If Booker had won, I'd have bought the rerun webcast to see it, and assuming he retained the entire month, I'd have purchased Armaggedon this December (on TV) to watch his rematch against JBL.
However, Booker didn't win, so I'll simply continue to not watch WWE programming or purchase their PPVs. So eh. I'll just watch TNA, or something besides wrestling.
To tell the truth, I don't give two pints of piss about Randy Orton, or John Cena, or John Heidrenchen, or Eugene Dinsmore, or Chris Benoit, or HHH. I like wrestlers like Booker T, Christian, Shelton Benjamin, Chris Jericho, Chavo Guerrero Jr., Rob Van Dam, The Big Show, and a few others. I care about them. When they aren't headlining the PPV (or even on the card), I'm not gonna watch.
I guess I'm just being a typical fan -- I'm not gonna watch a PPV headlined by a relative no-name -- and despite how big you wanna pretend Orton is today, he's a nobody to the casual fan. You have to build the new guys up, but you can't just throw them in the limelight and expect the fans to pay to watch them, unless, that is, you make them a new Goldberg -- and I would hope that WWE hasn't stooped to that level.
