Have you ever bought a PPV specifically for an undercard match?
I got to thinking the other day how WWE pushes their main events so hard but often neglects their undercard matches. I read a quote somewhere that said "Undercard matches don't increase buyrates." That got me wondering if that were true or if anyone has bought a PPV because of an undercard match.
If you have, what was the PPV and what was the match? (If you can recall).

Yeah a lot of times. And sometimes its not that i buy it FOR the undercard match, because the main event might be OK, but the undercard matches usually put me over. Like Armageddon has solid main events but i also want to see MVP vs Mysterio

I almost never care about the WWE title feud, so every PPV I get has to have a strong undercard. I bought WM 2000 for the TLC match.

You should of bought Wrestlemania X-7 there was a ladder match tho...and it had the use of Tables, Ladders and Chairs...it's an easy mistake... |

I'm buying Armageddon for Michaels/Kennedy.
There have been numerous times when I have purchased WWE PPVs for under-card matches. During Cena's title reign, I could have given two sh*ts about the main event, so I usually bought the card for one or two of the undercards, and hoped Cena would get beat.
It worked once. New Year's Revolution '06. Damn that was great.
Also, I could really give two sh*ts about Batista. So, I obviously don't watch for his matches.

Almost always. Especially when WCW was around.

Armageddon 2006. The main event was probably one of the worst and pointless matches on the card. Did they really need John Cena & Batista to team up?

I bought Vengeance for the Benoit/Punk match. I was pissed when it didn't happen. Oddly enough another time I bought a WCW PPV because Jarrett and Benoit were supposed to have "Triple Threat Theater" and then Jarrett was hurt and Bret Hart was hurt so that match didn't happen and Benoit beat Sid for the WCW title. Bad luck ordering PPVs just for Benoit.

Benoit is a proven dissapointment  Anywho, I haven't ordered many PPV's lately but most of the PPV's I have ordered had to do with the undercard... especially lately because CM Punk is normally in the first 2 matches... I tend to order PPV's for him... |

I don't know if I ever ordered a ppv for an undercard match, but I did get Taboo Tuesday in 2005 just for Joey Styles making his wwe announcing debut!

The WCW tapes I've purchased were for how great the undercard was and how wrestlecrappy the main events were. So, technically I still bought them for the main events... so... I guess I'd have to say no.
