I'll upload the logo soon

I took a screenshot of the WM25 logo and hopefully will add it later today unless someone else beats me.

Darn beat me to the article. Meepboy (talk) 20:55, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Are we sure that real and is it too early to know what the theme song is Supermike(talk) 20:45 April 7 2008 —Preceding comment was added at 22:50, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It really was played on the advert, but whether it will eventually become the theme song only time will tell. As a matter of fact, the Reliant Park's website already has the advert with the song dubbed out. -- Oakster Talk 10:32, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Odds are there will be a new song, WWE likes songs within a years old these days for WM. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.109.37.174 (talk) 13:51, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

April 5? Update the results it's already late —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.145.125.100 (talk) 11:29, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since WrestleMania XXv is scheduled for 2009, I don't think it's late at all. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 16:31, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Date for Wrestlemania 25

Ive just gone onto wwe.com and it says on there upcoming ppv's that Wrestlemania will be on 03.05 so may it be changed or may it be considered a mistake by the wwe?? you know spelling error kind of thing but with numbersDeadman lastride666 (talk) 13:56, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just checked and it says 4.05 on their site. Must have been a error when you checked. TJ Spyke 16:17, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah i just checked it again it back to the 4.05 so it was an error just wanted to be sure though thanks for clearing it upDeadman lastride666 (talk) 16:03, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tickets go on sale...

September 20, according to WWE.com and there is a new logo as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.181.139.107 (talk) 04:10, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but the new logo is not the official logo, its just a promotional logo, unless stated otherwise in the future by WWE.--S_RX 01:09, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Date

I'm not sure why this was deleted from the main article, but I just wanted to point it out: Although WWE's promotional materials for the event bill it as the "25th anniversary" of Wrestlemania, it is in fact only the 24th anniversary since the first event took place in March of 1985 (it is the 25th occurance of the event, but it has been only 24 years since the first). Philliplybrand (talk) 00:43, 13 September 2008 (UTC)PL[reply]

Anniversary also refers to the celebration of an occurrence of an event, thus being 25 WM's and the 25th anniversary of WrestleMania.--S_RX 01:09, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Misuse of the the term "anniversary"

According to the current Wikipedia article for the term "anniversary," Wrestlemania 25 will actually be the 24th anniversary of the event. The first Wrestlemania took place in March of 1985, and 2009 - 1985 = 24. 2009 will mark the 25th occurance of the event, but the inagural occurance of an event (1985) is not the first anniversary. The first anniversary of Wrestlemania was in 1986. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Philliplybrand (talk • contribs) 01:31, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So what's your point? It's just yet another error in WWE's marketing, these mistakes have happened before and theu'll happen again. Why is this particular mistake notable enough for mention here? -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 04:43, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Third opinion

This is rather like the "year zero" debate. There will always be two opinions on it. I think that the reader is the important thing in an encyclopedia:we build it for them to read it. As such, if the company and those involved in the event call the event the 25th Anniversary, then that's what the article should state. Why I feel this is a) to avoid confusion for the reader (Poster says 25th, Wikipedia says 24th ??!!??) and b) it is the name of an event. If the Superbowl series decided that they were going to call the next Superbowl, Superbowl 200; it'd raise some eyebrows, but it'd be perfectly legal. AS such, the term becomes marketing and if that's what they call it, that's what they call it. We can have a private opinion, just like the year zero debate. :-) Fr33kman^{talk APW} 05:07, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Main Event

It has been Roumored The Undertaker vs HBK —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.211.174.113 (talk) 20:38, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes rumoured. We need a reliable source to add it to the article. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 17:22, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Logo

The current logo is not the one that is shown, that logo hasn't been used since March. The new logo has been used on new advertising and has been seen on Raw - therefore how is still the grey logo the current logo? Cookfan (talk) 13:46, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

From what I understand, the blue logo is not the official logo. But, the image is already in use. I am unsure whether it should stay like that or not because I uploaded the same image and put in on the article, but it was remove because it is not the official logo. So, I don't think it is actually the official logo. SAVIOR_SELF .777 03:45, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have reset the logo to the original Wrestlemania XXV logo, but if there is a consensus to change it back to the Wrestkemania 25 logo, then please by all means let me know and change it. Thanks and Happy Editing! Hairy Perry 14:51, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus

Ok lets come up with an agreement for the logo is it the Wrestlemania 25 logo or the Wrestlemania XXV. I'm tired of all this edit warring over this logo, so lets come up with a consensus on which one we will use to stop this edit warring on this logo, please and thank you. Hairy Perry 15:38, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Logo

The new logo is the one that has the "25th Anniversary" on it. On the October 20, 2008 episode of Raw, promos for WrestleMania had that logo and not the one presented the night of WMXXIV. Also, on WWE.com, they call WMXXV.."The 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania" which coincides with the logo. --S_RX 21:49, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Only is used for ticket promotion I never seen it that did not mention tickets if you wanna be fair how about this: we don't use neither we wait until WWE launches the subpage (example:http://www.wwe.com/shows/cybersunday/) so what do you say? SuperSilver901 (talk) 22:39, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No because the official logo was presented this Monday on Raw, which you can see here at 01:25. I also got a screen image of it for you, [1].--S_RX 22:50, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I didn't watch Raw last night because it was so horrible it enough proof for me : ) SuperSilver901 (talk) 00:44, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is this event going to be officially called WrestleMania XXV, WrestleMania 25, or WrestleMania: 25th Anniversary? ViRaKhVaR321 04:01, 4 November 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Virakhvar321 (talk • contribs)

I'm seeing them use "25th Anniversary of WrestleMania" more often than anything else, especially on WWE.com. Jeff Silvers (talk) 17:11, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Event title

"25th Anniversary of WrestleMania" seems to be used the most, I've only ever seen WrestleMania XXV used during WM XXIV. Luther Hull (talk) 01:38, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Right from the top of my head (I am a little busy with some last minute assignments for school right now), WWE's front page uses WrestleMania XXV. TJ Spyke 18:33, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed with Spyke, the chronological name of this event is "WrestleMania 25" or "WrestleMania XXV," as per World Wrestling Entertainment.--S R X 21:59, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

This page suggests otherwise: WWE.com the weekend in general is being referred to as WrestleMania XXV but the event itself is being referred to as the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania. Luther Hull (talk) 17:32, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

But thats not the official website, wait until further confirmation.--S R X 22:57, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Its WWE's official website what more do you want? The event's not called WrestleMania XXV, hence why its not on the logo. It's either called "25th Anniversary of WrestleMania" or "WrestleMania 25". Surely that's not difficult to see. Luther Hull (talk) 14:59, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
