As they were, I mean. Now, since the PPVs on average are kinda "meh", the value proposition isn't as high.

Speaking of value, I wonder how much tix are anymore? That might also be compounding the problem. You present fans with a conundrum: spend an estimated $50 or so to go to a house show full of people your weekly TV tells me aren't worth watching for free or browse anything that might strike my fancy on demand for $10 in that month?
Both great points. I think the network price out of the gate could have been higher, but they also had that weird 6 month commitment for the first 10 months or so.

The ticket prices are in my mind way too high, and they run too many shows.

It's a multi billion dollar company, and Vince is still running 5 to 6 house shows a week to grind out a few extra thousand dollars. He is one greedy sob.
