WWE to cut back on PPVS in 2017

[jackswstd]

19 PPV's is too gotdamn much anyway. Keep the big 4 and alternate brand exclusive PPV's the rest of the year or just do joint PPV's.

they have the same problem the NFL is having and thats just too much of the product all the time.

I disagree that that's the problem with the NFL.

It should go

January - Royal Rumble

February - single brand lead up to Mania

March - single brand lead up to Mania

April - WrestleMania

May - Off

June - Single brand lead up to SS

July - Single brand lead up to SS

August - SummerSlam

September - single brand lead up to Survivor Series

October - single brand lead up to Survivor Series

November - Survivor Series

December - Off

And when I say "off" it's okay to do little mini feuds or something during those months but honestly the wrestlers shouldn't be all that active during May or December. It would save their bodies

The first brand split was the perfect model, although the Raw ppvs were usuallythough.

 

[THE 101]

Anyone who thought the brand split would be anything than complete garbage was fooling themselves.

But it hasn't been.

But it hasn't been.

Much better wrestling, but horrible entertainment. I preferred ppv's right when indy darligns go more shine, but before split.

They haven't mixed things up enough. I canceled Network and Hulu. If Mania aint great, im giving up on wrestling. There just not giving me my preferred style of Sports entertainment.

There are other promotions besides WWE. Lucha Underground gives a great combination of entertainment and great wrestling. You should check out the LU thread for the links to the episodes for this season.

Maybe joint ppvs would be better? Could lead to inter brand feuds? I wonder what the profit on these events are.

Or make those months NXT "showcase" PPV events. An PPV type event around every 3 months (including two Takeovers) for NXT.

problem is the ppv matches are the same as the matches on RAW or SD every week.

And then the feuds aren't ending after ppv matches. They go right back to a rematch the next night on RAW or SD

 

[Jmare007]

Good news.

But isn't September normally a down month for subscriptions for the Network?
