They'd sell tens of thousands of tickets if the main event was an inanimate carbon rod Vs. A Broom.
Wrestlemania is the WWE's yearly convention now. People are mainly going for the experience of being at wrestlemania.
None of the card is even announced when they shift a good bulk of the tickets.
It's more the spectacle of a stadium show and all the different wrestling stuff going on over the weekend in one location that's the draw.

if they draw 85,000 fans then it would be the following :
North American wrestling attendance record Among the top 5 World attendance records for Pro Wrestling Largest live crowd ever to attend a WWE event (I said WWE, not WWF)

Honestly at this point I don't blame WWE for the creative decisions they make because whyshould they? And if the majority of that crowd shows up just to boo Roman Reigns then screw them because by buying a ticket to the show then it justifies WWE pushing him by giving them money instead of voting with their wallets and affecting real change For the record I don't hate Reigns, I'm not a fan but I'm not complaining about him and then still giving the WWE money No one is going to the show *just* to boo Roman Reigns.

.. Well you consider WWE has essentially been the only game in town since 2001.
If they had competition like WCW I guarantee their business would be in the 1995 crapper right now with Raw or Mania barely drawing.
When you control the industry you can do whatever you want. You still get enough people to watch. With competition they would be in trouble. Not a big accomplishment what they are doing now.
In 1987 or 1992 (When WM 3 and SS 92 drew) they still had different territories they were competing against and legit competition. Now they don't
Its not that HHH/Reigns draw or the MCmahon family drama of 2016 would ever draw if it was still competing against a rival organization. The Mania brand draws now and there is no other legit wrestling company to watch.
If you eliminate all the burger joints in town, people will flock to get your burgers chances are because you have eliminated the other burger joints.
People are watching Raw because there is no other pro wrestling on on Monday Nights. People are flocking to Mania because there is no clash of champions or other wrestling ppv going on

Not as long as the Hulkster hates the brothers, Brother. For real, f*** Hogan. Reigns & HHH can have that distinction forever as far as I'm concerned. Hogans new theme : I am an Egomaniac fights for the rights of just myself I am an Egomaniac fights for the rights....just for myself !!!

If the NBA all-star game held 108,000, I can't see them not trying to top that. Is that the legit number for the All Star game? Or inflated (lying) like WWE does? I get the carny point of view to need to look more grandiose, but don't get how they can just flat out lie about attendance like that when there are actual figures that prove otherwise. It seems so low rent to do. In my head Vince actually believes the lie he makes up and walks around with that idiot strut he does around the backstage area. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)
