I'm at the O2. Hell of alot of CM Punk shirts and YES! chants in the lobby. No Daniel Bryan shirts at the merch stand though.
That's ridiculous, I can't believe (actually I can) the WWE underestimated the sales potential of YES/Bryan.
The shirt was sold out from their first shipment and put in backorder on WWEshop.com, my shirt was shipped from the second shipment, but in the website is sold out again, it has probably been like that since last monday, and they are just trying to fulfill pre-orders.
They did have some shirts for the Euro tour, but they must have sell them all in the first house shows. Vince must be cursing (himself) the merchandising team for all the lost euros and pounds.

Batman's cape makes more sense than capes on flying characters.
Socks and sandals are bad, but I don't get "the blacks" the same way Vince does so maybe you get special rules. I do know you get away with wearing purple a whole lot easier.

That sign is so intense it shouldn't be legal, straight up gangsta trippin
The Frankman
Banned
Who's Frankman? Someone has a similar name to mine?
They made and starting selling these shirts less then a week from WrestleMania, it's in high demand, ofcourse they don't have millions of shirts yet.
It's a good sign.
Punk doesnt deserve Austin, Orton does.

I think they did that due to the strong pre-sale.

EXTREME!

I'd love the see the numbers on this. Otherwise, I think he's full of shit.

I wonder how much backlash Brock will get from wearing his UFC attire. We obviously aren't getting the Lesnar that left in 2004.
Just because they both have a type of snake for a nickname doesn't mean Orton deserves it. Austin and Punk are polar opposites, and a feud between them basically writes itself.
I like this poster.
Ortono vs. Austin seems interminably better than Punk/Austin only because of the build of the match. If Punk was still his 'summer of punk' self, then I'd enjoy the match, but since he's John Cena 2.0, I'd much rather Orton/Austin.
I wonder if they include resale market revenue in these numbers or not.
Edit: I just saw some articles that said the Gate was 8.9 million.
Didn't think they would get that many buys. Good for them.
Not the current Punk. Maybe the SES one.
I find it weird that they broke the buy record but you wouldn't know that by the ratings they were getting up till the show.
Also, this wrestlemania made Daniel Bryan in a weird way by losing in 18 seconds because whats happening now with the new Yes shirt and it selling like crazy. Would of this happened if he lost a 15-20 minute match with Sheamus?
I think they mean they broke their own pay per view buy record not the all time one.

I was guessing he was meaning the Wrestling PPV record which was held by Wrestlemania 23 (the trump one) which I think got 1.25 million buys.
Vince probably doesn't acknowledge boxing.
That's about all I can guess, though the article itself doesn't allude to it.
True, and I guess I just picture that in my mind whenever the feud is brought up. I'm pretty sure they've both stated it wouldn't work the way things are right now.
We all know this is so Paul Heyman can do a run-in and become Lesnar's manager.....right? Am I right? Please tell me I'm right.
Only in dreams, unfortunately
Tripple Threat: The Viper vs The Rattlesnake vs The Cobra.
Or Handicap match: The Viper, The Rattlesnake, The Cobra vs The Celtic Warrior. Can The Great White banish Snakes from WM?

Vince plays the long term game. We may think that he never books a month in advance, but that's just because no one can understand his genius.Just as intended.

I have high expectations for D.Brine's match at Extreme Rules especially seeing how he hasn't wrestled for any length on television or pay-per-view since March 26th when he was tagging with GAF's Favorite Wrestler vs. Boreton & Too Many Limes.
No... last week's joke match against Mean Gene Okerlund doesn't count.

Lesnar's new ring attire
This looks.....strange.
And this is amazingly accurate.
Ambrose has been winning dark matches for a while now.

Thanks to the Rock. This goes with my theory that most people who order Mania nowadays don't even watch the show on a consistent basis if ever, so they see Rock coming back vs Cena and decide to buy a show once a year to see storylines wrap up. Rock has saved them 2 years in a row now. Will he still be a draw next year vs Brock?

He beat JTG before Raw in Miami and Zeke at Smackdown in Orlando. It was a nice surprise.

WWE announced the match stipulation for Brock vs Cena
At least it looks like we won't have to put up with a bs finish.
Exteme Rules Matches are no-disqualification and no-countout in nature. With virtually all rules out the window, the only way to win such a contest is by pinfall or submission.
At least it looks like we won't have to put up with a bs finish.
Why? Swagger is an All American American, UK crowds usually go for UK guys.
