You don't get to have a major ppv until you take the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Yes, the answer to television ratings is to ship a PPV overseas.
Are attendances even an issue right now? |

No, WrestleMania already made like 10 million dollars over the weekend in ticket sales with 50,000 already sold.

SummerSlam 1992 got a 1.5 buyrate, but the year before that got 2.7. Pretty good reason never to do a PPV in England again and that was before the before mentioned problems above.

WWE officials visited Wembley, Old Trafford and the Millennium Stadium last week. I think Summerslam over here would be huge. The only problem as we all know is the time zone issue. I'm sure they're currently crunching the numbers to figure out if they can offset potential losses from buyrates for a taped PPV airing in the US by selling out 75,000+ seats at extortionate prices, with increased merchandise revenue, Axxess tickets, UK sponsorships, etc. A PPV like Summerslam in Cardiff would be fucking amazing:
![]() In all honesty so long as the show is billed as live then the casual folk that would normally purchase a PPV would be non the wiser, and hardcore fans would probably tend to still watch it regardless. Obviously there would be a reduction in PPV sales but probably not as much as people think. And like I said WWE will make a killing on other things by doing it so there's no way they would make a loss. As an example, a tshirt that WWE would sell at a house show in the US for $25 sell for £25 here. And tickets are always a lot pricier over here due to the exchange rate. For a PPV they could charge what they like, people from all over Europe would flock to the UK for this. |

Predictable response. But the fact that it was Smackdown was not the point. The point is, does your average casual family that orders the odd big PPV really pay any attention or care as to whether a show is live or on a tape delay? I would say no. In fact a huge PPV in a UK stadium would generate some more interest to want to buy if anything as it would have that Wrestlemania feel to it.

Have it at Hillsborough. That place has a reputation for putting on stellar events. Maybe the Yorkshire police and the Sun could be the sponsors.

Would it be that hard to air live, but just air it earlier than normal and did it on a Saturday? If they aired it at 5pm EST, it'd be 10pm in London. I don't think you'd lose tickets because a show ends at 1am. Perhaps do a 1hr tape delay so the show starts in London at 9pm and begins airing in the U.S. at 6pm EST?

There's no evidence to prove that either of us are right or wrong, so no I'm not grasping at straws.

Meanwhile, your argument is disingenuous and pointless. So yes, you are grasping at straws. You have no actual reason to believe it would be worth their while. There's plenty of reason to believe it wouldn't be, however. If what you mean is that there is no way for either of us to see into the future and get an exact set of figures pertaining to buyrate, attendance and revenue, then yes. That's kind of stupid, though, as it renders almost any discussion about future events moot. It screams of a child telling his parents that they can't predict the future, and just because sticking a finger in the light socket hurt before doesn't mean it will this time. Otherwise, you have failed to make any significant case for WWE benefiting from a big PPV overseas. and now, you are grasping at straws. |
