Guest Loss Posted October 15, 2004 Report Posted October 15, 2004 Austin/Rock made more money than Hogan/Andre and probably could have sold out the Silverdome had they chose to run Wrestlemania there. Two different eras -- it's hard to say.
theintensifier Posted October 16, 2004 Report Posted October 16, 2004 Is there a site that shows PPV Buy Rates that are up to date?
Guest Loss Posted October 17, 2004 Report Posted October 17, 2004 Is there a site that shows PPV Buy Rates that are up to date? I think prowrestlinghistory.com. tOA has buyrates, but they aren't current. Try doing a google search if all else fails.
Promoter Posted October 18, 2004 Report Posted October 18, 2004 Austin/Rock is this era's Hogan/Andre because they were the two most recognizable faces of wrestling for the generations they represented. Everyone knew Hogan and Andre and everyone knew Rock and Austin. In terms of comparing in terms of wrestling I think Rock/Austin is Hogan/Savage in that one played second fiddle to the next, but both were huge. The wwe even had an article on this. I would say the WM 15 encounter was more Hogan/Savage 1989 and Rock/Austin WM 17 was Hogan/Andre. When you think of the biggest match of the 80's you think Hogan/Andre and it's safe to say when someone thinks of the biggest match of the attitude era it's Rock/Austin. However, I do agree Hogan and Andre got more publicity and made WM a household name for sure. I remember the match being shown from sports news sections to Entertainment Tonight.
