8. WrestleMania 20 - 1,007,000 Buys
Main event - Triple H Vs Chris Benoit Vs Shawn Michaels WrestleMania 20 was pushed for a full year and ended up pulling one of the most impressive buy rates of the early 2000's. Particularly when you consider how the company suffered on PPV in the rest of 2004. A lot of what sold it was sentiment and nostalgia. WWE heavily marketed it as "Where it all begins.. again" with the idea they were returning to Madison Square Garden twenty years after the first show and ten years after WrestleMania 10. It was also the return of the vintage Undertaker character, in addition to featuring big names like The Rock and Mick Foley returning. Brock Lesnar versus Goldberg, and Eddie Guerrero versus Kurt Angle served as co-main events, but what really stole the show was Chris Benoit winning the title from Triple H in a triple threat also involving Shawn Michaels. It was one of the best WWE matches of all time.
