lol! Dunno if that was supposed to be funny, but it was.
I think that cutting off that many viewers at a time when you really need to be attracting them is a big mistake. I can barley be bothered to stay up and watch PPVs when they're free at the moment (the product just isn't that good that it's worth it). I might get my family back home to tape WM for me, but that's just cos it's WM.
The argument they'll come up with will have something to do with how true fans won't mind going that bit further to see the shows. But the problem is that diehard fans are about all WWE has right now. The people they need to be roping in are casual fans, and they ain't gonna pay £15 for a 1AM wrestling show, especially when most other PPV shows cost less and are on at better times. The biggest UK sporting events are all free because of Terrestrial getting first dibs.
PPV is a bad thing and anything which brings more of it into the country is negative IMO.
