One thing i always love mocking - WWE PPV Buyrates :-D
from wrestlezone.com
"The PPV, headlined by JBL vs. Batista, scored an estimated 200,000 buys. Although the first estimates are usually a bit lower than the final number, the PPV is still dangerously close to being the worst-performing WWE event this year.
Considering WWE has opted to continue two of the more prominent storylines - JBL/Batista and Guerrero/Mysterio - through Summerslam, the news is extremely alarming"
Way to sell out those arenas and sell tickets oh wrestling god. Pretty funny to see the ECW PPV outsold it by a good 100,000 even with McMahon involvement turning potential customers away as well as only having 2 weeks on tv promotion and not even announcing a card.

Looks like TNA will hopefully soon be major competition to the WWE, will this competition mean WWE actually step up and try and give the fans a decent PPV or will they stay dull and lifeless with low buyrates (see No Way Out and GAB)
JBL a Wrestling God? Christain said it right when he said JBL's the god of boring!

Thing is as soon as Vince sees TNA as a real threat he'll try and buy it like ECW and WCW. Ok they both went bust and he picked out the bits he wanted but both of them tried too hard once they'd become established as a rival to the WWE and ran out of money - I just hope the same doesn't happen to TNA!
WWE has been pretty cack for a while now. I miss the old era >_<
TNA for the win, basically. Their talent completely owns anything Vince could pull out of his wrinkled bum.

No ECW went bust due to Heyman having zero business sense and WCW went bust due to paying obscene amounts of money for past it has beens and the fans eventually getting tired of absolutely god awful amateur booking that made the current WWE team look like a bunch of Shakespeares.

Thing is the TV networks hold a lot of power as well - any promotion apart from the WWE struggles to get exposure and the big bucks that come with a decent TV deal. Saying that though Smackdown is really struggling in the US with the TV airings being moved further and further away from primetime which can only be good for TNA. Maybe sounds like a stupid suggestion but what if for a while all PPV's were free? More people would watch and in the long run the fan base would grow? Wouldn't be able to call them PPV's then though................
If The Great American Bash was free then WWE would definitely lose all its fans.
