Yeah but CM Punk left on Monday night never to return again like last time he left. He'll be headlining OCW soon.

Slik is posting it, so it's probably false.
On the other hand, I wouldn't be shocked if this was true. |

It was a card of rematches with little to no build for any of them, they deserve a low buyrate.

We've all talked about the idea that "WrestleMania sells itself" and I think WWE really believed that going into this year. I think WrestleMania will always sell a shitload of tickets, but I think it is harder than ever to get most people to spend $70 on a wrestling show.

Well I guess they know what they need to do for next year then. Bring back more older guys part time!

It's a bit premature, the buyrate's not even out yet but if it is true I guess the novelty value of The Rock returning has worn off a bit.

It'll just get worse unless they get serious about creating new stars, 'Mania will always attract a better than average buy rate but they can't rely on part timers to generate a buzz year in year out.

I know what happened. HHH promo on the Raw before Wrestlemania put everybody to sleep and they didn't wake up until Wrestlemania was over.

CM Punk/Taker and Lesnar/HHH was the only good thing about WM29, the show was mediocre and the card sucked.

Too many rematches. When they knew Rock-Cena II was happening should have gone with fresh matches on under card.

Not surprised if it's true. Shit build, shit card. Think they relied too much on it being in New York City that it would automatically sell. And I don't remember anyone crying for a Rock/Cena and Triple H/Lesnar rematch, yet they just did it anyway. They got lazy as hell this year and I hope this is a wake up call.

Would be surprised if it drops under a million or high 900,000s but can see the domestic buys being pretty low considering how poorly the overall build for Mania was this year.
Could see a drop in stream buys for future ppvs and maybe the next Mania because of how poor the service was for this year's Mania. |

RAW was a better show than mania. Should of done a couple of things they did on RAW on mania. I think it also suffers massively for not having the MITB match

The WWE.com stream stopped working shortly after the pre-show ended and was down either for most of the ppv or all of it. Think there were also problems when people tried to contact customer support and quick refunds.

Part of the issue with Mania was that the outcome of the Main Event was known the second Ryback went over the top rope at the Royal Rumble.
I think a Ryback/Punk Main Event with Ryback FINALLY getting his big win would have been more interesting. |

reports are 1.2m buys (set to be 3rd all time behind XXVIII and 23), $72m gross (#1 all time). "Downright shocking".

If it wasn't for me, they would only have had 1,199,999 buys.

I wonder how many buys they got off of WWE.com/Xbox Live/Samsung SmartTV users compared to years past. My feed off the X-Box was in "glorious" HD and the same price as my cable company who doesn't even offer the HD feed. I'll probably order all the PPVs through XBox Live now.

Still the potential for the domestic buys ending up being lower than usual while the international buys might end up being the highest in Mania history. |

WWE doesn't give a shit if the buys are in Utah or Ethiopia. A buy is a buy. Growing internationally helps protect you (somewhat) from fluctuating domestic markets.

$72 million dollars! That's impossible because the WWE sux and Antonion Cesaro didn't rassle and CM PUnk didn't win every belt!
