#2. Once in a lifetime 2
When The Rock vs John Cena was announced for WrestleMania 28, it was the first time a WrestleMania main event was announced a full year in advance. There was a lot of excitement about it because it was a genuine spectacle of a match. The current generation vs the old one and it was a dream match that was a massive attraction, drawing not just WWE's, but pro wrestling's highest-ever PPV buyrate at roughly 1.3 million buys.
That was a huge success and even though it was advertised as "Once in a Lifetime", WWE did this knowing well that it was a false advertisement, as The Rock had already signed on to wrestle at WrestleMania 29 as well.

While the match wasn't great, the coronation wasn't great and all of that, the reality is that it was still a smashing success, drawing a reported 1.1 million PPV buys.
It is ironic, however, that the WWE still needs yesteryear superstars like the Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin to draw big crowds and grab eye balls at major events. They need to ensure that the current crop of wrestlers do the heavy lifting for the brand.
