Who could realistically get the WWE the biggest buyrate for WrestleMania?
Hogan, Austin, Rock, Sting etc would give the WWE a boost for the WM buyrate but the biggest buyrate came for WrestleMania 23 which I think was boosted a lot by Donald Trump's involvement. So what single person could give the WWE the biggest possible buyrate by wrestling a match or even just being involved in some way?
Please be somewhat realistic so it can't be someone like Barack Obama. I'm thinking either a sports figure or a Hollywood a-lister. Kobe Bryant? Johnny Depp? Eminem vs Cena? And how would they be involved and if its in a match against who?

Eminem vs Cena actually might draw pretty huge...

Definitely not Kobe Bryant. Hell, Shaq would draw better and he might actually be at this year's WM.
Also, if they were to actually have Jim Carrey host Raw or something and re-hashed that mini feud they had during the Man on the Moon filming into a Kaufman-esque feud with Jerry Lawler leading to a match at WM, that would raise the buyrate like the dickens. |

Sting would not draw a big buy rate.
At all. |

Undertaker vs Cena with a Cena Heel Turn. I don't know why they waste him with Rock. It will be probably Takers Last Mania Match with 20-0.

They could get a huge buyrate from Brock Lesnar vs. The Undertaker.

or even better, Will Smith vs The Rock in a cool black guy contest. Samuel L Jackson as the ref.

A mini Justin Bieber concert in the middle of the show would definitely break all records.

Tupac should return live at Wrestlemania. And if it can be more than one person, he should bring Kurt Cobain and Jim Morrison.
.... I wouldn't have guess Trump would be the big factor he was. I mean, I know he had a show, I know that mouthbreathers still treat him like he's relevant, but that was effin' HUGE. I do want to see Beiber show up on Raw (or Mania), so we can get dueling chants of "let's go Beiber!/Beiber sucks!" |

Stone Cold vs CM Punk would probably be the WM that would bring in the most money in history.

You think so? I don't think it would draw more than Rock vs Cena since Rock has more mainstream drawing power than Austin. I'm thinking the people who said Justin Bieber are actually probably right lol

The Rock is probably the last guy who can bump it significantly on his own, to be honest. A celebrity like Justin Beiber singing or even wrestling isn't going to bump it much, if at all, especially if you consider it's $55.
I think there are combinations of people who could bump it by a large amount, but for single guys, Rock is it. It wouldn't have mattered what he did, and last year proved that. I honestly believe he pulled in 200k minimum simply because he was on the show. Lesnar's probably second, but he's situation dependent. He would need to wrestle someone who could be taken as a legit bad ass like Taker. |
