Makes me wish i hadnt given away my old wwf tapes now:( reading some of the above comments.
When i moved a year ago i left the video behind.
I had loads of official video ppv's and ones id taped from 96' to around 04'.
It was when it was mental and free:cool:
I remember my first live ppv i stayed up for included the Austin v Shane/Vince(the Greater Power:p) ladder match.

I wonder what CeNexus will be up to tonight.
I prefer Nexa or Nexna!!
Hope it's not bad tonight, better keep off Twitter tomorrow morning too, I'm following a couple from here now, and I bet they'll be twitwhoring tonight :eek:
When does WWE peak? Obviously it's pumped at RR-WM time, is that when it's really at the heighest point of the year? Or do they tend to try and have the peak from it's season premier in September?
Peak, to me, would be Survivor Series (beginning of the road to Mania) until around whatever PPV comes after Mania (many feuds are still left unresolved by that point, hence the need for rematches). The slump is usually from May to now, when nothing seems to mean anything on the grand scale of things.
I found this website the other week when looking for WM X-7 buyrate
http://www.100megsfree4.com/wiawrestling/pages/wwf/wwfppvbr.htm
Only seems to go up to 2008, but the ones from 2008 onwards are easy to find, and it's a bit patchy in places.
Interesting figures though.
Wrestlemania 17 is the biggest selling PPV in North America with roughly 1,040,000 buys.Wrestlemania 23 attracted 1,200,000 buys,but over 400,000 came from from outside of the US.Also,it's worth noting that PPV was mostly confined to North America until 2002.
Wrestlemania 3 did a 10.2 buyrate,which equals about 400,000 buys.This means 10% of the 4 million homes capable of receiving PPV in 1987 bought the event.That is probably the most impressive figure of all.
think you'll find
wcw the Bunkhouse Stampede (January 24, 1988) 3.50
and the first starcade did a 3.3
Didn't realise that lol
Is a 1.9 rate in 1997 better than a 3.5 rate in 1988 due to the increase in homes that could recieve PPV's?
a 1.9 would just be under 800,000 homes, rule of thumb is every 1.0 = 400,000 homes.
PPV event back in 1988 were few but the channels were there to provide the event.
TV has evolved from just 4 channels to 5 then the cable era started and dish network etc, 1988 they (guessing for example) had 5 main stations and 30 cable channels now they have 5 main stations with there version of freeview ie 100 channels and cable/dish with over 400 channels. That why the ratings decades ago were better because the was not much choice now theres a channel for almost everything.
a 1.9 in 1997 was still a big number for the amount of channels to view
extra added
Mike Tyson vs Evander Holyfield (rematch), June 1997 - 1.99 million PPV buy (wcw did well with a 1.9)
Hey Matt, good to see you're back bro. What do you make of the cenexus storyline and bfg?
Yeah back now after people hitting the alert button for nothing. I'm not allowed to admit to something (ps3)
loving the nexus/cena story...theres plenty of twists on the way.
Otunga looks like he might turn face with cena or he want wade out and cena lead nexus.
BFG was ok, the ending was russo/hogan/Bisch playing the internet fans...hardy as a heel wont work.
Daniel Bryan wont be in Smackdown vs Raw 2011 - If he doesnt get released, could be in 2012 edition.
Why don't you let us see you in spandax? Maybe a nice posed picture with your partner.
In these days of internet safety I reckon one good turn deserves another. Let's see yours first and then I'll get my camera out
Hopefully the titles will be in the building and Nattie gets her rematch at Bragging Rights or sooner
With that charm of yours, how do you find yourself single? You'd be draped in women if you ever left your laptop.
Hey Kitty, how you doing?
I don't think he's ready for it IMO
Can see Superman finding a way to mess things up without getting 'fired'
Do we know if they have a guest host for the UK Raw yet? I really hope not or that it's someone at least halfway decent.
And yay for the titles
I'm doing great thanks
That's the thing, Orton is more suited for chasing the title than being the champion that Barrett has the aura of succeeding with a belt so the Barrett and Orton feud would work if he beat him at Bragging Rights.
Whoever they get he or she won't be as good as Ricky Hatton. Although his victory over Chavo Guerrero has been tarnished forever in my eyes since the cocaine scandal.
You may mock Mr Fatton (and I can't say I blame you in the circumstances
I'm hoping they've got Jezza Kyle lined up - him, Punk and Miz in the same promo would really be awesome
