WWE Pay Per View (1985)
WWE Pay Per View is a 1985 action & adventure series created by Vince McMahon. It stars Paul Levesque, Mark Calaway and Michael Coulthard.
For four decades, WWE's pay-per-view events have been where the storylines pay off: the grudges settle, the titles change hands, and the spectacle goes widescreen. It started with WrestleMania in 1985, staged at Madison Square Garden before more than 19,000 fans and beamed to over a million more on closed-circuit television. The classic Big Four, Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series, anchor a calendar that grew from a handful of shows to a monthly ritual.

A few thoughts on WWE Pay Per View
The theater of the ring translates well to the screen. WrestleMania XL Saturday and its Sunday counterpart capture the modern spectacle at full scale, with all the entrances, stakes, and crowd noise. The 1971 film The Wrestler, by contrast, looks at the bruised human cost behind the showmanship and the bright lights.
