| #1 Posted on 5.3.08 1608.43 Reposted on: 5.3.15 1608.46 | Which, if any of these, will you be doing on March 30th? I ask because I'm hearing that Comcast is charging $60 (was it $60 or $50 last year?) for the non-HD broadcast and $75 for the HD broadcast. Uh, I like the "granddaddy of them all" and haven't missed either ordering or attending one in a while but, at that cost, I may be heading to a local establishment to watch this year's show.
Now I know how Mayweather's getting the $20 million. Wow. Promote this thread! | | Gugs

I'm undecided. | DJ FrostyFreeze

| #3 Posted on 5.3.08 1626.06 Reposted on: 5.3.15 1626.49 | I'll be watching it at a local establishment, same as last year. For a few years in a row before that I watched it at my buddy's house with a bunch of other dudes who no longer watch any wrestling at all (and these were lucha/japan tape trading junkies back in the day too).
WM15 was the only one I've ever bought myself, WM2 was the first one I ever saw (on tape, and I cried when King Kong Bundy made the Hulkster bleed), and WM8 was the first one I ever watched live (on PPV). | geemoney

| #8 Posted on 6.3.08 0645.07 Reposted on: 6.3.15 0645.11 | I'm also undecided. I'll wait for some more matches to be announced before I make that decision.
If anything, it all depends on my wife; if she's not scheduled at work, we'll probably buy it.

So far I haven't seen the PPV's offered in HD by Comcast on my end, so I wonder if this is being rolled out a little bit at a time. Or maybe I'm just slow and missed it both times. | Zeruel

Those are pretty sweet. If I had a room big enough for one, I'd invest. I saw the 1994 FIFA World Cup final match on a 110 inch screen and it was plenty big for 150 or so people. A church close to my house had rented one for the match. | John Orquiola

Flying down with Lance Jr. on Friday and meeting another friend there. Making a four day weekend of it: Hall of Fame, WrestleMania, and RAW. We'll be there for all of it. And we'll squeeze in some time at Universal Islands of Adventure and Walt Disney World as well. I'll need a vacation to recover from WrestleMania weekend. | KJames199

Around here (not on Comcast), it seems to be hit or miss. Rumble wasn't offered in HD, but No Way Out was. And some UFC PPVs are offered in HD, but not all of them. Odd. | jwrestle

Ditto. Even if the card is a bit underwhelming, hey, it's Mania. |
