From now there will be a few sentences prior to the results discussing any heel/face turns and also any on going feuds. I hope that this will match things little more interesting. I've also been thinking of adding Monday Night Raw results once I get to 1993. I just haven't decided for sure yet. I'm asking everyone here what they would like to see. Please let me know.

Thanks for the advice. I will try to add some of yor ideas to mywork starting with my nextpost.

I went with 2002. It was a great show and was hands down the best PPV of 2002. SummerSlam 1997 comes in a close 2nd though.

IMO, the William Shatner novels are some of the best Star Trek books. I think "The Return" was the best one. As far as the best series goes. DS9 TNG TOS Enterprise Voyager (I haven't seen many episodes yet) I think that most Star Trek series seem to take a while before they get into a grove. The first 2 seasons of TNG are just awful, but it really starts to pick up by the third year, as did DS9. Enterprise really got a lot better in its third year. The first 2 seasons were like TNG, mostly stand alone episodes. But they came back in for year 3 with an interesting arc and I really started enjoying it by the end. I know most people don't seem to like Enterprise that much, but I really think that it's getting better.

No Way Out 2004 did better than Armageddon 2003. Last I heard, Armageddon 2003 did 215,000 buys an No Way Out 200 did 250,000.

If Jacqueline winning the Cruiserweight title didn't kill all the credibility that the title had left, then this will. With all the cruiserweight that they have on the SmackDown roster, this is the best they can come up with.

Thanks, but I already have he actual buy rates. I'm looking for the number of buys a pay-per-view does.
