The adjusted numbers list that the show did 2.54 million viewers, which while up from the previous year's 1.9 million viewers, doesn't come across as impressive as the 3.9 million viewers that was initially reported. It should be noted this year's WrestleMania network premiere was the direct follow up show to the NFL Hall of Fame game which featured the New York Giants defeating the Buffalo Bills. The game is a preseason game and does not count but given it is football and the very first game, preseason or not, it did a strong number. So, a carry over audience could have contributed. The show was also advertised on the return of Hulk Hogan which, to the casual fan, may not have been seen previously. :: GO BACK TO THE HOME PAGE :: DISCUSS THIS STORY ON FACEBOOK! :: BUY WRESTLING DVD'S THROUGH OUR STORE!
