Occasional Pre-Show
I agree with MMK 100%. Why should we be concerned with the amount of profit Vince make. We are not his employees. We are fans and we should care about the quality of the PPVs not the quantity.

Actually, it is you who is wrong. WWF made just as much money, and was much more popular in the 80's and 90's when they had only 4 ppv's a year. That was when the WWF was at it's peak. Are you saying the WWF didn't make money in the 80's and early 90's before they expanded to 12 or 16 ppvs a year. They had way more ppv buys back in the day when ppvs mattered. So more ppvs doesnt neccessarily mean more ppv buyrates. Buyrates are the lowest theyve ever been.

Exactly. I like this guy. He's got good taste. lol. But some folks on here seem to think they work for Vince and are more interested in WWE's profit margin. I just want a quality product. And as a fan, that should be our only concern.
Much to the contrary, you, are wrong.
Pro Wrestling is about making money, always has been, always will be. Not placating you.
More PPVs = more money.
As long as there is profit to be made, PPVs wont, and shouldnt, decrease in number. Thank fuck you aren't running my wrestling company, I would prefer to make money, personally.
You seem to have less business sense then common sense. By your logic, the NFL season should be 50 games, MLB 200 games, NBA and NHL 100 games. They'd make more money that way. More games = more money.
And also you don't understand the concept of saturation of the market. Too many PPVs are cluttering the market. Why should I bother making a PPV Over the Limit any good, when I know that more people are going to buy Wrestlemania. I should focus on Wrestlemania, and know that Over the Limit is meanignless to me, as far as selling the actual PPV to a TV audience.
And hey, if it's all about money, why not have weekly PPV's. You'd make more money. Oh wait, someone tried that already, and it didn't work. That's part of the reason TNA never built a strong national fanbase. Because the only people seeing them on a weekly basis was the folks showing up to the arena.
Yurnewhero wrong. The reason they dropped the single branded PPV's, was because some cards of those PPV's sucked. Would you buy a PPV headlined headlined by Ted Dibiase? I know i wouldn't, and guess what many people would do the same so....

I'm glad I don't run any backyard fed you might have. You see only $$$$ and not building an actual product. Promoters like you end up black balled in the business. I'm willing to bet you're the type that would book a show, and once you had the gate, you'd skip out and not pay the boys.
Yes, but it was December to Dismember that actually did it, ECW's roster was too thin to handle single brand PPV's. The higher ups had no problem with RAW or Smackdown's PPV's.
I'm not suggesting Ted Dibiase headline a PPV, where did you pull that from? I suggested one of the perks is featuring some of the lower card guys in lower card matches. For example, a RAW PPV would be headlined by matches such as Cena vs. Punk or Mysterio vs. Miz and the lowercard matches would be the place for your Ted Dibiase's and your Evan Bourne's, that way they get a chance to shine and prove themselves. Maybe one day that could lead to a guy like DiBiase finding his niche and heading to the main event, cause it's sure not gonna happen from him jerking off on Superstars.
What are your thoughts on having a ppv where neither world title is defended. you could have one or two multi-man matches such as a battle royal too determine a number one contendor for the world titles. have one of these say with all people who have never won a world title. have the focus on the US/IC titles, the tag titles.
What are your thoughts on this? Do you personally think that having a for lack of a better term "mid-card" ppv, which features the talent of up and coming superstars such as daniel bryan, cody rhodes, dibiasie, truth, del rio, sell? will there ever be a pay per view without cena and orton?
Personally i think this would be a great idea, however i do realise that this could be because i am a mostly internet fan. i would love to see the pure wrestling styles that this would entail.
What matches would you love to see?
My Card would be on the lines of:
Rhodes v Christian for the Number One Contendor to the WHC Title
Six Pack Challenge for the Number One Contender for the WWE Title (ft. wade barrett, morrison, mason ryan, jack swagger, del rio, r truth)
Sin Cara and Rey Mysterio v Evan Bourne and Averno in a Ladder Match for the Tag Team Titles
Drew McIntyre v Dolph Ziggler for the US Title
Bryan v Punk for the IC Title
Kaitlyn v Natalya v AJ v Eve v Kelly Kelly v Kharma for the Diva's Title
A Battle Royal for a choice of a shot at either the IC or US Titles (tatsu, dibiasie, kidd, baretta, chavo, masters, riley, ryder)
please dont be too harsh, only new to these forums

Oh this is an EASY question
I'd keep every single one of the PPVS in tact (I mean once a month in tact) , but reduce PPV pricing to $15 maybe $20 per PPV show
Then it'd just sell a hell of alot more and result in way more money and more viewers etc
PPV names are fairly irrelevant if theres no gimmick to the PPV , obviously I'd maintain WM Summerslam Rumble SS & then keep Extreme rules , TLC , Hell in a cell , Elimination chamber , Money in the bank etc (Big 4 + gimmick PPVS ftw imo)
