NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2006 With my buddies over for the ppv today, we were trying to work out how much each would owe for WM, so I looked up Dish Networks ppv page and according to their page. WM 22 is listed as $34.95. Is this an error on their website, or is WWE really only charging that much for the 4 hour show? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spman 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2006 I think Wrestlemania has a shot. The Smackdown Three Way and the Money in the Bank will obviously be good, but I think even Cena and Triple H could be pretty good if they put their working shoes on. I just wanna see Lashly and Finlay stiff the shit out of each other, and hope they don't get relegated to the pre-show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scroby 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2006 Wrestlemania's are normally that price or higher. Yeah the card might bite a whole lotta ass but since its a Wrestlemania, WWE jacks the price up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MillenniumMan831 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2006 The WM21 webcast was $50. I don't know how they can expect to get away w/ making it that much this year as well. For $35, it'd be a last minute decision but for $50, it's an automatic no-go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MillenniumMan831 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2006 Definitely. I really don't know exactly what about WrestleMania this year is supposed to draw head and shoulders above any other ppv. So ya got 2 World Title matches and what should be an awkward match between HBK/McMahon. Granted, the show could turn out a lot better than what we're giving it credit for but as far as drawing casual fans that wouldn't ordinarily order a ppv, I don't see many willing to part w/ $50 for this show.

Jericho and Michaels, Angle and Lesnar, Rock and Austin, I'm sure McMahon and Hogan had some appeal to someone. good point...though I was about tired of Austin/Rock at that point, personally...I did like Jericho/HBK and Jericho still remaining heel at the end. Plus, Safeco looked very cool with the multiple screens, open top, etc. I paid $400 for it. Does that sound right? I don't know if I would have paid that much, but I would have loved to have gone to that...very hot crowd that night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I often wonder that, every year. I'm usually not genuinely excited about most of the card, but everyone on the internet acts all jacked up "because it's Wrestlemania." The main event might be ok, but they'll probably give us some type of rematch at the PPV next month. Seems like just another WWE pay-per-view to me. Frankly, the only match this year that I'd be really interested in seeing is Benoit vs JBL, because I think they could pull off a really interesting match.

Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2006 I agree...JBL is better than he gets credit for...Benoit is, well, Benoit...I think their styles will mesh well...if JBL can have good matches with Guerrero, he's sure to have one with Benoit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2006 It would be worth the money if Dusty Rhodes is on commentary and if Beniot & Bradshaw brawl into the public restroom. Or if the match has the "Respect Match" stip so Beniot can end the match by saying "I respect the court" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2006 Well I know past WM's have been $50.00 because it was 4 hours, I just kind of brought this up because Dish Network has it listed as being $35.00 on their website, and there is only a few weeks to go meaning they don't hav a bunch of time to change the price.
