I can understand the time constraint cautions. They don't want a Halloween Havoc '98 situation on their hands.

Right. Forgot that Halloween Havoc '98 is remembered for more than one thing >_>.
Basically, they don't want the PPV to go over the time limit, since PPV providers only provide a certain amount of time for the show. If it goes over, then the feed gets cut off, and we are stuck not knowing what happened. Though now that I think about it, didn't WCW actually broadcast the Goldberg/DDP match on ESPN or CNN right after the PPV was cut off? I seem to recall actually watching that match on that channel. -- http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/61035294 - My MST3K Watchthrough topic. ... Copied to Clipboard!

From: Jakyl25 | #350 So, it was the culmination of a 2 year journey, and that was the only way to put over Shawn like they did. Have him end in the Sharpshooter for over a minute without tapping, they can't do that in a normal match. But with the hour long time limit they could. It gave Shawn this aura, and then when he hits double SCM, BANG. No build up in Wrestling history has ever been capped like that was, none of them. It was the perfect match for what it was. -- From: Regaro_Ukiera | MWC is god-tier ... Copied to Clipboard!

- WWE's latest business figures include a preliminary estimate buyrate for the Elimination Chamber PPV. The figures estimate the buys at 180,000, down from 199,000 in 2011 and 285,000 in 2010.
Either they actually follow through with WWE Network and change the PPV model, or else SOMETHING drastic is going to have to be done within the next couple years. This is getting alarming. EDIT: Or they can just blame The Miz. -- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://bryandanielson.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/photo3.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

The funny thing is that even with all these drops, their literal goal with Wrestlemania is to "break the all-time wrestling buyrate record (currently held by Wrestlemania 23)."
They are actually using 1,250,000 buys as the barometer as to whether the show was a success or not. I hope all these people that didn't buy the other PPVs have been saving up! -- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://bryandanielson.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/photo3.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think Miz's problem is that he was exposed after a while for the one trick promo pony he was, and then his ring work got stale and sloppy shortly after. So basically, no love is given to Miz until he quits sucking.

I can't imagine buying a pay-per-view where the participants for the two biggest matches are Triple H, Undertaker, John Cena, and The Rock.
There is not a single way to book those four into two main event matches that I would be satisfied with.

edwardsdv 03/25/12 6:19:00 PM #389: |
Honestly Triple H and The Rock could have a story REMARKABLY similar to both of the builds the two main events we DO have are getting. Rock comes back and is pissed that wrestling isnt as good now, only instead of blaming the face ofthe company(Cena), he goes after the new boss (Triple H).
He goads Trips into trying to make everything better through the year and constantly berates him with how hes not good enough, nothing he does can even COMPARE to when he and Trips were the topdogs (Austin doesnt exist in kayfabe during this) and he challenges Trips to a match at Mania to remind him of what GOOD wrestling programs look like. Trips tries to refuse by playing heel to the crowd ( for being a coward) yet face to the smarks saying this shouldn't be about Trips and Rock, for the good of the future of the company which HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR, Punk and Jericho need to be the stars not he and Rock. Rock calls him a coward and...actually with no HBK im not sure what the catalyst for Trips finally accepting would be. Point is this actually sounds like a better year long build than Cena/Rock and a better old-timers match than Taker/Trips by using the best of both builds. EDIT: sadly the build here practically requires Rock to return as an authority figure which just isnt possible. -- http://img.imgcake.com/nio/81edpngej.png The one and only Underdog Millionaire and UCA CORPORATE Champion ...
