Huge Wrestlemania Buyrate

**The CyNick** · 04-25-2005, 10:11 PM

I would probably give HHH-Batista the most credit for the buyrate, but JBL-Cena, Angle-HBK and Piper-Austin got just as much hype as the World Title match. So its hard to accurately give credit to just one of them.

However, unlike last year where I thought HHH-Benoit and HBK had very little to do with the number, I would say its fair to give HUnter and Batista credit for this show. But as I said, 3 other matches were pushed just as hard.

I'm quite shocked it was that high, usually the number goes up, so this could wind up being the most watched Mania of all time. But I was thinking they would have a tough time breaking 700,000 buys (thats why I'm not in Vegas), but it looks like they peaked at the right time.

It'll be interesting to see how Backlash does coming off the heels of Mania.
