WrestleMania XXVIII buyrate is in...
 

If these preliminary estimates hold up, that's a pretty damn impressive buyrate even for a WM...

We did it!

*Blows a kazoo*

I put like 28 bucks into that.

That's not very good. Nowhere near the expected numbers.

1.3 is not 1.5, and it's certainly not the other number someone said of 1.9

Damn right we did! WOO!

I downloaded it. Glad to have helped WWE. :y:

That other person who claimed the 1.9 also said that he was just talking out of his ass.

1.3 is pretty good.

1.3 for the Rock is not very good. 1.5 would be "okay". 1.7 would be good.

1.3 mil is retarded good what are you on?

Isn't this now the Wrestlemania with the highest buy rate in history?

It may not have reached St. Jimmy's expectations but that number is still pretty damned good.

lol. Really? Jesus. 1.7 would have been insane.

Yes. Pretty sure it's the biggest buyrate ever for the company.

SO DISAPPOINTING!

lol

St. Jimmy, when did you become such a twat?

ROH's Wrestlemania iPPV has 1.3...viewers

1 teenager and a kid?

Just going with the actual news sites. They all expected more, as did WWE. Compared to projections, this number sucks.

26 - 885,000
27 - 1,000,000
28 - 1,300,000

Unreasonable projections.

300, 000 is a GREAT increase in buys, especially when you look further back.

The voice of reason

Best $34.95 I spent this year :y:

I was thinking the .3 was the extra size of the average ROH fan.

Or maybe ROH fans only count as 3/5ths of a person like back in the good ole days of slavery.

See, I would have bought the pay per view at that price. It would have cost $65 for me to order it here in Canada.

It was the equivalent of about $25 here, or £15 in real money. That was a great deal.

lol

Actual news sites? So CNN, Fox News, MSNBC all thought it was going to be more?

Fair play to Sky, I've been expecting a price jump on the WWE PPV's for years but it's never happened. And keeping Wrestlemania the same price as the rest of them is cool. Even though we did used to get them all for free once upon a time, that was never going to last forever, and we still get a good handful of them for free. Considering the UK is probably WWE's biggest overseas hotspot, we get a great deal compared to how it is in the States and a lot of other countries. I have no idea who would pay $50 odd for something like Fatal 4 Way or Over the Limit. Ludicrous.

1.3 million is not a buyrate it's the actual numbers of buys.

Buyrate: How many people bought it divided by how many people could buy it.

All the PPV's are that price in Australia. Must suck for you guys, and even the Americans get charged more than us too I think. I can see why so many people stream.

British and Australians customers need to be charged more.

Oh, we are.

On all technology from phones and games through to cars. With luxury cars twice the price they are in the US in certain cases.

Sorta don't get why PPVs are so cheap here, but I'm not gonna complain about that.

My guess would be because they air at fucking 1am over there.

WM started at 9am. Most other PPV's at 11am/12pm....

At least you get Raw live. But then, we get Smackdown a day early.

But still, what DaVE said.

We get Raw live and Smackdown 3 hours before America. Woo.

Have you seen those lard asses? ROH fans weigh about a person and a third.


Look at St. Jimmy.

Do we have to?
