PPV's make money for them.

Now if they started going in the red or breaking even for some of the smaller PPV's then yea, but they make money off of them. Personally though I would like them to go back to the days of less PPV's. Maybe 6-8 instead of 13. Make them mean more than they do now since they have one every 4 weeks.

I can personal attest that the WWE is barely breaking even with the smaller PPVs. NOC 2013 didn't even sell out in one of their larger markets.

Honestly, there is no need for 2 PPVs in October and one so soon after WrestleMania. Max amount should be 10 per year with one being in the UK.

Live attendance for PPV's is just a tiny drop in the bucket money wise. Of course they want to pack the place, but PPV buys is what matters. As long as the PPV buys stay decent and the network continues to grow, then those smaller PPV's aren't going anywhere.

Although I wish they would cut them back for entertainment reasons like I said.

Youre cutting 2 days of operations / travel to NOT earn revenue, AND spike tv ratings the next night. Nonsense
