Anyone know the prices of the first Wrestlemanias?

[Guest Breakdown]

The WWF plans on charging more for their PPV's and they always do now for WM, but does anyone know how much the first 5 Wrestlemania's were on PPV?

I can't answer this question for you, but a quick google search netted this article, it may help you get an idea of how much the cost has risen over the years...

"In 1996, the WWF broke the record in terms of having monthly pay-per-views. The WWF named WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, SummerSlam, Survivor Series, and King of the Ring the "Big 5" because they were the original three hour big pay-per-views. The secondary pay-per-views, which were In Your House was still two hours. The Big 5 pay-per-views were $19.95, but in 1996 the rate increased to $29.95. WrestleMania was the most expensive with $34.95. The pay-per-views needed to get better. The WWF did poor business in 1996 when the price tag increased."

It doesn't say how much WM cost, but a few rounds of divison should answer the question

 

"Shown live on CCTV drawing 380,000 ($3,500,000)"

 

Comes out to $9.21 per unit -- Damn.

 

This IS the Internet, so take this info with a grain of salt.
