Surprised about SummerSlam. Probably that was due to people thinking Cena would win. Glad to see MITB being higher than last year.

Proof that the price drop is a must!!!! I know I'll never see $20 WWE PPV's again, but, is $29.99 or $35.99 not enough for your Empire?

Internally Summerslams buy rate is viewed as a diaster.I think its the worst since 95 although I may be wrong on that.

It must be the price. It must be. The actual PPVs have blown the last few years' crap out of the water.

MITB is great news.  SummerSlam being so low is sad.  NOC being only down by 4,000 is not bad considering how much it could have been. |

Money In The Bank still drew a pretty shoddy buyrate. They will not get anything over 200,000 for the non 'Big 4' unless they start charging sub $30. I am not even an American, and IO know they charge far too much for the PPV's.

I still think Money In The Bank this year deserved a lot more buys. |

A price drop will never happen, but it would be so good for everyone if they did do one. I still think that a PPV at half the price they sell them now, would get twice the buys. Even if they made the same amount, more people see the PPV, more people tune in to Raw to see the fallout from what they just watched, and everyone is happy. Its just bad business by WWE IMO, i know its about money, but they seem fine draining every penny they can out of the people they have, instead of broadening the company and growing. The whole Punk summer angle was the first time in years WWE felt the way it did at the time, and i honestly believe that if they produced television like that consistently everything would raise in WWE, merch sales, viewers, ppv buys. Instead they want to try one thing and when it doesn't get instant results they go to something else.

exactly, or lower the amount of PPV's per year. While that is a nice idea, I just don't see it ever happening because unless the PPVs make a loss, they will be better off as they are now. July - 195,000 August - 296,000 September - 161,000 October - 100,000+ October 2 - 100,000+ November - 200,000+Turnover of 1,052,000 buys (approximately) July - PPV August - 0 September - PPV October - 0 November - PPV Each show would have to draw over 300,000 buys to make 100,000 less than what they would have done (approximately) with all them PPVs. Plus you've got a full house of ticket sales, sponsorship and ad revenue X6... It'll never be. It'd be the best thing for the product, without a doubt, but not the best thing financially and whether we like it or not, the wrestling comes second to the finances and shareholders. As much as I'd like to see it, I don't see SurSers getting over 200,000 buys. Maybe brushing it, either way definitely an improvement to last year. |

Summer Slam has gone quite a dip since 2009. I just hope 2012 edition goes up in sales.
