Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted April 29, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted April 29, 2011 Thats awesome news. I dont think many would have predicted them getting into the 1 million range. You could sense a chance in the mood of the fans when the Rock came back. He seemed to get tongues wagging and people talking again. Next year could break records if they build that match up right. WrestleMania 28 is going to be a big one. They should pack that show with all kinds of big stars from the Attitude era, since that audience seemed to have returned for a few weeks. WrestleMania next year looks awesome already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Cena Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 It'll be fantastic news if they've manged to hit the magic million. It's a shame that the card itself didn't live up to its full potential, yet it's always good to hear the Mania buyrate doing well. The Elimination Chamber buyrate fell below expectations, so it'll be nice to see a healthy Mania number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Zenk Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I wonder if that's domestic or that plus International buys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgi86 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Here's some additional info (via PWInsider):  The return of Dwayne Johnson and the decision to use Jersey Shore star Snooki paid off big-time for WWE as Variety is reporting that the company's flagship PPV scored one million buys. Final numbers are not yet in, but the trade publication noted that buys are up 30% in North America and up to 15% overseas, according to the company.  Wrestlemania 26, featuring Shawn Michaels' retirement, generated 885,000 orders.  Wrestlemania 25, headlined by Randy Orton vs. Triple H and the first Undertaker vs. Michaels classic, scored 960,000 buys.  The Variety piece also credited WWE's marketing leading into the PPV as a factor, as the company smartly had their performers all over different television show for appearances, ranging from talk shows to the "Cake Boss" reality show.

Paid Members JNLister Posted April 30, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted April 30, 2011 Given that normally you'd expect international to grow more (addition of new markets), this seems to bear out the idea that being the day after UFC really hurt last year.

Seratonin Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 1 million homes witnessed what was probably the worst Wrestlemania in terms of pushing new stars, and the main event was unforgivable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael_3165 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Great! 1 Million people possibly put off buying WM next year! Fantastic. I am being slightly sarcastic but WWE needs to get its act together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted April 30, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted April 30, 2011 Well, at least a million people saw that Miz video package. Â Just a shame they saw everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
