Trimming PPV Fat

[Charismatic Edge]

I remember when there were only 2 ppvs a year and it was a BIG deal. I noticed there's still 13 ppvs scheduled this year. Too many. I never get more than 5 or 6 a year. It's too much money and I feel inundated by feuds that end too quickly or rushed from the start. I think cutting a couple would help.

 

[str8edgepunk]

I know what you mean. The amount of money I shell out for wwe ppvs is ridiculous. I agree that 5 - 6 ppvs a year is enough and they should also cut the new gimmick ppvs.

 

[CenaMark54]

I completely agree with you. The feuds just aren't as special now as they were. Remember the days when you had to wait months for Hogan to get his revenge? When it finally happened it was something special.

This is partly the fault of viewer attention spans nowadays. People just aren't going to wait around for 6 months to see something culminate. They will get bored and tune into one of the thousands of other media entities out there today.

 

[Charismatic Edge]

^^^You're very much correct. The last time I recall a long build up for a feud was Sting and Hogan from late 1996- late 1997. Fans were eating it up!

10 should be the limit.
NOBODY is going to pay 40-50$ 13 times a year.
Fucking Blue!

I just ordered WM for $65 bucks! Thats good enough spending for the year

 

[the408kid]

I just ordered WM for $65 bucks! That will do good for this whole year

That's the only wrestling ppv I would ever consider ordering.

I've been saying this for years.

Here's a solution, let's go back to the early '90's format:
January- Royal Rumble
April - Wrestlemania
June - KOTR
August - Summer Slam
Novmeber - Survivor Series

Like it but I'd put one more in their
September - Night of Champions or Backlash after Mania

^^^Night of Champions should be a free tv show. It's a good idea but it never seems strong enough to get me to plunk down 40 bucks.

Here in the UK i order whatever ppv is on sky box office. that is about 9 a year. We get about 3-4 free a year. I record the ppv on a dvd and go hafds with my mate so he gets it the next day. So im not always paying full.

Yeah but sky made a new deal so most ppvs are gonna be on box office from now on. At least sky only charges £15 for them.

 

[LKP]

Are they all PPV's now? Cause there is normally a few that are not SBO?

 

[Doomsday]

There should be Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, Night of Champions, Summerslam, Survivor Series & Tables Ladders and Chairs.
