14 PPV's in 2004

[Shaggy]

This was on the main page here at tpww.net---

As reported earlier, WWE will run 14 PPVs this year with two in June and two in October. The two June PPVs will be on June 13th in Louisville [RAW PPV] and June 27th in Norfolk [SD! PPV]. They will then have their July PPV on the 11th in Hartford [RAW PPV]. In October, they will have a PPV on the 10th [SD! PPV] and one on the 19th [RAW PPV]. The show on the 19th will be an experimental Tuesday PPV. Smackdown will either be taped on Wednesday or air live that week. The plan is also to have all WWE PPVs become PPVs in the U.K. as well once WWE's current deal with BSKYB expires later this year. In the past, some of WWE's PPVs aired on free TV in the U.K

Ok am I the only one who doesnt like this. I dont want to buy 2 ppv's on one month. And on a Tuesday. What kind of stuff is that. They should just stay with one. I see what WWE wants to do by hopefully getting to where every month they have a ppv for both smackdown and Raw but that doesnt really make sense. I guess Vince wants more money. If it was up to me they shoud just stay with both people having the same PPV like it used to be and how the big PPV's are. That is the only original thing for me. Well that was my opinion, so now lets here yall.

Personally I'd prefer WWE to go back to the big four!

Like I've said before... fuc</>king stupid idea...

Hmm, no one's buying our PPVs anymore... MAKE THEM BUY MORE THEN!!!

[Scarface]

This sucks so hard. An extra Raw and smackdown. Big fuc</>king whoop.

[The CyNick]

Here's the deal; PPVs is the largest profit centre for the WWE's bottom line. so as long as there isn't a drastic reduction in buys, they will still make money off the deal. If you do 12 PPVs at an average of 250,000 buys, you need about 215,000 buys if you run 14 PPVs, which is likely. Its all about PPVs being so profitable that they might as well run as many as possible.

Consider this, back when there was a WCW and an ECW, people were buying up to 3 PPVs, and at least 2 PPVs a month without blinking an eye. Now, even with the increase, you still have half the number of PPVs as there were with WCW and ECW.

It makes sense business wise. If they find that PPV drop off significantly, then they would likely drop back the number of PPVs, but I dont see that happening.

Haha yes, **** the Brits.

[Mike the Metal Ed]

Yeah, fuc</>k us for staying loyal to Sky, paying them £40 a month for the privalege to live PPVs

[Ricky]

We have a wrestling channel which is free though, so if all WWE PPV's really go to PPV then everyone here will just turn to TWC and WWE will lose most of their UK fans.

[Champion of Europa]

No fair. :mad:

You're supposed to pay for the PPVs, and go through the same suffering that other countries go through. Not get a wrestling channel. :mad:

[Ricky]

Haha sorry what did you say, fu</>ck who?

[Champion of Europa]

Haha sorry what did you say, fu</>ck who?

I said "**** the Brits"

Turns out, we're the ones being fu</>cked. :'(

[SUPREMO]

So what if we get PPV free in the UK live with it. Any way we have to pay some PPV's like the Royal Rumble and the U.K PPV's.

[OssMan]

Hmmm.... i bet i can go to the Smackdown PPV in Norfolk cause its Columbus day weekend...I'm thinking it might be good because by October i have a feeling that Raw and Smackdown will have some rivalry shit or something like that and something might happen at the PPV with Raw. Even if it isn't good I'd still want to go. Plus I was born in Norfolk :cool:

[Corkscrewed]

It shouldn't hurt them, actually. We'll see how it goes, but this is a smart BUSINESS move. Whether it pays off or not will remain to be seen.

Christ, I'm seriously with Rob Harvey on this one... they are NOT FREE... we pay Sky 40 fuc</>king quid a month, which is more than enough to entitle us to a non-PPV live WWE show every month.

[Boondock Saint]

What is "quid" anyway? Is it just slang, like "bucks"?
