WWE Generates Record Revenues For WrestleMania 33

They say that it is one of the greatest shows in all of entertainment. A new report would seem to confirm that theory.

WWE’s Corporate website released some figures earlier today, indicating the revenue that was generated from WrestleMania 33 in Orlando, Florida. According to the report, $181.5 million dollars was brought into the region as a result of the “granddaddy of them all.”

“On behalf of the residents of the City of Orlando, I would like to thank the tens of thousands of WWE fans that converged on our city to be part of WrestleMania Week,” said Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer. “The week-long series of events boosted our economy by bringing guests to our restaurants, shops and hotels, and also benefited our city through community outreach initiatives. We look forward to welcoming WrestleMania back soon.”

“This historic result would not have been possible without the support of Mayor Dyer, the Central Florida Sports Commission and all of our public and private sector partners in Orlando that worked so hard to again welcome WWE’s global fan base,” said John P. Saboor, WWE Executive Vice President, Special Events. “We continue to be grateful to our fans who helped us deliver unprecedented economic results for our WrestleMania host city. We now look ahead to our return to New Orleans in 2018 for WrestleMania 34.”
