That alot of words
coolYour response to the following WWE Press Release?
Any WWF press release is kind of hard to believe. I mean don't they ALWAYS say WM set a record every year ? I am however surprised to see that they are saying WMXXVIII made more money than the 25th anniversary. I mean true 28 does take place in Miami, the home town of The Rock who will be competing, but that was a huge milestone for WM. And the most highly anticipated main event ? How about The Rock vs. " Hollywood " Hulk Hogan? See, broadcast in PPV %26amp; viewed in more than 100 countries the same thing they say about it every year. How is selling out quickly " dramatic fashion " ? Then they said last year's was a record breaking event, that only further proves my point. So, basically my response is " yeah right. " If they break every year it really isn't that impressive because i am expecting it now.



word to the wise
There is no doubt that next years Wrestlemania will be awesome and probably the best Wrestlemania ever in WWE history if we see good matches and good storylines. I know for sure that The Rock vs Cena will be a great match now let's hope the rest of the matches are good as well!
