The pay-per-view numbers for the last several PPV shows of 2006 were finally revealed today in WWE's latest public financial statement. Numbers for the pay-per-views Cyber Sunday, Survivor Series, December to Dismember and Armageddon were disclosed.

Survivor Series did 383,000 buys, up from 370,000 the year before. Cyber Sunday also drew better than the year prior, with 228,000, up from 207,000. Armageddon did 239,000 buys, which is way up from the prior SmackDown PPV offering, No Mercy. No Mercy did 197,000 buys back in October. However, Armageddon's number is down from the prior year as the 2005 show did 280,000 buys.

Now we come to the numbers for ECW's December to Dismember PPV. The show only drew 90,000 buys, less than half of the next lowest PPV buyrate of the year, which was No Mercy at 197,000. The ECW December to Dismember PPV is by far the lowest drawing PPV in WWE history. The previous all-time lows were in the 180,000-190,000 range, which largely consisted of 'In Your House' events and some JBL headlined SmackDown pay-per-views in 2004.
