No but it's not just title changes it's story, period. GRR was filler. A B-level PPV at best. Much like a house show it just served as a stopgap in the story for a paying audience, resolving nothing and barely even advancing much of it. Wrestlemania is a massive, glitzy, months-long-build for stories and its purpose as the year's climax and where at least presentation-wise only the big matches go down and what happens is supposed to matter serves as what makes it special. Part-timers are a big part of the MSG house shows, too. Even if it felt like a solid PPV to you, that's a very far cry from being equal in value and overall importance to Wrestlemania and demanding ringside tickets of similar cost. Sumo Guy was there, your argument is invalid. f***, you're right

Yeah that's way too much for basically a big house show. It's going to be a SummerSlam-tier event. They'll have a huge entrance set, pyro, celebrities, national anthem, all that stuff. From what it sounds like so far, it's on par with the Greatest Royal Rumble show, which really was a big house show with a huge set/screens, etc, they had a big Rumble as the feature match which was entertaining but didn't mean much in the long term.

Maybe this one can have the Greatest Survivor Series, 50 man teams, half of them up the ramp to fit.

Sumo Guy needs to be here as well. He should just show up at big international shows and awkwardly job to another HOSS with the quickness.

They'll be free to do far more interesting things at this show than the Greatest Royal Rumble. They could barely even have heels winning in Saudia Arabia.

Good god, front row for Elton John's last concert ever at MSG wasn't even more than $1000, that price is totally insane

If they present it as a big deal PPV where actual stuff happens and it’s not a glorified mega house show, then maybe those prices are justified? I’d say they will struggle to sell tickets though.

It’s going to be Wrestlemania-level so there’s your Wrestlemania-level prices. Come on, really? WWE got crazy amounts of money from Saudi Arabia and they put on the definition of a fancy house show, I don't see any way they make a show in Australia in October, prime season for their post-Summerslam "nothing happens mode", in a country on the other side of the world that their main fanbase can't catch live for the most part, is treated as anything Wrestlemania-level. GRR had two world title matches, including a part timer he barely defends his title and a 50 man battle royal That was not a house show

Aren’t most things in Australia super expensive?
Like, aren’t movie tickets like 25 bucks and video games over $100?

You can wait it out to see if the prices drop down.
Wrestlemania was the same where the prices were insane, but dropped down closer to the event. I was tempted to go, but the card didn't really impress me. Then they added Bryan to the card and tickets just flew away.
I honestly don't think it's worth that much for the show with the card they have right now.

I've been to Wrestlemania.
This is not Wrestlemania.
