Do you think WWE will ever do a Divas only PPV?

[Jazzy Foot]

With Tits Matches and opportunities to watch the Divas get undressed?

yes

[Simple Fan]

I do think TNA has done a all Knockouts PPV before.

[Jazzy Foot]

Would you approve of masturbation at the matches?

[Simple Fan]

Only in the nose bleeds so it rain jiz

[Mr. Nerfect]

Yes. They should do it in October instead of Hell in a Cell, because it is breast cancer month. They can make all the ropes pink. Charge extra through the Network and donate some of the money to breast cancer research.

Being serious for a moment, I think that's a great idea.

[Mr. Nerfect]

It'd get the WWE and the Network some good press, and it allows the WWE to make more money off their new platform. If people have the WWE Network, they are presumably using it. Most people would accept that the amount of content you get is under-priced, and people have no problem paying for good content. A hike up of the entire Network might scare people off, and people might get upset if all PPVs suddenly come with an extra cost, but doing special shows or special matches and having a small cost applied to them could bring in the WWE a lot of addition funding.

Imagine if Dean Ambrose won the IC Title and then his first wish as champion was to challenge Chris Jericho -- one of the greatest champions of all-time -- to a match in Winnipeg. Promote that, have it take place at a house show, slap a price tag on it, and reap in the benefits. People have the Network to use it. If just half of the Network subscribers would pay $2 to see Jericho vs. Ambrose, then that's $1,000,000 cleared right there.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I suggested in 100,001 replies that the WWE have a donation option available for their PPVs. Whilst I'm sure the WWE could get away with taking their really big shows (the Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, Money in the Bank and possibly SummerSlam) off the Network's free content menu in due time (and a lot of people seem to think that they will eventually do that when they get more original programming up on the Network), I think it could drive a lot of people away. But you could have an option to pay whatever you want for, example, NXT Takeover events. Just get your more likable NXT talent -- like Sami Zayn and Bayley -- to record a little message they can air before them like "Hey guys, this stuff is free to all of you who subscribe to the Network; but we do bust our asses to give you guys the product you want to see -- so let us know we're heading in the right direction if you like what you see. It's up to you: Donate just 50c, or donate $50 if so inclined. Every little bit helps us, the NXT crew, and encourages us to put on an even better show for you. Thanks." I guarantee you that enough of the smarks watching NXT wouldn't mind throwing $5 their way every now and then.

Start with that and then have the option, if a success, become available for WWE PPVs. Add that all-Diva PPV in October and have it come with a compulsory price tag of $6. You want to give Divas a chance? Prove it. Also, you are supporting breast cancer research and doing your bit for how women are perceived, so you won't feel too bad throwing your money into that product. If the event does well, you can release the stats and make a big PR deal out of it. If not, you're still making money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation with the merchandise sales that month and can keep the Network special stats in-house. Add optional donations for Money in the Bank and TLC ("The Superstars risk their careers in matches such as these -- so please help with their Christmas bonuses"), attach one for the Tribute to the Troops show, and donate some of the money to the families of soldiers/mental health for veterans. Very soon you can be bringing in a lot of extra capital.

[Jazzy Foot]

Not sure if they do this but maybe a weekly/monthly best of house shows program particularly if there's an outstanding match, comeback, appearance etc.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Next time Steve Austin does a podcast, slap some money on that. Who wouldn't pay to see Austin interview Shane McMahon? It's unlikely he'll be involved in the WWE with his business ventures in China, but if he's able to do an interview for the Network, I could see it generating a lot of views.

The same goes for one with The Undertaker when he finally retires. Have Bray Wyatt do one with Austin as the lead-up to the Undertaker vs. Wyatt match this year. Have Austin claim that he's doing to get to the bottom of what makes this cat tick. Why challenge The Undertaker? Just who the hell is Sister Abigail? Have Bray stay in character the whole time as Austin asks him all sorts of questions about his time as Husky Harris and what it was like down in NXT training. Wyatt can attack Austin at some point, laying him out, to create not only a buzz, but a "can't miss" vibe to the podcast. Charge $6.16 (the true "Number of the Beast") for it, and I guarantee it could bring in the WWE some extra cash. If the money is spent split evenly three ways between Austin, Wyatt and Vince, then these guys just need to convince 162,338 people to click that little button to make a million each. That's 16.3% of current Network subscribers. Even if they don't get that sort of penetration, that's not bad for a one-off appearance.

There has been some question about what happens to talent's PPV pay nowadays. This would help address that problem. Talent might not get paid as much for traditional PPV specials now, but if they become a big enough deal that people will pay to see them get interviewed by Stone Cold, Chris Jericho, Jim Ross, or whoever they want to bring in, then they can get a big packet that way. Or they can earn the money by getting people to order their "platinum" matches on the Network. They just apparently taped Cesaro vs. Adrian Neville at one of their NXT live events. You don't think there are enough people out there that would pay just $2 to see that match?

I looked for a Cesaro vs. Neville clip from YouTube. 127,263 people have viewed it. That would be $254,526. Split three ways, that's $84,842. Now, granted, those are the views it has received as free content. But even if just everybody who liked it ordered it, then that's 605 paying customers. That's without it being promoted on the Network as a "classic that every WWE fan must watch!". That's an extra $1,210 the WWE makes off that match. That could potentially be an extra $403 that Cesaro and Neville both make off that one match.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Not sure if they do this but maybe a weekly/monthly best of house shows program particularly if there's an outstanding match, comeback, appearance etc.

Something like that could be awesome too. Just a show hosted by Renee Young, because people find her oh so charming (such an asset to the WWE). A look at the live events that week could be quite an entertaining show. House shows traditionally aren't canonical -- but you don't need to put too much spotlight on. Jericho's return against Cesaro and Harper at the most recent string of shows is a perfect example. People would be interested in that. The Cena vs. Rollins stuff at house shows is good too. You can interview talent who tried out a new look or got a tryout...plenty of content.

[Mr. Nerfect]

That seems more like a free show on the Network to me -- but you can use the show to get people hyped about the product and link them to more stuff from it. Have Renee Young talk about the house shows on the actual show, but charge people for the actual Jericho vs. Harper/Cesaro matches.

A network special, yeah. They wouldn't get any PPV buys for it though. Also, they'd have to hold it in a pretty small arena and/or make it relatively short.

The donation for charity thing for the Divas special and Tribute to the Troops, I can see. Though I don't really get why you'd donate the money for a PPV you're already getting instead of just donating it to the charity.

As far the donations for the company itself... they need to just charge whatever people are willing to pay. A billion dollar company asking for donations from people would be really fucking weird.

Close this thread. Egotistical self centered ugly bullshit-faced ass son-of-a-bitch

[Mr. Nerfect]

A two-hour special from the NXT Arena?

[el bobbo]

What they have going on in NXT is actually on par with what they should have going into the future. Men have always been the main draw, but having each woman actually care about being the best wrestler in her division is really cool and makes for awesome storylines.

Maybe in 5-7 years, they can really implement this philosophy on the main roser and have the Divas match on each PPV replicate its implication in NXT.

Hopefully sooner than that, we can get a draw like Ronda Rousey that actually makes the male performers truly have to earn their spot at the top of the card.

[#1-norm-fan]

A two-hour special from the NXT Arena?

Sure. If they could get enough divas relevant at once and could somehow build a decent main event that could keep interest for 15+ minutes. It's odd to think that NXT is way closer to ready for this idea than the main roster is.

[RiX1024]

I think an all-Divas PPV would be a great idea, as long if WWE let them wrestle for more than 3 minutes.

[dingdongyo]

I'd like the idea if they had enough talent and buzz to fill it. But I don't think it will ever happen. Maybe a "Total Divas" special or some stupid shit.

they may do it if tna made any money from there knock out ppv. rember they took there tlc ppv from from tnas hardcore only ppv.

[Mercenary]

So it be ok for Netflix to ask for more money for a final season of a TV show you been binge watching as well?

[CSL]

lol "bullshit faced"

[Mr. Nerfect]

So it be ok for Netflix to ask for more money for a final season of a TV show you been binge watching as well?

Sure. If they can get away with it. I'd say it'd be more akin to charging for an entire show, or the "making of" a show, or a few spin-off episodes/interviews with the stars though.

[DrCrawford]

I probably wouldn't watch it, but then again I really have no interest in any of their PPV's lately.

[Anybody Thrilla]

All this talk about paying more for Network stuff needs to stop. I bought it for ten bucks a month. That's not "free". Shut up.

You shut up.

[Dukelorange]

I think having a Diva PPV would be great during Breast Cancer Month. However to make it stick. The WWE would have to do some things they are not used to doing.

1. Have some storylines lined up so that wins and losses have implications that will effect the WWE Universe outside of the Divas title match. Do an angle that If Naomi beats Nattie, the Usos get a tag title shot.

2. Have NXT divas participate and mix it up with WWE divas. I don't think there are enough quality wrestling divas to put on a 90 min show. Add the NXT divas and you stand a fighting chance.

3. Bring in former divas. They don't have to wrestle. How cool would it be for Stacy to ref a match between Summer and Alicia Fox and have a leg off.

All in all it has to have a little for everybody. Some serious wrestling. Title defenses. WWE Universe changing matches. Some comedy.

Hope this works...

Tits. Don't forget tits.

[Droford]

There should be an all black superstars ppv also known as New Day vs Prime Time Players in a 3 hour iron men match

[Jazzy Foot]

Tits. Don't forget tits.

Hell yeah
