WWE has knocked a big chunk off the price tag for its ultra-exclusive Real American Suite package at WrestleMania 41. Originally listed at $9,500 per person, the package is now available for $6,950—a nearly 30% cut.
While WWE hasn’t provided an official reason for the price drop, it’s hard to ignore that Hulk Hogan’s stock isn’t exactly soaring these days. The WWE Hall of Famer was booed out of the building at the WWE Raw on Netflix premiere on January 6, signaling that his once-unshakable popularity is dwindling. Even within the industry, names like Seth Rollins and D-Von Dudley have openly expressed their disdain for Hogan, with Rollins saying, “He hasn’t done a lot to harbor goodwill in his name over the past few years.”
Adding to the controversy, Hogan recently left fans furious after walking out on a meet-and-greet event in Orange County, NY, without addressing the hundreds who had waited hours to meet him. Some attendees even reported that children were left in tears after being abruptly turned away when Hogan and his team bolted from the event without explanation.
For those still willing to drop nearly seven grand on the Hulkster’s VIP experience, the package includes a two-night luxury suite ticket for WrestleMania, all-inclusive food and beverage service featuring Hogan’s own Real American Beer, and access to WWE World and the WrestleMania Superstore.
The biggest selling point? A meet-and-greet with Hulk Hogan himself, giving fans a chance to snap a photo and shake hands with the WWE legend—assuming he sticks around for it.
With Hogan’s reputation taking hits from both fans and fellow wrestlers, this price cut could be WWE’s way of making the package more enticing. But even at the reduced rate, it’s still a hefty bill—so the real question is, will fans still buy in?
