to Converge on New York City on March 14, 2004

STAMFORD, Conn., Sep 27, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) --  World Wrestling
Entertainment(TM) said today that all available seats were gone in
matter of minutes when tickets for WrestleMania(R) XX officially went
on sale today at 10 a.m. at Madison Square Garden and Ticketmaster.
More than a thousand WWE fans gathered at the MSG box office early
this morning in hopes of snagging tickets to WWE's premier annual
event, which will be seen by millions around the world on
pay-per-view.

A capacity crowd comprised of fans from 16 countries and 34 states is
now set to attend WrestleMania XX at MSG, which will be held on
Sunday, March 14, 2004, and seen live on pay-per-view by residents of
more than 90 countries.

"Let the celebration begin," declared Kurt Schneider, WWE's Executive
Vice President, Marketing upon learning of the ticket sale results.
"WrestleMania XX's return to Madison Square Garden is going to be the
best of them all. We want to thank our fans around the world for their
support of WrestleMania XX. This will be a great event for WWE, a
great event for our loyal fans, and a great event for the city of New
York."

All available tickets, ranging in price from $54.50 to $754.50 (where
you can sit ringside and keep your commemorative WrestleMania XX
ringside chair), were committed in a matter of minutes between
Internet orders and the line gathered to buy tickets at the MSG box
office. Schneider noted that some additional tickets might be released
closer to the event once staging requirements are determined.

Madison Square Garden, "The World's Most Famous Arena," has been an
integral part of WrestleMania history. Vince McMahon(TM), WWE
Chairman, held the first WrestleMania at MSG in 1985, and the Garden
also hosted WrestleMania X in 1994. Three generations of McMahons have
promoted successful boxing and professional wrestling events at the
Garden for more than 80 years. Vince McMahon was recently inducted
into the MSG Walk of Fame, following in the footsteps of his father,
who was inducted previously into the MSG Hall of Fame.
