Their parents do :shifty:


And aswell, even if they are targetting to children, I don't think that would be a reason why someone would pass going to WM

^^^So you don't acknowledge the fact that movie stars have fans too?

Of course he has his fans, but fans of actors aren't going to pay for a ticket of those prices to see him for what, 20 minutes? The fanbase of an actor and a boxer are completely different, and with a boxer, their fans will probably manage to sit through a wrestling show...but not an actors fans!

Oh and Monkey, he is talking about Christian. And a possible appearance of the "Wrestler"

Well, since he's replied in this thread and not corrected you, I'll respond to this.

Bullshit.

Show me on instance where WWE has advertised Cage. Regarding Rourke, Rourke advertised himself first. It's not Vince's fault if he changes his mind.

That may be, but the celebs are more aimed at increasing the PPV buy-rate IMO... And that's still drawing power.


Considering WWE have supposedly denied a MATCH including Rourke will happen, you'd do well considering Rourke as more like Snoop Dogg than Floyd Mayweather (using WM24 as an example)...

S'not like they have celebs in WM matches every year is it?

I think i may have hinted Towards the Cage vs. Jericho match at mania. Strictly just me assuming how things will be played after Matt Hardy turned on jeff. Heres what has lead me to this assumption

- Christian will likley be on Raw due to being a big name, making a big return

- Rourke/Flair have been jawing with Jericho, and Christian was a former NWA champion as well. (bit of a stretch)

- The fact Jericho is going to be in a big match at mania

- Jeff vs. Matt, HHH vs. Edge, Cena vs. Orton....BUT if Orton faces HHH, things could be shaken up.

But yes, there is no truth to that rumor, just my thought process.

They should start confirming matches for WrestleMania and then everything will be back to normal.

^^^Huh? ..."Back to normal"?

They normally wait until the previous PPV is out of the way before releasing the card for the next PPV.

Uhmm, yes it is.

It happened the same with Wrestlemania 24.


And BTW, not a month, Wrestlemania is about 2 months away

He means one month wrestling time. (kinda) like one PPV a month, and the Fed PPV NWO is about to happen in one more sunday and then that's it. So like he means one month, this time next month it will be the sunday before Mania.

Does that even made sense to you when you were posting it?

well actually not really, I tried to explain it the same way that C4 did but like I guess now that I read over my post I failed, it sounds worse then what he said in the first place. >->

I understand what he means, though the way he put it is confusing. There's one ppv per month. NWO is next week. WM is the next ppv so that means its in one month. I think that's what he means by one month wrestling time. May sound complicated but it's not really. That's how I do it too.

Time is time, in the wrestling world or in real life.

Bottom line, there's still 7 weeks until Wrestlemania.


Besides, I am not surprised Mania is not sold out:

1) Ticket sales were delayed 3 times.

2) Lame old excuse: Economy

3) We're not talking about selling 10 000 tickets, we are talking of over 70 000 tickets to be sold.



BTW, let me remind you, ticket sales income is already up to $5 million, while the record is $5.85 million.
