WrestleMania 29 (billed in print ads as WrestleMania NY/NJ) was the twenty-ninth annual WrestleMania professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by WWE, held on April 7, 2013 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. It drew 80,676 fans, which became the second highest attended event in the history of WWE after WrestleMania III. The event was the fifth WrestleMania to be held outdoors (after IX, XXIV, XXVI and XXVIII), but the first to be held outdoors in a cold-weather city. The main event was John Cena challenging WWE Champion The Rock, also seeking to avenge his loss to The Rock at WrestleMania XXVIII. Also featured was CM Punk versus The Undertaker, concluding a storyline revolving around Paul Bearer's death and The Undertaker's WrestleMania winning streak. The penultimate match was Triple H versus Brock Lesnar in a No Holds Barred match; if Triple H lost, he would have to retire. This was the fifth WrestleMania in the New York metropolitan area; WrestleMania I, X, and XX were held at Madison Square Garden, and a portion of WrestleMania 2 was held at Nassau Coliseum. It was the third WrestleMania held in the state of New Jersey after WrestleMania IV and V, both of which were held at Trump Plaza/Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=WrestleMania 29 to be held in New Jersey at MetLife Stadium )〕 ==Production== Tickets went on sale on November 10, 2012, during which WWE set a first-day sales record of 52,029 tickets, beating the WrestleMania X8 record of 51,620 tickets. Partly due to increased ticket prices, WWE also set a first-day revenue record of more than $10 million, which topped WrestleMania XXVIII's previous record of $6.3 million. For the first time, WrestleMania 29 was streamed on mobile devices via the WWE app and on Xbox Live.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/29/xbox-samsung-smart-tvs-26101595 )〕 WrestleMania's set featured replicas of several New York City landmarks, including the Brooklyn Bridge and Empire State Building at the top of the entrance ramp, and the Statue of Liberty on a podium above the ring. The ring aprons featured the WrestleMania logo on the Empire State Building; the ropes and ring posts were white. Sean Combs performed a medley of tracks during the event, and Living Colour performed "Cult of Personality" as CM Punk made his way to the ring. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WrestleMania 29」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
