50 Things You Learn Binge-Watching Every WWE WrestleMania

Welcome to the first ever HD WrestleMania. The 24th event had that distinction, which meant fans could see Ric Flair's retirement (or so they thought), The Undertaker's title win and CM Punk becoming Mr. Money In The Bank with greater clarity. Elsewhere, over one million pay-per-view customers watched Floyd 'Money' Mayweather spark out Big Show in a boxer vs. wrestler match.

The build up had been epic, but the match was even better on the night despite a vast physical size difference between both men. It was plausible that a dangerous puncher like Floyd could pummel Show if he started peppering bunches to the body then head. If the giant's legs gave out, then it was curtains. That was part of the hype WWE presented going into the fight.

This was a Jake Paul-ish PPV money pit, and Mayweather wanted a slice of the pie. He was also smart enough to pick his spots and play up to the fact he was in there with someone at least double his size. The result was one of the best celeb-based WWE matches ever. This was 'Brawl For All' done the right way, and they smartly utilised one of the biggest combat sports stars in the world to sell it.

What a rip-roaring success.

Mayweather was money well spent for WWE. Rumours doing the rounds greatly exaggerated his fee, but the boxer still earned a tidy sum for the worked knockout on Show. You might've forgotten how exceptionally worked this was, by the way. Don't sleep on 'Mania XXIV's marquee celeb fight even if you're sick of the Paul brothers marketing tactics today.
