WWE WrestleMania Buyrates History

By Pavitar Sidhu
WrestleMania is the world's biggest pro wrestling event of the year, and it should come as no surprise why it draws such a high PPV buyrate annually. WWE builds the entire year around the event, and it's a great privilege for wrestlers to even be placed on the show's card, but the select few that have been fortunate enough to main event the show have cemented their names in the history books forever.
As the main event is what really draws the fans to buy the show, you have to be very high on the card, or in the good graces of Vince McMahon to have a spot in the main event of the show.
