WWE's Vengeance pay-per-view event on October 23, 2011 garnered 130,000 buys overall—70,000 in North America and 60,000 overseas.

With the exception of the disastrous December to Dismember pay-per-view event in 2006, Vengeance is the lowest-selling domestic pay-per-view event in WWE history—dating back to the infancy of pay-per-view in the 1980s. December to Dismember, which was branded as an ECW event, drew 55,000 buys in North America.

Vengeance was headlined by Alberto Del Rio vs. John Cena in a Last Man Standing Match, Mark Henry vs. Big Show in a World Heavyweight Championship Match, and Awesome Truth vs. CM Punk and Triple H.

John Cena is a vanilla midget who doesnt draw

Oh shit, remember when CM Punk was responsible for those improved figures on the prior PPV?

I'm not going to watch two greased up men roll on the floor and try to mount each other.

I'm going to watch two greased up guys fall off "20 foot" ladders and go through tables.

The UFC has surpassed WWE in North America, but I doubt the UFC is anywhere near WWE internationally.

UFC is a work.

Vengeance was actually a pretty good PPV. But going into it it didn't look as such. That's their problem, their builds tend to suck.

Was Vengeance one of the two week build PPVs? That would explain it, partially.

twas 21 days after Hell in a Cell

maybe this will cause them to cut back on the 3 ppvs in 6 weeks in september/october...

What Would Kevin Do? 12-01-2011 07:11 PM
To merge, or not to merge?

which will coincide nicely with the 24/7 wrestling channel they're making
