    WrestleMania 28 Does 1.3 Million Buys

    I think you are being a bit harsh on the show, yes it had some weak moments but that was bound to happen when you have a four hour show and I think that the top three matches all delivered. I paid for it and I thought that it was a quality show and I have been impressed that WWE have already...

    WrestleMania 28 Does 1.3 Million Buys

    To be fair though pretty much everyone that deserved to be on the card got on the card. I can't think of too many that were regulars on RAW and Smackdown that missed out on the day. Also remember they had a 12 man tag in the middle of the show so a heap more guys got bigger pays because they...

    WrestleMania 28 Does 1.3 Million Buys

    Great result to beat the previous record. Normally the prelim numbers are a little bit lower because they still need to add in all the extra replays. They had plenty of growth over last year so this year's WM has been a success. Now the challenge is on for WWE to beat this record next year with...

    WrestleMania 28 Does 1.3 Million Buys

    I will be very surprised if this isn't the most bought WWE PPV of all time. It had a ton of hype and it actually delivered. I bought it and I am very glad that I did, I also expect that there would have been quite a few replay buys after people heard how good everything was after the first hour.

    WrestleMania 28 Does 1.3 Million Buys

    There is one very major flaw with this arguement. You are only considering the US fan base of approximately 5 million (and I think it is more than that as well) you are completely ignoring the international WWE fan base. PPVs are available worldwide and I think that the normal percentage of...

    WrestleMania 28 Does 1.3 Million Buys

    I definitely expect it to break the WM buyrate record and I would even go as far to say that it would be a failure if they didn't break that record. I just don't know if it will be as big as the 1.9 million estimate that this guy put up with what seems like no inside information at all.

    WrestleMania 28 Does 1.3 Million Buys

    After he explained himself I am a lot less confident that he actually knows any inside info. Just sounds like he was talking to a friend and they took a stab in the dark that it would do 1.9 million buys.

    WrestleMania 28 Does 1.3 Million Buys

    I think that this number is a very questionable estimate. I have never heard of an estimated buyrate to be released within two days of the PPV, normally it takes then at least a month before they even have a basic idea. Strange that an ESPN reporter was the first to report it as well rather than...
