The WrestleMania 34 pay-per-view earlier this year in New Orleans, Louisiana generated $175 million in economical impact for the city, according to a study by the Enigma Research Corporation and a report from NOLA.com.

The report notes that WrestleMania 34 generated $23.7 million in federal, state and local taxes, as well as $22 million spent on hotel and other assets in the city, while there was $9.9 million spent by the public at food and bar venues.

Speaking on the news, WWE’s Executive Vice President of Special Events, John P. Saboor, had the following to say, “We are delighted for New Orleans, who welcomed the WWE Universe with open arms. This result reinforces the fact that our fans are coming to our host city earlier, staying later and spending more. When we decide to return, we look forward to creating another set of experiences and memories for those who attend. No two WrestleManias are the same, as our chairman likes to say. 2014 was so big, and then he made it bigger in 2018.”

Meanwhile, Governor John Bel Edwards noted that WWE delivered on their promise and he is hoping to bring WrestleMania back to the city in the future stating, “Yet again, WWE delivered on its promise to offer a spectacular event in New Orleans and a boost to the local economy, I would like to thank the WWE fans from around the world that descended on New Orleans for WrestleMania week. We hope they enjoyed their visit, and more importantly, we hope to bring WrestleMania back to New Orleans in the future.”
