Wrestlemania XXVII was a resounding success

WrestleMania was not a success. A success would mean lots of sales and a high rate of customer satisfaction. Lots of sales alone doesn't cut it, because they're not selling a single product here; they're trying to get repeat custom. If you sell something shit, people are less likely to buy next time. If you sell something good, people are more likely to buy next time. It's common sense.

I doubt customer satisfaction was that high. Trending on Twitter means people are aware of your product; it doesn't mean they like it. If it trends because everyone is calling it godawful, you weren't successful. All you can claim is that your failure was prominent and that's not a great thing.

You know, I don't even think WrestleMania 28's buyrates are going to drop because of this one being so poor/average/unremarkable. I think WrestleMania is always going to be a huge draw now regardless, as long as there are still people who watch wrestling. It's too well-established and, every year, they build it up as being the biggest night of the year. It'll still sell because there's always that possibility of excellence.

What I expect is that it will have killed the faith of a large number of people who paid for it though. And those people most likely won't pay for any questionable cards until Royal Rumble because if WrestleMania couldn't turn into something decent, how is Bragging Rights or Capitol Punishment or Over The Limit going to turn into something good? People won't risk it, and those buyrates will yet again come out looking terrible. A bad WrestleMania can't kill WrestleMania; it can kill the other less important PPVs though.
