple H VS. Lesnar, or anything else on the match. Well, not completely true, kinda wanted to see Punk VS. Taker, but only because I liked their last PPV match together.

I wasn't really sold on the Wrestlemania before this, but I think I watched it online illegally or at least part of it. I know the Mania before that with Cena VS. The Miz had me interested and wanting to watch, but I was at sea so I didn't get to check it out. Was happy when The Miz won.

No surprise the buyrate is reportedly lower than expected. WWE kinda "mailed it in" this year, they didn't go all-out with the build-ups like they usually do.

The main build-up we saw was for the Punk/Taker match, it started off somewhat "late" and just revolved around Paul Bearer's death. Rock wasn't around that much compared to the previous year, his match with Cena was a rematch.

It just wasn't a good lead-up to the company's biggest show of the year. The "Road to WrestleMania" wasn't what we're used to seeing.

You realise this has already been shot down by the numbers, right? It seems that WWE can mail it in and still make more money than last year.

I wonder if the WWE will go all-out at WrestleMania next year, or if this will be a signal to them that they can "phone it in" and just go with rematches? The Rock vs. Brock Lesnar is rumored to be happening, and while I've got no interest in the match, I'm sure that will be good for the WWE's purse.

WWE released the official preliminary buyrates for Wrestlemania 29. Still breaks the record in regards to money made but won't break the buyrate record from last year.

Depending on the final numbers it can go as high as 3rd best (1.1) and as low as 5th best (1.5) for all-time.

WWE did not include numbers for international and domestic breakdowns. Although this number is slightly down from Wrestlemania 28 in terms of total buys, it is likely that it will still be the highest grossing due to the increased PPV price, more places to watch the event, etc.

The final PPV buy total will be released sometime in August. Look for WWE to tout their success and round the total buys to about 1.1 million.

I watched WM29 on my X-Box and had no problems whatsoever. I love the service especially since my cable company doesn't offer the HD feed of PPVs.
