WWE To Put Out 39 PPVs Per Year?
Quote:
Recent reports suggest that WWE management is considering increasing the amount of PPVs to 39, starting with the year 2007. Many believe that this could mean that the time is now for a third WWE brand, replacing Sunday Night Heat and Velocity, which have been struggling for ratings as of late.

Reports concerning the return of ECW have been widespread, but since many WWE employees have shot down these rumors, do not expect the extreme hardcore wrestling of ECW to return just yet.

Former head of talent relation, Jim Ross, is said to the main voice behind the proposal to increase the number of PPVs, believing that 'More PPVs mean more cash'. This theory is shared by Vince McMahon, if the more recent increase in PPVs is anything to go by.

Many superstars believe that this will mean a much better in-ring product, as they are encouraged to pull out all the stops on PPV. A man who has been working closely with the superstars, in order to get the most out of them, is Pat Patterson. One superstar, who did not wish to be named, said 'There's some bumps in my arsenal that only Pat Patterson knows about'.

If WWE goes ahead with the massive PPV increase, we are warned to expect more non-wrestling segments, such as those involving Divas or GMs in recent months, in order to reach the 2 and half hour minimum length.

3 brands would mean 13 PPVs per brand per year, and WWE has made no comment on possible price changes to their PPV product, but it is believed that they will remain the same, a choice that would almost certainly anger many fans, who simply can not afford to pay such fees more than once a month.

As long as I get them free, it sounds good to me.

Whats the fucking source?

13 PPVs a year? Wouldnt it be 12 (twelve months in a year) and what about the joint PPVs, the big 4.... Rumble, Mania, Summer and Survivor?

This doesnt seem right......

But I would love for a third brand to come along. Even though I half heartedly watch RAW anymore and dont even pay attention to Smackdown.

If there is a third brand... ALL 3 SHOWS SHOULD BE LIVE ON WHATEVER NETWORK IT IS BROADCASTED ON. I'm sick and tired of these taped shitty shows where nothing exciting happens and if anything does... its reported on the internet and I would rather read it ahead of time and not watch the program.

Plus maybe one of the shows could have some actual fucking wrestling on it, just like WCW.

Times like this make me wish WCW and (no doubt) ECW were still around.

I can still hear the chants from SOUTH PHILADELPHIA......

"E"
"C"
"W"
...
"E"
"C"
"W"

The brand-split idea is brilliant in theory because once the next wrestling boom occurs, WWE would be able to sell more PPV's, thus generating more revenue.

IMO, ECW should not be returned in a bastardized state. If anything else, WWE should create a new promotion based around the concept of ECW. Or have the new promotion be somewhat of an OVW for newly developed talent.

Brock Lesner, Randy Orton, John Cena, among others, were all-apart of OVW before they were launched into the WWE spotlight. Have this new promotion be just that. A pre-launching ground for new talent that will eventually make its way to either Raw or Smackdown. The promotion will be a minor league of sorts, but under the guise of an ECW concept.

Yeah, but they don't really tour, they don't really have many shows, etc. They also don't charge 40 bucks a PPV.

Ummmm hate to be the bearer of bad news but:

Sky's contract ends in Summer 2005 and as of then there are talks of making every PPV a pay per view and not free.

so 39 PPV's times £14.99 per month = Bankrupt

I was looking through some of my old fake news articles, and this one is getting pretty close to reality.

ECW replacing Velocity.

More PPVs.

More Diva segments.

How long will it take for WWE to reach 39 PPVs per year?

Never.

Unless wrestlings hit a huge boom.. I mean huge. At least twice as big as the Attitude days...

Then, in theory, if they could make every brand totally stand alone, each one could run a ppv a month. Along with that, they could have 3 or 4 super shows (WM and Summerslam for interpromotional dream matches, King of the Ring for a nice one night tournament between brands, and a Royale Rumble)

That would give 40 ppvs a year.

It'll never happen, but if it did, that's how it would.
