Does anyone know how much pay-per-views were for certain years? Like today, everything is $39.99 for all the general ppv's. Back in 1999 they were $29.99 for regulars and $34.95 for WrestleMania. I think it would just be interesting to see how prices have changed over the years.

There was a year that wrestlemania was 49.99 back in like 2000 or something. It was like a one time deal they did it at that price.

I never bought a ppv so I wouldn't know to tell you. But I think that $39.99 is way too much when you can buy the dvd for $18 and see the match a day or so after Sunday.
The only way I would consider buying a PPV was if I had a party and each person chipped in for the PPV, that would make it only like $5 for each person which wouldn't be that bad..

When i was 14-18 (1995-1999ish) we would all put down 10 bucks. It would get us the PPV, couple pizza's, soda, candy, and a video game rental which we played after. Great times. |

I am not sure on the exact price but they seem like they have jumped a good $15-20 dollars. I would never pay what they want for Wrestlemania I think it's way too high. I just wait awhile and eventually the DVD's go down in price and you can pick them up pretty cheap, since I watch the programs and already know the outcomes anyway.

I remember WM one year being like 50 bucks. I also remember it being 35 bucks. So it really has changed alot over the years.

That would be so worth it but now it would be like $15 or more per person since the price of everything has gone up. |

The first In Your House's were $19.95 or $19.99, when they were two-hour PPVs, then it got bumped up 10 bucks when they changed to three hour PPVs.

i think it would be a great idea, on the wwe's part, if when you ordered the ppv, the 40 bucks included the dvd, which they would send in the mail when it was released. I think it would boost ppv orders, and would still make a decent profit.

Over The Edge 1998 was like $20 or $25. Like I said before, this $40 monthly crap is a waste, nd $55 for WM? Not even worth it.
