WWE WrestleMania XXIV - March 30, 2008 (October 2, 2008 on MyNetwork TV)

its still 29.99 in australia which is like 25USD.

$55 is ridiculous.

[QUOTE="Link256"] The listed price for this year's WrestleMania PPV is $54.95.

Dude, its only $5 increase we are talking about here... WrestleMania has been at the $50 range for the past 3 or 4 years.

Than again, it was only 8 or 9 years ago when WrestleMania was within the $35 mark...

Edit: However, at the same time, important to remember that US dollar in 1999 or 2000 had more value to it than it does here in 2008.

Also, back in 2000, WrestleMania was only 3 hours in length, where as they days, its 4.

Whatever the case, personally, I would be willing to pay even more money, if WWE were willing to bring back the concept of "WrestleMania All Day Long."

[QUOTE="VanDerSar01"]on the WWE website it saids "For the first time ever, WrestleMania will take place outdoors" it doesn't even know they're own history. :D:DLink256

Pft... I think that is part of history they rather forget, if you hear what I am saying. :|

Though, with that being said, I do not what is, however, there is something I find to be very appealing about out-doors wrestling show (probably unique factor, if I had to make guess).

I think what the WWE is going to do is let Orton beat Cena. Then the winner of the Elimation Chamber will face the Orton and Cena is a Triple Threat.AceBermanX

Well for WrestleMania they are obvisouly going to go all out right. Esoecially since they are doing this outdoors. They better hope it doesn't rain or whatever. More onto the point.v I don't think its going to be Cena v. Orton v. HHH because I tink Triple H will face Rick Flair in his final match. So Flair can go out with a bang and believe Flair and HHH will put on on e hell of a match. So its gonna be Orton v. Cena v. ???. Maybe Shawn Michaels or JBL because then it would be great. For Smackdown I think its going to be Edge v. Undertaker because then he'll go 16-0 because then you'll have to do one major storyline for The Undertaker in like 5 weeks or so.

I don't like "Snow" by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers as the Wrestlemania theme. It's a good song but its not well fited for a Wrestling event, let alone WrestleMania...-The_Chris-

I though it was okay, however, nothing amazing. The one theme-song of WrestleMania XXII that I enjoyed, more than any other, was "I Dare You," by Shinedown, in cheesy kind of way.

As far as crappy WrestleMania theme-songs our concerned, personally, I would go with WrestleMania XVII theme-song of "My Way," by Limp Bizkit. For me, I am not sure if its Fred Durst's voice, or the lyrics, or both, however, something about that comes across as being kinda of annoying. On that note, even more so "My Way," is the very reason why borning as The Undertaker's long-and-draw-out entrance is these days, I will easily take that any day of the week over the alternative to being subjected to "Rollin'" (also by Limp Bizkit) ever again.

What happened to tradition?

You've got to be kidding.

The planned PPV price for the HD version of WrestleMania is $69.95.

That price is totally ludicrous. I thought the $54.95 was the HD price?! Well I'm going to have to give this PPV a thought of purchase since it's like the price total of two WWE DVDs and then some.

3 Matches Addded to the Card:

WWE Championship Match: Triple H vs. Randy Orton vs. John Cena

World Heavyweight Championship Match: Edge vs. The Undertaker

Money in the Bank Ladder Match

WWE has gone ridiculous with the prices for WM.

I'll just go to a sport bar and enjoy it there...Hooters..anyone?? lol

Unfortunately none of the bars here seem to show them... and this town is full of bars too.

Could you buy a ticket for WWE WrestleMania XXIV at famous players in advance or on March 30, 2008?

The Orlando Sentinel has an article up on the process Orlando went through to get WrestleMania 24 which included Mayor Buddy Dyer going to WWE Headquarters in Connecticut to get the talks going. Check out the article here.

There will be a WrestleMania XXIV press conference at Los Angeles' STAPLES Center today.

The road to the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Fla., will take a star-studded detour as our fans are invited to get the latest news on WrestleMania XXIV first at the STAPLES Center. Those scheduled to be at today's press gathering include: the combatants in the Triple Threat Match for the WWE Championship, Triple H, John Cena and WWE Champion Randy Orton; World Heavyweight Champion Edge; Rey Mysterio; Candice Michelle; new Playboy cover girl Maria; Mr. McMahon; Shane McMahon; Mike Adamle; Jonathan Coachman; and Big Show and Floyd "Money" Mayweather.

Today's press conference comes one week after Mayweather, regarded as the greatest fighter in the world, accepted a challenge for a match from the 7-foot, 400-pound Big Show, the only Superstar to hold the WWE, ECW and WCW Championships. Big Show laid the gauntlet on Raw one night after he clashed with Mayweather in a melee that left the giant with a bloody nose - and sparked headlines across the world. "Pretty Boy," who is 39-0, stunned fans and observers when he looked up into the towering Show's eyes and answered his challenge with an almost defiant "I accept!"

If you can't make it to the STAPLES Center today, WWE.com will stream the press conference live from Los Angeles, starting at 3 pm ET/12 pm PT.

Wait a second, wait a second. They're having the Wrestlemania Press Conference in LA? They're holding the Press Conference for an event being held in Orlando Florida on the opposite side of the country. How the hell does that make sense?The_Dude14

The only logical guess I think of beyond the obvious of it being Hollywood, is that Southern California is lot closer to Arizona (i.e. the place where Raw is being held tonight), than that of the distance between Florida and Arizona.

Other than that, I have no idea... not really something I thought of until you just brought it up. :P

HBK Vs. Flair is going to be a really good match, I see something big coming from this match.

And the MitB match is looking really good too, hopefully Hardy or Kenndey win it, and face the winner of whatever Championship they want later that night, like how Kenndey said on Raw to Orton, about faceing the Winner of the winner of the WWE Championship match weather it would be Cena, Triple H, or Orton he was going to cash it in at Wrestlemania 24.

And if Jeff Hardy wins it, then I can see him holding on to it for awhile and cashing it in like RVD did and fighting at a PPV, in a Ladder amcth or something. (even though Jeff Hardy has never won a ladder match since winning against Edge and Christain at No Mercy in 1999).
