Didn't really realize how long that was. You all should know by now, I'm not exactly concise, when I get started on a decent topic there's no stopping me.
I'm sorry for depressing everyone, but its what I think. Like I said, more and more I see the end coming. I hope I'm worng, because obviously I love wrestling, but its about analyzing the facts as they occur. And the result isn't good at this point.
If this make everyone feel better, they were losing money in 96-97 and managed to turn things around, so its possible it could happen again.
In terms of # of PPVs, I think 12 is fine. Its unlikely they will go less than that, just because each one is so profitable. But like I said, I think 12 is the limit, adding PPVs has made them all seem less special, and once that happens you're dead.
Perhaps as a last resort if PPV business really goes in the toilet, they could drop back to 4 or 5 to make them feel special, and maybe charge a little more. But that would be a last resort.
I think right now if they go back to 12 and unify the rosters you might get a small bounce back. Especially with a RAW vs SD feud, which would likely at the very least keep them from losing more viewers. As the current fans would be interested in the outcome (if its booked right).
