Speaking of shows we don't talk about much, Impact this week was taped in England, in front of TNA's largest crowd ever.
(God that sounds like a setup for a punchline but I'm serious) Impact on the road is always awesome, and with an English crowd it should be a fun show. -- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://bryandanielson.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/photo3.jpg |

I like all the self-referential moments about the show's weird status, like when Titus turned heel because the season had gone on so long that his Redemption Points were now useless, or when Bateman and Maxine basically come to the conclusion that the entire show is some form of eternal damnation that they're stuck in forever so they may as well dominate it.

I like the disconnect between who's expected to be on Superstars and who's expected to be on NXT.
On Superstars, it's presented as a rare treat when a guy like Ted DiBiase wrestles on the show. On NXT, it's presented as a rare treat when a guy like Heath Slater wrestles on the show. -- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://bryandanielson.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/photo3.jpg |

| JaKyL25 02/01/12 5:14:00 PM #69 | From: GTM | #067 UFC PPVs cost the exact same as WWE PPVs: $45 SD/$55 HD. Boxing PPVs generally run higher I think. I don't follow boxing much but I do know that when they have a card they feel is PPV worthy they charge out the ass for it. As far as which sport can get the biggest buyrates for an individual event goes, boxing is still king, although they can only pull it off a couple times per year. Mayweather/Pacquiao when/if it happens will probably do the biggest PPV buyrate of this decade over wrestling/MMA/boxing combined. But for the most part, boxing's equivalents to the minor WWE PPVs happen on Showtime/HBO. -- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://bryandanielson.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/photo3.jpg |

And I think the crux of my question is this:
Is it just a general "No 3-hour wrestling show period, no matter how good, is worth $55 of my money" thing, or is it "The show is not likely to be good enough to be worth $55, but if it was better, it might be." And then if you answer the former, what's the highest amount of money you would pay for a 3-hour wrestling show if it was the best card ever constructed. For Biscuit that seems to be $20. -- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://bryandanielson.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/photo3.jpg |

WWE sent out a survey somewhere asking about the Royal Rumble, why you did or did not buy it, did you enjoy it, etc.
Since I know that I am one of few B8ers to purchase PPVs regularly, I'll post their question (plus response options) about why you don't because I am curious to see your responses as well. -Due to the economy, I've limited my spending on WWE pay-per-view. -The announced matches did not interest me. -I was not interested in the main event participants. -I was unsatisfied with previous WWE pay-per-view purchases. -I preferred to read the results online. -Storylines leading into the Royal Rumble did not interest me. -I opted to watch other non-WWE pay-per-views in January. -I rarely purchase any WWE pay-per-views -I tried to order the pay-per-view, but couldn't due to technical problems. -I was satisfied learning the results on TV. -Everything I need to see is available on WWE's weekly TV shows. -I'm generally less interested in WWE. -I've already spent my allotted expenditures on WWE pay-per-views -The matches were similar to previous pay-per-view events. -I didn't know the date or time of the event. -I was not available to watch the event. -I thought the match outcomes would be too predictable. -WWE's TV programs were not focused enough on Royal Rumble. -I preferred to watch Royal Rumble clips on YouTube. Which ones mostly apply to you? -- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://bryandanielson.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/photo3.jpg |

| JaKyL25 02/01/12 7:37:00 AM #490 | From: SmartMuffin | #488 Yep, the roster was very thin at the top in 1998 too, thinner than it is now. I'm not denying that there's a crapload of TALENT today, just that there's no one outside of Cena/Orton/Punk who has been positioned as "Well this guy is clearly dominant, anyone who conquers them must be pretty incredible" the same way that Austin conquered Bret, HBK, and Taker. Whenever someone like Wade or Del Rio gets any momentum, they get it all swept out from under their feet before they can solidify it. Split brands in 1998 would have been awful. (you forgot Big Show on your list of new World Champs over the next 2 years [and Vince but that's Vince]) Of course, every name you listed today COULD be positioned as a strong main-eventer. That's what they're working on now with CM Punk, and they're doing a good job thus far, Triple H hiccup aside. But you're right, it takes strong, consistent booking, which is not something WWE is known for. -- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://bryandanielson.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/photo3.jpg |
