<h2 style="text-align: center">WrestleMania</h2>
One of WWEâ€™s Big Five, WrestleMania is arguably the largest pro wrestling event in the world. Its first iteration featured the likes of Andre the Giant, Mr T, and Hulk Hogan, and a total attendance of just shy of 20,000 people. With WWE increasing the stakes each year, its latest iteration, WrestleMania XL, is set to feature over 25 of the promotionâ€™s biggest wrestlers, including Dwayne Johnson, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and Rhea Ripley.
<h2 style="text-align: center">WrestleMania Origins</h2>
WrestleMania was conceptualized as a rival to NWAâ€™s Starrcade, which began in 1983 and was initially organized by Jim Crockett Promotions. The two promotions were in a fierce battle to come out on top in the 80s, with NWAâ€™s popularity waning as the then-WWF expanded nationwide, with a hope to go global. Former WWE head honcho Vince McMahon was credited with creating the concept of WrestleMania. The PPVâ€™s name originated from WWFâ€™s lead ring announcer Howard Finkel, as a play on the Beatlemania of the 60s.

As WWFâ€™s inaugural PPV, the first-ever WrestleMania took place in 1985 at Madison Square Garden. Though WrestleMania 1 didnâ€™t manage to outshine the 1985 edition of Starrcade, which had a combined attendance of 30,000 people, it still managed to beat Starrcadeâ€™s debut attendance of 15,000, with over 19,000 people attending WrestleMania 1 in person, setting the stage for a PPV that would go on to become a household name.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Evolution of WrestleMania</h2>
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania I-IV: The Foundation</b></h3>
Even with its debut, WrestleManiaâ€™s core tenet was â€œgo big or go homeâ€. WWF went all out, with a match card featuring wrestling greats like The Iron Sheikh, Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan, Ricky Steamboat, David and Bruno Sammartino, and The Fabulous Moolah. In keeping with what would later become tradition, the flagship marquee event also featured several big names from the era, including boxing legend Muhammed Ali, pianist Liberace, pop sensation Cyndi Lauper, and New York Yankees manager Billy Martin.

The all-round success of WrestleMania 1 saw WWF overtake NWA and AWA (American Wrestling Association). The event was critical to the '80s wrestling boom, which saw a sharp increase in the demand for professional wrestling.

Shortly after, WrestleMania II took the show to another level, simultaneously taking place in three different venues across the country - New York, Chicago, and California. While initially received poorly, as the logistics of organizing a major wrestling event across three venues overtook the promotion, it set the stage yet again for WWF one-upping itself with each edition.

In comparison, WrestleMania III managed to outshine its previous iterations, having broken the record for the largest recorded attendance at an indoor live event in North America with a purported attendance of over 93,000 people, only broken by WrestleMania 32 in 2016. It was also iconic for its matches, with Ricky Steamboat vs Randy Savage, and Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant going down in history as two of the greatest matches in pro wrestling history. While not as iconic as its predecessor, WrestleMania IV featured the first appearance of Donald Trump at a Mania, marking the start of the relationship between the promotion and the Trump Organization.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania V-X: The Golden Era</b></h3>
WrestleMania during the Golden Era was truly something to behold. The promotionâ€™s fame had skyrocketed, effectively cementing itself as a stalwart player in the pro wrestling industry. With the success of WrestleMania came the introduction of pay-per-views like SummerSlam, Royal Rumble, and Survivor Series, meaning that the Golden Era had more to offer throughout the year.

However, WrestleManiaâ€™s popularity never waned with the addition of the new PPVs, as it continued to remain the biggest wrestling event in the country. WrestleMania saw some of the most legendary moments in WWE history in the early â€˜90s. Major feuds between Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage, and Shawn Michaels, aka Mr. WrestleMania, and Razor Ramon managed to outsell competitors in popularity.

The Golden Era of WWE served as a platform to cement the legacies of several WWE legends who have remained a household name till today, including Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, and The Ultimate Warrior. WrestleMania VII also saw the beginning of The Undertakerâ€™s Mania streak that would continue well into the 2010s.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania XI-XX: Attitude Era Impact</b></h3>
WrestleMania during the Attitude Era saw the culmination of several iconic storylines coming to a head at the Grandest Stage of Them All. The PPV reached its peak during this period, with â€˜Stone Coldâ€™ Steve Austin beating Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XIV for the WWF Championship title, marking the first of six title reigns.

This also marked the beginning of the legendary rivalry between Austin and Dwayne â€˜The Rockâ€™ Johnson, the epitome of the Attitude Era. WrestleMania XV saw the first fight between the two pro wrestling stalwarts, where Stone Cold beat The Rock during the main event to win back the WWF Championship belt.

The beginning of the new Millennium also saw the introduction of the first-ever Triangle Ladder match, with the iconic tag teams The Hardy Boyz, The Dudley Boyz, and Edge and Christian going against each other for the WWF Tag Team Championship. This era also saw the first-ever WrestleMania under the WWE at WrestleMania XIX, which also marked the end of Steve Austinâ€™s feud with The Rock.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania XXI-XXX: New Millennium Milestones</b></h3>
In keeping up with becoming bigger and better, WWE introduced the concept of the Money In The Back ladder match at WrestleMania 21, which would become a main fixture in the PLE. This period of WrestleMania managed to rival the Attitude Era, giving us iconic matches with The Undertaker vs Batista at WrestleMania 23 and Ric Flairâ€™s retirement match against Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XXIV.

WrestleMania XXX in particular was something to behold, as The Undertakerâ€™s unbroken 22-year streak was finally broken by Brock Lesnar, rendering the WWE universe in awe. Other moments also include Daniel Bryanâ€™s rise to the top after an initial win against Triple H and a win against Randy Orton and Batista for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania during the 2010s</b></h3>
The latter half of the 2010s saw increased interest in WrestleMania as WrestleMania 32 broke the attendance record previously set by WrestleMania III, with an attendance of over 101,000 people. With WWE itself moving towards organizing events in international venues, this expanded the reach WrestleMania had with fans outside of the States. WrestleMania 35 was the first since 2000 to not feature The Undertaker, but more importantly, was also the first WrestleMania to feature a womanâ€™s main event, with a triple threat match between Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Ronda Rousey.
<h3 style="text-align: center">WrestleMania in the 2020s</h3>
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 36</b></h4>
WrestleMania 36 was a plethora of WrestleMania firsts, with the first-ever edition of the PLE to be held across two nights and the first to not have a live audience due to pandemic restrictions. Considering restrictions, the 2020 iteration of Mania was widely regarded a success, especially in the backdrop of no live audiences, as well as several last-minute changes to the roster to account for potential health risks. This was also heightened by WWE deciding to play with its format, with a Firefly Fun House match with Bray Wyatt taking down John Cena.
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 37</b></h4>
While WrestleMania 36 was an example of WWE making do, WrestleMania 37 saw the promotion come back bigger and better. The 37th iteration of The Show of Shows took place in Tampa, Florida, where the reduction in COVID-19 protocols meant more freedom for WrestleMania to have a live audience, albeit limited capacity and with restrictions to the audience.

This also marked the first WWE event to be livestreamed solely on Peacock, a product of the WWE Networkâ€™s earlier merger with Peacock in March of that year.
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 38</b></h4>
WrestleMania 38 marked the year when WWE returned the Showcase of the Immortals to its full capacity, with over 131,000 people attending over the course of two days. This also led to the evolution of WrestleMania Weekend, with WWE kickstarting the PLE with a special edition of Friday Night SmackDown featuring an Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal. The PLE also saw the surprise return of Cody Rhodes, as he took on Seth Rollins on Night 1, as well as Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar headlining the event on Night 2.
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 39</b></h4>
In its most recent iteration, WrestleMania continues to prove its worth as the biggest pro wrestling event in history, with Mania 39 grossing $21.6 million in ticket sales alone.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Bray Wyatt 2021: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Windham Lawrence Rotunda, better known by his in-ring name Bray Wyatt, is a professional wrestler currently performing on the Raw brand of the WWE. Wyatt is no stranger to the professional wrestling world, being a third-generation wrestler himself.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">His grandfather was WWE Hall of Famer Blackjack Mulligan and his father was Mike Rotunda. Even his uncles Barry Windham and Kendall Windham are great professional wrestlers, with the former also being a WWE Hall of Famer. Bray Wyatt's brother Bo Dallas is also an active WWE performer.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">With the current status of Bray Wyatt as the master of psychological warfare and probably one of the greatest modern era performers, it is hard to imagine that he started his career in the WWE with a below-average character called Husky Harris.</p>
<img class="size-full wp-image-323226 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200724232702/960x0-1-20.jpg" alt="Bray Wyatt" width="960" height="540" />
<p style="text-align: center">This one-dimensional character had no layers and was just a strong man heel due to his size. However, even before this, Wyatt's history begun at Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) in April 2009, where he was part of a tag team with his brother Bo Dallas. The duo even won the FCW tag-team Championship.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">WWE saw some spark in the elder Rotunda, and hence, he was rolled out in the second season of NXT, which worked on a reality show-like platform back then. That's where he was given the in-ring name Husky Harris, while current AEW wrestler Cody Rhodes was his pro.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Harris failed to impress many during his stay in NXT and was eliminated before the finals. However, it was not as if Husky Harris didn't taste any success.</p>
<img class="size-full wp-image-323220 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200724232530/Bray_Wyatt_main.jpg" alt="Bray Wyatt" width="1172" height="1083" />
<p style="text-align: center">Perhaps his most important WWE moment under the character came when he, along with Michael McGillicutty (now Curtis Axel), interfered in a match between Wade Barrett and John Cena, while concealing their identities. The stipulation required Cena to join the Nexus if he lost, which he did, owing to this interference.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Harris and McGillicutty would become parts of the Nexus, giving Harris his main roster debut. However, as the Nexus folded, Harris had no direction on the roster and he was soon sent back to FCW.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">It seems like this was what was required for Rotunda to undergo a creative Renaissance. He reappeared on NXT after FCW was remodeled as the yellow brand in 2012. However, this time, he debuted with a cult-leader character called Bray Wyatt.</p>
<img class="size-full wp-image-323222 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200724232557/maxresdefault-286.jpg" alt="Bray Wyatt" width="1280" height="720" />
<p style="text-align: center">Under this persona, he was given two disciples in the form of Eric Rowan and Luke Harper. It was as if he was a completely different person with his mic skills going up to a supremely intelligent level.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">The new NXT awarded talent, and the Wyatt Family became a smash hit. Their spooky inferences along with references to demon mythology were intriguing to the audiences of Full Sail University. They soon won the NXT Tag Team Championships.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Such was their success that in just one year, the Wyatt Family was promoted to the main roster.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Since then, Bray Wyatt has captivated audiences no matter what hat he has dawned. His cult leader persona saw him feuding with the likes of John Cena, Daniel Bryan, The Undertaker, Randy Orton, the Demon Kane, Chris Jericho, and many more.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">Even after being a fan-favorite, Wyatt never got adequate championship success. That's when he showcased his creative potential as he changed his character yet again in 2019.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">He began airing vignettes where he was shown as a children's show host like Mr. Rogers who had imaginary friends. However, this layered character had a dastardly alter-ego known as the Fiend which was built by the WWE as an unbeatable personality.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">He has already achieved immense success under this persona and continues to impress the audiences.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">Bray Wyatt has <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bray_Wyatt">achieved</a> various milestones in the WWE. Under his earlier character of the cult leader, he has won the WWE Championship once and the tag team championships twice.</p>

Bray Wyatt

Bray Wyatt 2021: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements Windham Lawrence Rotunda, better known by his in-ring name Bray Wyatt, is a professional wrestler currently performing on the Raw brand of the WWE. Wyatt is no stranger to the professional wrestling world, being a third-generation wrestler himself. His grandfather was WWE Hall of Famer Blackjack Mulligan and his father was Mike Rotunda. Even his uncles Barry Windham and Kendall Windham are great professional wrestlers, with the former also being a WWE Hall of Famer. Bray Wyatt&#8217;s brother Bo Dallas is also an active WWE performer. With the current status of Bray Wyatt as the master of psychological warfare and probably one of the greatest modern era performers, it is hard to imagine that he started his career in the WWE with a below-average character called Husky Harris. This one-dimensional character had no layers and was just a strong man heel due to his size. However, even before this, Wyatt&#8217;s history begun at Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) in April 2009, where he was part of a tag team with his brother Bo Dallas. The duo even won the FCW tag-team Championship. WWE saw some spark in the elder Rotunda, and hence, he was rolled out in the second season of NXT, which worked on a reality show-like platform back then. That&#8217;s where he was given the in-ring name Husky Harris, while current AEW wrestler Cody Rhodes was his pro. Harris failed to impress many during his stay in NXT and was eliminated before the finals. However, it was not as if Husky Harris didn&#8217;t taste any success. Perhaps his most important WWE moment under the character came when he, along with Michael McGillicutty (now Curtis Axel), interfered in a match between Wade Barrett and John Cena, while concealing their identities. The stipulation required Cena to join the Nexus if he lost, which he did, owing to this interference. Harris and McGillicutty would become parts of the Nexus, giving Harris his main roster debut. However, as the Nexus folded, Harris had no direction on the roster and he was soon sent back to FCW. It seems like this was what was required for Rotunda to undergo a creative Renaissance. He reappeared on NXT after FCW was remodeled as the yellow brand in 2012. However, this time, he debuted with a cult-leader character called Bray Wyatt. Under this persona, he was given two disciples in the form of Eric Rowan and Luke Harper. It was as if he was a completely different person with his mic skills going up to a supremely intelligent level. The new NXT awarded talent, and the Wyatt Family became a smash hit. Their spooky inferences along with references to demon mythology were intriguing to the audiences of Full Sail University. They soon won the NXT Tag Team Championships. Such was their success that in just one year, the Wyatt Family was promoted to the main roster. Since then, Bray Wyatt has captivated audiences no matter what hat he has dawned. His cult leader persona saw him feuding with the likes of John Cena, Daniel Bryan, The Undertaker, Randy Orton, the Demon Kane, Chris Jericho, and many more.

That&#8217;s when he showcased his creative potential as he changed his character yet again in 2019. He began airing vignettes where he was shown as a children&#8217;s show host like Mr. Rogers who had imaginary friends. However, this layered character had a dastardly alter-ego known as the Fiend which was built by the WWE as an unbeatable personality. He has already achieved immense success under this persona and continues to impress the audiences. Bray Wyatt 2021 Achievements Bray Wyatt has achieved various milestones in the WWE. Under his earlier character of the cult leader, he has won the WWE Championship once and the tag team championships twice. Under his current &#8220;The Fiend&#8221; persona, he has won the WWE Universal Championship twice. Bray Wyatt 2021 Net Worth Bray Wyatt has an estimated net worth of $850,000 as of the year 2021. His annual salary in the year 2018 was around $1 million. This does not include what he earns from pay-per-views as well as merchandise sales.
