Did WWE’s 21st annual WrestleMania PPV do well on PPV?
In a press release, WWE touted the success of WrestleMania 21 on PPV. Despite the lack of a strong mainstream media promotional drive, the show did an estimated 940,000 buys, with the potential for the final figure to hit over 1 million. That number is up fourteen percent from last year’s heavily hyped WrestleMania XX. No matter how one breaks it down, this is good news for WWE.
“Thank you to all our great fans around the world who have again made WrestleMania the premiere event in the Pay-Per-View industry,” said Kurt Schneider, EVP, Marketing. “We will maintain the incredible momentum we have built over the past 21 years by producing exceptional Pay-Per-Views month in and month out. This Sunday’s Backlash Pay-Per-View, which showcases the immortal Hulk Hogan’s return to the ring, further cements WWE’s place at the forefront of global pop culture.”
