No, they aren't giving people their monies worth. They're taking the public for granted, hence the weak Championship match at Wrestlemania. (HHH vs. Orton)

Their No-DQ match on Raw was FAR better...even though I didn't care for the lame interference ending.

Promos/Backstage/etc. effectively IS wrestling... (Well at least in terms of WWE.)

Rightly so, It's not ring time specifically that seperates PPV from TV.... They don't call it a PAY-off on an angel for nuthin'.

Put simply, knowing I could download them for free if I chose, I'd soon stop paying for PPVs if they didn't entertain me as much as I deem they should (irrespective of individual cards).


Edit: Had a double take on the WM25 stat though.... That's fuckin appalling... And yet again begs the question... Where the hell did all the time go? Can't blame it all on Kid Rock... You could go to a full Kid Rock performance, see a 2 hour set and still have time to cram in a 2 hour wrestling card.... Seriously, WDF????

^^That's exactly what I was thinking. The only other extended none wrestling segment was Austin if I remembe correctly, so I'm assuming that was a typo of some kind.

They always make entrances really epic for Wrestlemania, so there's that. Plus the Jericho/Rourke segment was pretty significant. And the HOF/Stone Cold stuff, which was worth the time imo. So while the number was smaller than it should have been, sometimes pure numbers like that can be deceiving.

Actually, I stand corrected, they are actually doing that Khali shit on Backlash

Really, I would have to say in between, most of the time on PayPerViews on the Wrestling and the video packages, pretty much all that. The video packages take up at at least 1/4 of the time on a PPV. So really, it is mostly wrestling/entrances and video packages with a few segments when some can get really boring. They are not giving them their monies worth and tbh, it is a lot of money involved.
