THE LATEST WRESTLEMANIA BUYRATE NUMBER IS..............

In the second quarter earnings released today, WWE reported that WrestleMania XXVIII did 1,217,000 buys.  That is up from the previous year's show, which did 1,059,000 buys.  So it looks like The Rock was good for 158,000 buys, or a 15% bump over last year.

The Extreme Rules PPV with Brock Lesnar did 263,000 buys, up from the previous year's 209,000.  That means Brock was good for a 26% jump in buys, a really good number.

Over The Limit did a 167,000 buys this year vs. 140,000 last year while No Way Out did 194,000 this year vs. 170,000 for last year's Capitol Punishment show.

Overall, those are positive numbers for WWE's PPV business.
