In regards to streaming, I do it often because usually there's only one or two matches on the card I'm even interested in and for everything else I wouldn't mind just reading the results.
But whenever a PPV is built up effectively or it actually looks like a fun show, I'm always willing to find it in my wallet to order the show and prepare to stretch out on the couch to watch. Now that I've started making real money over the past year or so I find myself much more tempted to order events like MITB, Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania (and if I still streamed it but thought the show was awesome I'll try get it on DVD).
Scabs will always exist and always have, but any honest businessman knows that, for the most part, people are totally willing to fork out the money if they know the product is worth it. WWE's PPV schedule is just too crowded and they barely have the time to get me interested in half the events they put on. On top of that, I don't think the U.S. economy has exactly patched up its wounds yet. There aren't a whole lot of people that can afford to order PPV's every month, sometimes even 3 weeks.
Just cut 2 or 3 PPV's from next year's calendar, preferrably the shittier ones. Those extra weeks dedicated to further building up other PPV's will be a valuable trade in the long term.
