Pay that much for a ppv that’s most likely going to suck? Last minutes match up and only two matches have a storyline. Plus putting irrelevant wrestkers over guy that are the future? I wouldn’t buy a ppv for god’s sake del rio is boring, so picture how his match with cena will be. Orton is boring. Big show boring. Only guy i enjow now are the shield d bryan, punk, sandow and bray wyatt and the shield are going to lose to the rhodes, usos and mysterio at survivor series (scoff) that why i’m not buying

Piracy has little to no impact on the business. If WWE brought their prices down to a more realistic $4.99 or less then there would be very little piracy. The rises that have happened relate to unrealistic profits being made for shareholders. It’s happened with every sports/entertainment/music based company, they have simply priced out their own fanbase, which is just poor management as those fans won’t come back and there will soon be no room to grow. WWE simply cannot afford to cater to adult fans using the model they employ. Action figures, films, toys……that’s where the money is. The wrestling shows are just advertising for those products which is wrong in an entertainment aspect, but looks good on paper from a business perspective as it fools people into thinking that there is room for growth as they are making the same numbers from massively reduced consumers who will themselves soon be priced out. Your $50+ is not getting your better quality or helping support wrestling…..by paying it you are killing the product and lining the pockets of shareholders. Everyone should stream ppvs if you want the product to improve. There are very few rich musicians/wrestlers and actors. Most of them have to work thjemselves to death just to break even and had to long before the myth of piracy killing anything. Pure greed from people that have nothing to do with the product will collapse the industry soon

So, the fact that WWE is boring as shit is all our fault guys.

Ok, Mr Hart, problem. I used to pay for every ppv from 1989 to 2010. Every one from every company. At times, I got my money worth, at times I did not yet I never complained. I do now simple because I want to buy the ppvs but there are two reasons why. 1) cost. 55 dollars for a ppv is too much. 2) There is no difference between tv and ppvs. Number 2 is the big one. You get better stuff on tv than the ppvs, so why buy them? No, I do not get them off the net, if I like a ppv, I will get the dvd.

when i started getting ppvs at wm 4 i remeber wrestlemaina was 30 and the other ones were 19.99 with the occasional one off ppv (the no holds barred mess and the tourney that was actually held in an hs gym in the early/mid 80s)
then they added king of the ring cause there was a 4-5 month peroid between wm and survivor series
Back then we wanted more ppvs so wwe came up with the in your house idea which were basically “house” matches like you see in the arenas you know where it just furthers storylines no titles change hands ect (sad note is the only time i ever bought an in your house ppv is the day owen hart took his infamous jump and the ppv was blacked out and the only time wwe ever refunded an ppv fee )
those were like 12.95 but alal of a sudden the in your houses got serious they dropped the house moniker and basically became like the old clash pf champions and did things that mattered prices got raised over the years….. i think the last wm i bought was 49.99 then they changed survivor series and royal rumble ………
And from what i hear im not missing anything so i just read results on the internet when I want something ……..

The storylines of the major superstars are very weak nowadays in WWE, take an example of Ryback sotryline which totally sucks since last year despite his great persona and power in the ring, but they made him heel and put him in low level mtaches and lose them too. They better focus on superstars like him.
