Shouldn't the Angle/Orton/Mysterio match be listed as the overall main event? Cena/Triple H is just the RAW main event. 68.47.234.131 04:21, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
Cena getting booed isn't POV. The commentators, fans, WWE.com, and Cena himself all talked about it.
Cena getting booed isn't POV. The commentators, fans, WWE.com, and Cena himself all talked about it.
This is going to be better then last year Wresltemania so many good matches this year
and omg what about the playboy fight wow so into this Wrestlemnia 22
Does it really matter that the match will be a terrible wrestling display? Personally i will be looking at two good looking divas.
Please note, whoever reads this, that Bobby Lashley is indeed in the MITB Ladder Match and Booker vs. Boogeyman will now be Booker & Sharmell vs. Boogeyman, but SmackDown has not aired yet, so don't add Lashley or Sharmell to the trivia section and say that it will be his debut at Wrestlemania until after SmackDown airs this week. - Adamaniac 16:52, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Why is there a war raging over adding/removing Chris Masters from the list of people making competitive WreslteMania debuts? A DVD battle royal DOES NOT COUNT. If Heat/DVD matches counted, then the world tag titles were defended in a standard match at WM XIX, making the note about it being the first since WM XV incorrect.
I believe that wrestling involving taped shows should be treated the same as movies and spoiler warnings should be posted. The changes to the wrestlemania card involving the smackdown tapings from 3/20 should either have not been posted yet or spoiler warnings should be put up. Vinnyxvincent 10:54, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Why must you guys insist on having the entire match card in big bold letters? It makes the page look so ugly and un-encyclopedia like. Also, what's the deal with the Money in the Bank match? We don't need RAW or Smackdown after every single superstar. I try to clean things up, but then someone goes and messes everything back up. >:-( OutRider2003 22:11, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Do not remove Lashley from the Ladder match. Canada gets SmackDown on Thursday, and it has been confirmed that Lashley is in the match. -- Killswitch Engage 02:46, 24 March 2006 (UTC)Killswitch Engage
K that is stupid. Its not my fault that Canada gets it before the U.S. Don't get pissed when i say i tod you so. Oh and if you dont know where Canada is, it's north of the states. Just a note. -- Killswitch Engage 22:52, 24 March 2006 (UTC)Killswitch Engage
Hey "jman" it may just surprise you to know that im not a little kid!! Just because you got your panties in a bunch doesn't mean you need to go off on me. It may shock you that Alberta Canada law states that I can obtain my learners permit. That means I can drive if you don't know. I think that legitimetly states im no longer a "little kid". -- Killswitch Engage 03:21, 1 April 2006 (UTC)Killswitch Engage
Unforunately, "Killswitch Engage", both Perry and Jman are right due to the fact that it's Wikipedia's rule and also the fact that it happened doesn't mean that the world has seen it. Adamaniac 07:27, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Wrestlemania 23 rmuors say its going to take place in Deriort were superbowl 40 was
hey Perry my names matt i just wanted to know if i and other people could make picks on all the matches for Wresltemania 22 and post them here would that be ok i won't do it unitl u say so thanks.
Someone just recently pointed out that Smackdown airs in Canada on Thursday, which I thought was a very valid point for posting updates to the WrestleMania card. I understand there may be a Wiki policy that it's only valid if it airs in the U.S. but when I lived in Eastern Michigan there were no shortage of Canadian broadcast channels on local cable; hell with a satellite dish you could pick them up anywhere in North America. So here's the deal - since the geographical line which divides Canada and the U.S. is a definition of politicians and governments and television broadcasts + satellite dishes don't recognize those lines, shouldn't "aired in Canada" be the same as "aired in the U.S." when you can just as easily see it here? Hmm? BronzeWarrior 23:11, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
I believe Canada can't let it go because of the fact that Shawn was part of the biggest screwjob in WWE history. -- Killswitch Engage 21:26, 1 April 2006 (UTC)Killswitch Engage
Well, wouldnt you not want to let it go if you were leaving WWE and you to drop the title before you left and you had the planned finish changed on you with Vince screwing you out of the title?? We are still pretty pissed and so is Bret. The anger has subsided a bit though with Bret being inducted into the Hall of Fame.-- Killswitch Engage 06:59, 2 April 2006 (UTC)Killswitch Engage
When were Perry and Atlas cofirmed for the Hall of Fame? I didnt see it on Raw. -- Killswitch Engage 00:05, 25 March 2006 (UTC)Killswitch Engage
I believe that match names such as Triple Threat Match and No Holds Barred Match should be capitalized, because they are a WWE specialty match, therefore making it a proper noun. "Proper nouns (also called proper names) are the names of unique entities." (from Noun) Some people have disagreed with me, and I was wondering what everyone else thought. On the List of professional wrestling match types page, all matches are capitalized. Eenu ( talk) 06:48, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
so i did i need like 100 percent of your approvel that i can make picks on here just say yes or no thanks
This the Third Money In the Bank Ladder Match (Matt Hardy vs. Edge "Loser leaves RAW" Match was the 2nd)
So Shelton is the only person to compete in both WrestleMania Money in the Bank Ladder Matches but not in all Money in the Bank Ladder Matches BionicWilliam 23:43, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
guys,nobody cares.what a nitpick encyclopedia Lord revan 05:18, 3 April 2006 (UTC) At WrestleMania 23 it will be a nine man Money in the bank match Involving 3 from raw, 3 from smackdown and 3 from ecw. So get ready because it will be big. If you don't believe it believe it I'm Vince McMahon. 11:20 A.M. August 27 2006
Just so it isn't edited out again, WWE.com confirms the use of music from Danko Jones and Bullets and Octane for WrestleMania 22. It's at the bottom of the WrestleMania 22 subsite section, with samples and all that stuff.
Hi All... I can seem to find what time the show actually starts and finishes, can anyone help me out with that? -- TedEBare 03:56, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
Is it just me, or did the Backlash promo give away the ending to the Cena/HHH match? Poofyspikes 00:46, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
There were loads of things like that - e.g JBL winning the US title, you knew Rey would become World heavyweight - Angle's tweener, Orton's Heel, and Smackdown can't have 3 heel champs (MNM + JBL) can it? Kingfisherswift 16:43, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
How did the Backlash promo give away the ending of the Cena match?? Cena never lost the belt and so therefore didn't need to 'take back what was his'... SCREW YOU IWC KNOW-NOTHING KNOW-IT-ALLS!!!!
While HBK and Triple H made DX references during the show, it's not important enough to have it warrant its own section. The references should be included in the Trivia or Results section. OutRider2003 03:12, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
I elaborated on it in the Results for the John Cena vs. Triple H match. That should work out for the best. OutRider2003 03:21, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Appears someone moved it into the Trivia. OutRider2003 03:42, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
The article originally said that the fans were chanting "fuck you, Cena." This has since been edited to "F you, Cena." I didn't see WrestleMania so I don't know if the fans used the actual word or not. If so, then "fuck" definitely belongs in the article. Jeff Silvers 03:18, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
I watched WrestleMania, and I was able to tell they were saying "Fuck You, Cena". However, it can be hard to pick out because the fans wouldn't stop chanting between that and "Let's Go, Cena". OutRider2003 03:21, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
I saw that somebody put up something abou the Rock announcing his return, but it was later taken down. Was that BS? (I didn't see WM this year 69.9.30.129 04:38, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Was making this match last insted of orton vs angle vs ray because the wwe was kissing HHH ass or trying to make john cena look like main event wrestler?
This is discussed up there ^^^^ somewhere... It's because WWE are pushing Cena as their #1 face... Ignore what the IWC say... Matt 4/4/06
Yes, because we're usually right, Cena has not been treated as a main eventer since WWE Backlash. -Dr. R.K.Z
I just want to clarify something. Mysterio is the first Mexican-American to win the World Heavyweight Championship in the WWE, not the second. OutRider2003 22:07, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Rey has pinned heavyweights before in his career, going back to WCW by defeating Kevin Nash, he qualifies in that aspect. Reallisticlly...WWE deliberatly neglect their own continuity from time to time, and expect the audience to like it. - User:Dr. R.K.Z
there are several ways to think about it differently:imagine j.j. redick playing a 1-on-1 against alan iverson.kinda like that.67.185.150.130
User:Ortonfan2006, there is a very simple reason why Rey can compete for the WHT, even though he is a cruiserweight. The titles have an upper weight-limit, but no lower weight-limit. So Rey (at approx 200lbs) could step up and wrestle for the World title, but HHH (at approx 270lbs) couldn't step down and wrestle for the CW title. The CW title has an upper weight-limit, but the other titles have no lower weight-limit.-- HDC7777 17:38, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Does anybody know if May 22 is the release day of the DVD in Canada? In Amazon Canada it states the release, in Canada, as June 6. Anybody know? TripleH1976 11:18 a.m., 15 May 2006 (UTC)
sorry i dont knoooooow.....checj wwe shop and other things like that.
The "900,000" figure displayed in this article is incorrect and very misleading. There are two main reasons for this:
You can check both of these points for yourself, here is WWE's press release on their corporate website which clearly says : "preliminary estimates to date of world-wide pay-per-view buys for WrestleMania 22 are more than 925,000" at the top of the first paragraph : http://corporate.wwe.com/news/2006/2006_05_17.jsp
Also as an extra reference here is WWE's Fourth Quarter 2006 conference call presentation where the "925,000" figure is again clearly displayed on page 8 (PDF document) : http://corporate.wwe.com/documents/4QF2006PresentationFINAL.pdf
By only talking about the combined world wide PPV buy rate for wrestlemania, it is very clear that WWE are deliberately trying to mislead everyone the best they can and cover up their in fact very disappointing domestic PPV sales for their so called "biggest event of the year". However as WWE is a public company, they must disclose their full PPV figure breakdowns, and so here it is:
The main country from which the international buys came from is the UK where WWE on PPV is a relatively new and rare thing. WWE PPV figures have historically always been given as US ppv figures, but wwe saw that their ppv buys were going down domestically, so thats why they started PPV in the UK and thats why they feel the need to COMBINE these figures! Don't be misled!
These figures have been reported by Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer, The LAW (liveaudiowrestling.com) and MMA Weekly - ALL highly reliable sources for Wrestling/MMA news. Here for reference is the MMA weekly article where the domestic figure is quoted (6th paragraph from bottom): http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews.asp?articleid=2359&zoneid=3
The bottom line is, the US PPV buy rate and International PPV buy rate should be posted separately in order not to mislead people like WWE are trying to do. 81.154.251.229 20:48, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
And IT IS "NOTABLE" because WWE PPV figures have ALWAYS been given as US buy rates. This meant that all WWE PPV's success in terms of buys in the US market could be compared with each other and also with other events in the US PPV market such as boxing and UFC/MMA. However, WWE realised that their PPV buys in the US were diving, so they have started playing with the numbers by adding them all together and trying to mislead everyone by presenting bigger numbers. THIS IS VERY NOTABLE !! The PPV figures for the US and International must be separated and made clear ! 81.154.251.229 00:36, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
TJ Spyke -
Now as for the ppv figure, it is VERY relevant to the ppv (hence thats WHY its a damn PPV!!!). If the aim of a ppv was not to get a ppv figure, then why do they even bother having ppv's !?!?! Also, internet wrestling fans are very much interested in PPV figures for each show as it shows its success - thats why the figures are reported on wrestling news sites for every single ppv every month - because people care and read it!!!! So nobody should ever dare to "tell" people what information they want or don't want to read as that would equal blatant censorship and this isn't communist china so you have no damn right to censor correct information!!
In general, no information that is correct and relevant should ever be discarded simply because some arrogant people think that no one cares about that info. Quite simply, The more correct info, the better! 81.154.251.152 21:33, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
Here's a deal again. do not change the pre-show match ever! m'kay.
Someone made a really wieeeeeeeeered match. it was two random men, fighting for something called the WWE DADS TITLE. And they tried to make it some 25 mins long. If people continue to do thing s like that the page will be locked from changes being made.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.31.120.177 ( talk • contribs)
Who put the tagline for wm 22 as "wrestlemania goes hollywood"? If the event took place at rosemont, illinois, how can it be in hollywood? I changed it to "big time" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Reeezy ( talk • contribs) 15:09, 3 April 2007 (UTC).
was not the official song for mania it was for backlash. TheManWhoLaughs 00:51, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Well then WWE is wrong. TheManWhoLaughs 02:23, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Although some titles were defended in singles matches, was this WrestleMania the only one not to have a plain one-on-one non-title match? If so, would it be placed in the trivia section?-- Lord Dagon 13:53, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

I'll ask if this is noteworthy: the video package (and official history presented by Joey Styles during the event) made the claim that Edge's brief WWE Title reign was ended by John Cena at the Royal Rumble with Mick Foley as referee. In fact, these were two separate matches: Cena defeated Edge on 29 January at the Royal Rumble, and during Edge's contractually obligated rematch on 13 February, Foley as referee counted the three to lead to Cena retaining. Should this be posted here, elsewhere, or anywhere?

User:Ortonfan2006, there is a very simple reason why Rey can compete for the WHT, even though he is a cruiserweight. The titles have an upper weight-limit, but no lower weight-limit. So Rey (at approx 200lbs) could step up and wrestle for the World title, but HHH (at approx 270lbs) couldn't step down and wrestle for the CW title. The CW title has an upper weight-limit, but the other titles have no lower weight-limit.-- HDC7777 17:38, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

sorry i dont knoooooow.....checj wwe shop and other things like that.
The "900,000" figure displayed in this article is incorrect and very misleading. There are two main reasons for this:
You can check both of these points for yourself, here is WWE's press release on their corporate website which clearly says : "preliminary estimates to date of world-wide pay-per-view buys for WrestleMania 22 are more than 925,000" at the top of the first paragraph : http://corporate.wwe.com/news/2006/2006_05_17.jsp
Also as an extra reference here is WWE's Fourth Quarter 2006 conference call presentation where the "925,000" figure is again clearly displayed on page 8 (PDF document) : http://corporate.wwe.com/documents/4QF2006PresentationFINAL.pdf
By only talking about the combined world wide PPV buy rate for wrestlemania, it is very clear that WWE are deliberately trying to mislead everyone the best they can and cover up their in fact very disappointing domestic PPV sales for their so called "biggest event of the year". However as WWE is a public company, they must disclose their full PPV figure breakdowns, and so here it is:
The main country from which the international buys came from is the UK where WWE on PPV is a relatively new and rare thing. WWE PPV figures have historically always been given as US ppv figures, but wwe saw that their ppv buys were going down domestically, so thats why they started PPV in the UK and thats why they feel the need to COMBINE these figures! Don't be misled!
These figures have been reported by Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer, The LAW (liveaudiowrestling.com) and MMA Weekly - ALL highly reliable sources for Wrestling/MMA news. Here for reference is the MMA weekly article where the domestic figure is quoted (6th paragraph from bottom): http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews.asp?articleid=2359&zoneid=3
The bottom line is, the US PPV buy rate and International PPV buy rate should be posted separately in order not to mislead people like WWE are trying to do. 81.154.251.229 20:48, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
And IT IS "NOTABLE" because WWE PPV figures have ALWAYS been given as US buy rates. This meant that all WWE PPV's success in terms of buys in the US market could be compared with each other and also with other events in the US PPV market such as boxing and UFC/MMA. However, WWE realised that their PPV buys in the US were diving, so they have started playing with the numbers by adding them all together and trying to mislead everyone by presenting bigger numbers. THIS IS VERY NOTABLE !! The PPV figures for the US and International must be separated and made clear ! 81.154.251.229 00:36, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
TJ Spyke -
Now as for the ppv figure, it is VERY relevant to the ppv (hence thats WHY its a damn PPV!!!). If the aim of a ppv was not to get a ppv figure, then why do they even bother having ppv's !?!?! Also, internet wrestling fans are very much interested in PPV figures for each show as it shows its success - thats why the figures are reported on wrestling news sites for every single ppv every month - because people care and read it!!!! So nobody should ever dare to "tell" people what information they want or don't want to read as that would equal blatant censorship and this isn't communist china so you have no damn right to censor correct information!!
In general, no information that is correct and relevant should ever be discarded simply because some arrogant people think that no one cares about that info. Quite simply, The more correct info, the better! 81.154.251.152 21:33, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
Here's a deal again. do not change the pre-show match ever! m'kay.
Someone made a really wieeeeeeeeered match. it was two random men, fighting for something called the WWE DADS TITLE. And they tried to make it some 25 mins long. If people continue to do thing s like that the page will be locked from changes being made.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.31.120.177 ( talk • contribs)
Who put the tagline for wm 22 as "wrestlemania goes hollywood"? If the event took place at rosemont, illinois, how can it be in hollywood? I changed it to "big time" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Reeezy ( talk • contribs) 15:09, 3 April 2007 (UTC).
was not the official song for mania it was for backlash. TheManWhoLaughs 00:51, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Well then WWE is wrong. TheManWhoLaughs 02:23, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Although some titles were defended in singles matches, was this WrestleMania the only one not to have a plain one-on-one non-title match? If so, would it be placed in the trivia section?-- Lord Dagon 13:53, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

I'll ask if this is noteworthy: the video package (and official history presented by Joey Styles during the event) made the claim that Edge's brief WWE Title reign was ended by John Cena at the Royal Rumble with Mick Foley as referee. In fact, these were two separate matches: Cena defeated Edge on 29 January at the Royal Rumble, and during Edge's contractually obligated rematch on 13 February, Foley as referee counted the three to lead to Cena retaining. Should this be posted here, elsewhere, or anywhere?
