Vince McMahon's 10 Biggest Successes
2. WrestleMania
McMahon
didn’t invent the concept of an annual wrestling supershow, but he created the pop
culture smorgasbord of athleticism, music and theater. WrestleMania has become a
household name, an event that nonfans feel they have to experience. WWE’s Super
Bowl has grown from 20,000 diehards inside Madison Square Garden to 100,000
folks from around the world cramming into stadiums across North America.
Look
at the success of WrestleMania 33 this past April: a gross of $14.5 million in
revenue, an all-time Orlando Citrus Bowl attendance record of 75,245 fans from
50 states and 62 countries, a record 18 million social media fan engagements, and an
estimated $125 million in economic impact for the Central Florida area.
