WrestleMania XXX Draws Substantial Viewership For ESPN

ESPN needed to figure out what they could air when there are no live sports. WrestleMania was a perfect fit and it seemed to work out.

Showbuzz Daily reports that the re-airing of WrestleMania XXX on ESPN drew 839,000 viewers. This was the highest rated show on ESPN for the entire weekend.

WrestleMania 32 will air the following Sunday with WrestleMania 35 airing on WrestleMania Sunday at 3:00 PM.

ESPN and WWE’s deal to stream WrestleMania fell through. Vince McMahon wanted far too much money. Perhaps this good rating for Mania XXX will provide some assurance to ESPN that WWE might be worth the investment.
