I've been reading reports that starting at the end of June the WWE will start grading cities based on their drawing power. So far the only cities listed are American, but hopefully some European as well as Canadian cities will make it onto the list.
Personally I think it might be a good idea as some cities like St. Louis are getting two PPV's this year, while other's get none. Friends of mine who live in the US complain all the time about never getting a PPV in their area, and of course we haven't had one here in forever. So this might get the WWE to start spreading out the wealth a little. If it give more fans access to the product then it's okay with me. This is the excerpt of what's in the report.
Beginning June 28, 2015, WWE will assign letter codes to each city (A, B , B, and C) based on drawing power. The top drawing cities (Chicago, St. Louis, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, and Dallas) will be graded "A" while the next highest drawing cities (Cincinnati, Memphis, and Milwaukee) will be graded "B ." The third highest drawing cities (Indianapolis, Omaha, and Seattle) will be graded "B" while the lowest drawing cities (Green Bay and Jacksonville) will be graded "C."
Anyone else have thought's on why they're doing this?
