Honestly haven't given a damn about so many recent PPV's, yet business appears to be going fine, if not the best it's been in years. For all our love of the CM Punk angle last year, it barely made a dent buyrate wise compared to this year.

Looks like whatever's tuning me away from the product is getting others to tune in. Guess I'm really am no longer the target market.
