It's not my fault if none of you listen to radio shows or read.

St. Jimmy 04-18-2012 06:40 PM

I'm not sure you can read.

Swiss Ultimate 04-18-2012 06:52 PM

Wow, Jimmy. Thought you were supposed to be calming down. You look like a real idiot here.

Until we see profit margin for this thing there's no way we'll know if this is a success in terms of money. That said, breaking records is at the very least good for business considering the fact that so many people have tuned out.

I can only imagine one scenario where not meeting the "projected" numbers but still breaking their previous records qualifies as a failure. If they spent more on The Rock (who by the way never "drew" like he did at Mania so saying "1.3 for the Rock" is not very good is subjective if we're giving you credit and outright silly if not) and the PPV combined and that profit did not meet or exceed the average Wrestlemania profit keeping with inflation.

So go read one of those "news sites" and get back to us, okay?

DeathtotheSwiss This message is hidden because DeathtotheSwiss is on your ignore list.

St. Jimmy 04-18-2012 06:56 PM

I assume DtTS is agreeing with me.

For you, Jimmy. Also, by radio shows, we're you referring to Ryan Clark and his online radio show?

Swiss Ultimate 04-18-2012 07:07 PM

So he's saying that I got to him?

I think so. You should never question the Gospel according to Meltzer.

More people than TNA.

Swiss Ultimate 04-18-2012 08:43 PM

If you like something, what does it matter if you're in the majority of people?

Oh wait, you're a wrestling hipster...holy shit.

James Steele 04-18-2012 08:48 PM

I'm so happy I created the term "wrestling hipster" and that it has gotten over.

Swiss Ultimate 04-18-2012 08:51 PM

For the record more people care about Ring Ka King than ROH and TNA combined.

VSG 04-18-2012 09:25 PM

Typical liberal handing out incomplete facts. Different nations, different comparisons.

Official WrestleMania buyrate is in: 1 Million, 214 Thousand.

711,000 North American Buys.

This was not as great as a number as WWE expected.

St. Jimmy 05-24-2012 08:37 AM

Also, I fucking told you.

VSG 05-24-2012 08:41 AM

Really? 1.214 vs 1.3?

Also, Extreme Rules estimated to have sold more than double the number from last year so all's well.

St. Jimmy 05-24-2012 08:42 AM

Extreme Rules bombed non-domestically, which was another setback

VSG 05-24-2012 08:45 AM

The international buy for Extreme Rules is supposedly almost the entire buy from last year. Pray explain your point.

FFS, if I expect $250 for my birthday and I only get $200 I'd still be pretty happy especially if I've really only ever gotten $150 prior.

Gertner 05-24-2012 04:56 PM

Extreme Rules last year did 104,000 buys. This year it did 254,000.

Blow me you fat indy pig.

Droford 05-24-2012 05:07 PM

So obviously Lesnar = Ratings

get him back on tv and give him another huge check pronto!

XL 05-24-2012 05:09 PM

Can someone remind me what Jimmy's point was/is?

Streamer 05-24-2012 06:12 PM

He believes that WrestleMania XXVIII was a colossal failure.
