Well they already lied about having 101,000 people there so why should I believe any if this?
Friendly reminder people were so disinterested in the main event that they were chanting for Shinsuke Nakamura.
Wrestlemania is the draw, not Romanetty.

> they were chanting for Shinsuke Nakamura.
bullshit.
If they were so against the main event they would've never purchased a fuckin ticket in the first place. Not only did wrestlemania sell out but set a huge fucking record, that doesn't happen without a specific reason. It indicates interest in the feud and stars involved. A few smarks trying to get themselves over by booing or chanting shit doesn't prove anything.
>>1965661
They were chanting for Nakamura, Enzo & Cass, American Alpha, Bayley, Asuka, literally fucking anybody besides Romannetty.
Clean your ears.
Most of these economic impact stats are bullshit and they just hire people to put out whatever numbers they want. The super bowl and Olympics do the same thing. They actually have a fraction of an impact of what they say, and most "new" business is just business that shifted from one part of town to this one.
Don't buy this shit

Roman looks literally dead inside or he's very focused.
I honestly can't tell. Can you?
>>1965695
2bh I mostly remember the GABLE chant
need to rewatch it for evidence
>>1965724
> The super bowl and Olympics do the same thing
Not really. With wrestlemania, you're attracting people from all over US and even abroad since it is a one time event of the year. But with Super bowl, people mostly just watch on the TV, and the event crowd is largely limited to the one state hosting it.
Olympics costs ton of money to put on in the first place, so any money is made is not profitable since the spending is so high.
Infact, Brazil recently admitted they lost money hosting Olympics this year.

>wrestlemania
Try again.
Wrestlemania usually does pretty well by name alone, and you damn well know this.
>>1965754
Yes, just about all countries lose money hosting it. So why do these countries keep bidding on it? Because they put out fake economic impacts to make it look desirable. The super bowl does the same thing to make people bid, and the actual economic impact is usually a fraction of what it actually is. And no, people do travel for the Super Bowl
