I wonder if WWE would ever considering including a traditional PPV for TV as part of a deal. How many people would watch Survivor Series if it just aired on NBC one year? Or Halloween Havoc? Would it overlap completely with their current fans or have lapsed people tuning in?

Main Event eventaully completely fizzled out ratings-wise. But WWE fans also have a canon of importance when it comes to events, and Main Event was not considered high on it compared to a Big 4 (or a Halloween Havoc, which I still believe WWE is leaving money on the table by not reviving).

Maybe if The Rock is involved it would work.

As my life partner Data West has said, WWE will ruin sweet, sweet Halloween Havoc. Keep it on the shelf.

TV companies wouldn't want it. TV time is precious and expensive they don't want 4 hours of a low rated "Sports Entertainment" event especially on Network TV. If WWE paid them they may cut a deal.

Going to RAW to look bored cost about $200 for on camera seats.

That's not even including the processing fee and all of that other extra bs.

One Superman Punch for every lost viewer since the year prior. Cole has to call every last one of them with the same level of obviously fake enthusiasm.

sounds like you want WW3 more than War Games

 

[sf2fanatic]

I worked in tv for 3 years brother. And each station I left, their ratings crumbled when I walked out of that door dude. Neither have recovered. But ever since joining Amazon Jeff Beezos has become an even bigger billionaire because of me, jack!

Why you living in Tennessee instead of Hollywood like the Miz?

Three rings with one big cage around them.

The latter is definitely Hogan/Piper and Hogan/Warrior, though.

Whats the context of the Hogan steel cage gif?

A fan climbed the cage and got his ass beat.

Spoiler

It was also a work

Hogan/Warrior was also followed by one of the most popular/hot matches of 1998

Totally dope match. DDP really should have been the one to break the streak 6 or so months down the line, after a series of matches where he gets progressively closer to beating Goldberg.

The looks from the crowd are killing me.

That looks like a 2017 WWE crowd.

Cross your fingers for tomorrow, Anth0ny.

Modern WWE crowds behaving like late era WCW crowds? No surprises there.

At least unlike that WCW, ratings are shooting up!

 

[Heroman]

Remember cj Parker?

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Late era WCW crowds at least admitted they were watching something that's best/peak long since came and went

I'd say "something they knew was dying" too but lol I can't ever forget that week when it was bought and Dave and Bryan grew increasingly bewildered by the amount of callers saying "I get its cancelled. Now when's it coming back?"

I remember Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker.

Man I wonder what people here would do if WWE was cancelled.

I guess I'd switch full time to NJPW and hopefully WWE Network stays so I actually catch up on everything.

 

[Anth0ny]

Don't make me shoot.

Bring back War Games and on TBS

Clash of the Champions was traditionally a "free ppv" from WCW that aired on TBS on Thursday I believe.
Would work great

My wrestling consumption would drop by 95 percent or so. Id be curious to see where all the talent goes.
