Some good PPV news for WWE…

- According to WWE's 2012 Second Quarter Results, PPV revenues were $40.8 million as compared to $34.4 million in the prior year quarter. Revenue increased 19% reflecting a 17% increase in buys for the second quarter. WrestleMania XXVIII accounted for approximately 60% of this revenue growth with a 15% increase in buys. Revenue from the three other events in the quarter increased 28% based on a combined 20% increase in buys and a 6% increase in the average revenue per buy. The rise in revenue per buy was attributable to higher retail prices charged for viewing our events in high definition.

* WrestleMania: 1,217,000 buys in 2012, up from 1,059,000 in 2011.
* Extreme Rules: 263,000 buys in 2012, up from 209,000 buys in 2011.
* Over the Limit: 167,000 buys in 2012, up from 140,000 buys in 2011.
* No Way Out (2012)-Capitol Punishment (2011): 194,000 buys in 2012, up from 170,000 buys in 2011.
* Prior Event Buys: 56,000 buys in 2012, up from 20,000 buys in 2011.
* Totals: 1,897,000 buys in 2012, up from 1,598,000 buys in 2011.

This is clearly because CM Punk's the WWE Champion.

Here you said though the reason the PPVs saw a drop was because Punk was champ, although you later 'clarified' you meant 'focus', the championship is created to be focused on. Thus the fact that the PPVs buyrate went up was because of Punk.

I am pretty sure nobody bought a PPV for Cena vs Big Show or, especially so, Cena vs Johnny Ace.

So if the PPV loses buys it's because Punk is champ. If it gains buys it's because Cena is on the card ?

Is that kind of like, when the PPV buys are up? Creative has nothing to do with it.When the PPV buys are down, Its all creatives fault?

Isnt this the board of people who dont care about ppv buys or ratings? Funny stuff.

I was being a smart ass relax there cowboy, Cena and Rock and Cena and Lesnar were probably your reasons for the draw the other ones I'd say probably more luck than anything, that and the fact that CM PUnk was actually involved in a feud with AJ and Daniel Bryan and Kane that was actually interesting instead of the Chris Jericho feuding about 3 different things

If you were joking, you wouldn't of felt the necessity to continue the point.
