Thread: 411Mania.com Fan Forums: WWE Raising PPV Prices Next Year.

good memories. one could actually write a novel on the austin/mcmahon feud alone and how it affected the whole wwe during that time.

In the US there are many different companies to get TV from. The one I have, Dish Network, carries the WWE ppvs but not WWE 24/7.

In unrelated news, Buffalo Wild Wings forecasts higher profit.

My interest as dropped heavily in regards to the product of the wwe already. This is just another nail in the coffin. I will admit that Survivor Series is coming off as very promising, however.

Quote: not being a yankee I really can't judge you guys but no way I'd pay that kind of money to watch cena/orton again and again. That's the biggest problem with WWE's PPV product these days. Way too much repetitiveness. They take 2-3-4 guys who are feuding and put them in some sort of match on 3 or 4 PPVs in a row. They try to add gimmick after gimmick to the matches to make them seem fresh and unique but ultimately...

Well... Looks like it's just Royal Rumble and Mania for us

My problem isn't so much the reusing of the same 3-4 guys in the main event as it is the lack of any real story development between PPVs. Its just the motions of match, rematch, second rematch, stipulation, then "cooler" stipulation. Back in '98, the upper card was usually some combination of Austin, Taker, Kane, Foley, and later Rock. But back then there was actual story line progression and what happened on one PPV would...

I've been watching wrestling for over 20 years (ouch) and I can honestly say I've never personally ordered a PPV. I remember about 6-7 of us chipping in a few dollars for Starcade (Sting vs Hogan) but beyond that, I can't really remember even sharing the cost of a ppv.

Boo. My group of friends stopped getting every show after the last price increase. We only do the Big Four now. We may possibly downgrade to just The Rumble and Wrestlemania. Higher cost + less cool shit happening at PPVs = me chipping in for fewer shows.
