I'm starting to feel weird for not having particularly strong feelings about Daniel Bryan.

Is it just because I'm not familiar with his indy work? Or because strong kicks don't do too too much for me ( or maybe I just feel that way because I watched more than 2 Davey Richards Matches )

For the new topic

http://www.youtube.com/user/WWEFanNation/featured

WWE's YouTube relaunch is go today, with 4 premiere episodes (thus far) of their new weekly shows.

I'm guessing that by the end of the day today we get debuts for 8 of the 9 shows, obviously you can't rush ZTLIS!

Based on these premieres

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

I guess the economy and limited spending. But I mean, WWE PPVs have always been too much for me to bother buying.

Where is the tipping point for you, personally? At what price would you consider a purchase?

--
Thank you, Eddie Guerrero.
http://bryandanielson.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/photo3.jpg

I bought 'em pretty regularly when they were around $30. I'd probably give WWE $20 for a high quality PPV stream if I wanted to watch the show. Hell, I give ROH $15, and their stream kinda sucks!

I'm pretty serious about chocobos.

$55 is "around $30" if you expand your viewpoint out a long way. <_<

--
Thank you, Eddie Guerrero.
http://bryandanielson.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/photo3.jpg

I'd say anything more than $20 is not even worth me considering.

--
Xbox GT: PrivateBiscuit1
Down with Zhang. Let there be Biscuit!

I buy two PPVs a year - RR and WM. Every other year (give or take) there will be something else they sell me on, like TLC last year. $55 is a lot of money for 2.5-3 hours, especially when it's every month and very little ends up being "can't miss". I think 20-25 a month and I would potentially buy an additional 6 (or so).

Walter: No, Donny. These men are cowards.

UK we pay 15 quid or a little over 20 bucks.

We really get a good here.

--
Dr voltchball - best in the world.

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

The way I gauge it is that movies are already worth roughly $12, and they're about 1.5-2 hours long. Hence, if I'm getting a bit more entertainment in 2.5-3 hours, I'd be willing to pay maybe $20 at the most.

--

How about this.

Would you pay 55 bucks for a show that could be as good as X-7?

But even a mediocre wrestling PPV is better than 95% of movies!

I could probably be coerced into $50 for, like, an awesome WM or something.

$30 I might buy a major PPV every so often if I was interested.

$10 is the point I think where I start buying them more than a couple times a year or so.

More the former, though there would certainly be a few dream cards that I'd buy no matter the price. Compared to other mediums, that is a lot of money to drop down on a product, and you're not even getting to see it live. I don't mind paying a premium price for a premium product; I go to a lot of concerts, and most are in the $20-35 range, but I will pay higher for my favourite artists (Tom Waits, Lou Reed, Godspeed You! Black Emperor) or for artists I really enjoy but don't tour that often if ever (Radiohead, Prince, Leonard Cohen). The WWE doesn't offer a premium product, they charge an enormous amount for what they offer, and there's little discrepancy in price. I don't mind if the big four are priced high, but I do mind that a PPV every three to six weeks costs $50+.

I'd rather give that money to promotions I routinely enjoy, anyway. I could buy a CHIKARA DVD, an ROH PPV, and a PWG DVD for the price WWE charges for one show.
