Wrestle Mania 30

Wrestle Mania 30

By: Shawn Peterson

            Today I am going to be writing about the amazing streak that had lasted 21 years of wrestle mania wins. Yes, I know what you are all saying right now why someone in highschool is watching a scripted show about wrestling. Well my dad loves it and he wanted to watch it and I hadn’t been watching it for a while so I said why not.

            If you haven’t already figured out that I was talking about The Undertaker and his amazing 21-0 streak at wrestle mania, you are in for a surprise because at wrestle mania 30 his streak had fallen. Yes, that is right he is now 21-1, the un-thinkable has happened he had finally lost. As a kid I had always thought that he would just retire after a while because of his older age of 49 years old.

            The week before Wrestle Mania everyone goes out to the stores and buys there latest clothing and memorabilia of their favorite WWE super stars. When a streak like The Undertakersended everyone is devastated, now that this has happened the WWE cannot advertise his streak on his memorabilia anymore. Which they could lose money on but not advertising it anymore. With the WWE not being able to make money on “The Undertaker 21-0” and so on shirts or anything they will be losing money. The money made from Wrestle Mania comes from the merchandise and the tickets sold. Wrestle Mania is the Super Bowl of wrestling so every penny counts for this event.

            Now that one of the most famous superstars has lost his streak some people are going to stop watching for he was their favorite because of how good he was. Now that he is gone the WWE will have to find another way to have a large money maker of a wrestler such as The Undertaker. WWE knows that they will need to find something that will be capable of bringing in as much money as The Undertaker was able to.

            As some may know that the WWE is a multi-million dollar company. This comes from tickets sold, t-shirts and other merchandise. Now with one of the biggest names of a superstar having losing his amazing streak, some money will be lost. The fact from him being such an old and unstoppable superstar is what made him loved by fans. Now that he lost, some fans are devastated and lost interest in the show; causing the WWE to lose fans and money.

            With the WWE now losing some fans and money they will need to find another way to keep the same income as before if not better than before. They may have made the choice of him losing to show that he is leaving sometime in the future or it was to show realism that people doubt in the show.

            All in all, Wrestle Mania will be losing some money now with the loss of one of the biggest names in all of wrestling. Merchandise will be dropped down and ticket sales will be dropped down unless somebody can fulfill the spot that The Undertaker had in the hearts of many.
