WrestleMania 23's Buyrate: It’s too early to tell, but the early returns are promising. Each of the past 3 WrestleManias have averaged 1 million PPV buys and this year will break 1 million too.

The "WrestleMania" brand WrestleMania is a $100 million brand (including PPV revenue, merchandise and licensing)Compared to a Hollywood film release, WrestleMania makes in 4 hours what a succesful movie might make in its opening three days.

SummerSlam: In late June, WWE will begin its “Biggest Party of the Summer” campaign, culminating at SummerSlam in August.

Next Year's WrestleMania 24: It will be the first WrestleMania in Florida. The city of Orlando did a great job presenting its vision for the event and it will be tremendous. WrestleMania 24 will take place in the 60,000 seat outdoor stadium at the Citrus Bowl. Coming to the home of Disney and Universal theme parks offers all kinds of possibilities to draw an even larger global audience to WrestleMania. It will be very special.
