also

Wrestlemania 17: 1,040,000 (970,000 buys in the US, a record that still stands for Wrestling)

WM 17 really was the peak of wrestling

>>2650216
These days you can watch Mania for free...

>>2650232
>Austin can even carry the undercarder to some dimes

His powers know no bounds

>>2650216
WCW pounding WWE in the ratings for all those weeks in a row. What was it again? Something like 80 weeks in a row right?

>>2650312
84 weeks I think

and it was a Austin vs Vince match that broke the streak

Holy shit. A buyrate like that could not have happened to a better wrestling PPV.

What's the highest viewed PPV that wasn't one of the big-4 (RR/WM/SS/SvS)

>>2650354
invasion i think

>>2650351
Yeah, instead it happened to WM23 and WM28

>>2650371
WM 23 and WM 28 did nothing close to the buys WM 17 did in North America though

>>2650371
WM23 got the huge buyrate 'cause it was the first WWE PPV available to India

What kind of success would a WM have if it was held in India? What about in the Tokyo Dome?

>>2650390

It was because of Trump actually

>>2650390
Nice try Pajeet, but it was all thanks to Big Dimes Trump.

>Big Dimes
>Not 'Bigly' Dimes

>>2650397
they would never do a Wrestlemania in another country because of the time zones

Canada is roughly the same time zone before someone tries to be a smartass

>>2650229
this image makes me sad

>>2650374
Why do North American buys matter so much though?

>>2650850
it just shows how popular wrestling was back then and how much WWE relies on the international market these days

>>2650882
It is identical to the state of the movie industry. It makes a lot of money but only because it expanded its markets. One day wrestling will be unable to rest on international laurels.

"Because I gut the greatest buyrates...like you wouldn't believe! No one ever has done this before..tremendous, tremendous buyrates..."

b-but y-you g-guys roman i-is a d-draw

>>2650931
compared to the rest of the raw roster he is

at least he got a reaction at the uk tapings, he got booed out the building but it's better than silence

>>2651055

After three Mania main events he better get at least some reaction.

And that the rest of the roster gets buried isn't the fault of the talent. If someone who isn't supposed to get over gets over on his own, he gets buried mercilessly.

>>2650931
He sure is. Can't carry 4 different shows by himself though. The real problem is the manlets who are more pushed today than at any other time in WWE history

>>2651062
>SEETHING

>>2650216
>No Mercy 2000: 550,000 (Built around Stone Cold getting his revenge on Rikishi)
Yeah nah, Benoit/Trippple Man and Rock/Angle were the main angles

>>2651076
... No. they ran that rikishi angle every week on TV, it would have been even hotter if they didn't desu, it had died down by then

>>2651076
so HHH vs vanilla midget and Rock vs the guy who got cucked by HHH was the main event over the return match of stone cold?

18+

>>2651079
it died down cause Rikishi was the fat guy who danced

no one took him seriously as a killer heel

if Rock turned heel and did Hollywood Rock the WWF's boom period would have been extended by at least a year
