The Mandarin Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 What pay-per-views have you skipped on so far this year that you've had the chance to buy? Backlash- It just looked like crap. Plain and simple. Backlash is always a "down-time" for WWE booking. Judgment Day- It wasn't worth buying just for the ladder match. Vengeance- I regret this one, but I didn't feel up to watching TV. Should have ordered the replay. Yeah. The rest I've all ordered. For the most part, they were all good. Let's not talk about Bad Blood though. Ugh.
Downhome Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 I have watched every WWE PPV this year. The upcoming Smackdown PPV, however, is the first one which I might just skip. I don't think that I've ever cared for a Pro. Wrestling show any less than I care for this upcoming PPV.
Zetterberg is God Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 Well I only missed one (Unforgiven) due to a VCR mistake. But since I want to complete my collection, I'll be ordering No Mercy, even if it is complete crap.
Guest HHH's 'Roid Needle Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 I have not missed a PPV since Wrestlemania 8. And that was only because I was attending a dumbass birthday party for a dumbass cousin. Seen every single one since then. Without a second thought. I am strange.
CanadianChris Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 The only ones I've ordered this year have been Royal Rumble, No Way Out and WrestleMania. I've missed every one since WM.
The Mandarin Posted October 15, 2003 Author Report Posted October 15, 2003 I don't think that I've ever cared for a Pro. Wrestling show any less than I care for this upcoming PPV. ..What about WWA- All Stars?
cbacon Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 All except: Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, Vengeance and Summerslam. Oh, and I guess parts of Backlash. I only actually ordered WrestleMania though, like I do every year.
Guest Salacious Crumb Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 This year was the first Mania since 15 that I've missed.
Guest Plushy Al Logan Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 Everything after WM, our box broke. I have talked my uncle into not getting another one.
Guest Jay Z. Hollywood Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 I haven't ordered a PPV since Wrestlemania X8.
Guest Doyo Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 i've skipped them all, but have seen a few ppv matches on tape and internet they are way too expensive
PsychoDriver Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 All of them, Last WWF PPV I ordered was Royal Rumble 99. Once Vince won it I made a vow never to order a WWF PPV again and I stuck to it. Besides the DVDs are cheaper.
Kahran Ramsus Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 I have seen them, but the only ones that I actually ordered were Royal Rumble, Mania & Vengeance. I need a reason to order a PPV rather than reasons not too.
Steviekick Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 All of them, Last WWF PPV I ordered was Royal Rumble 99. Once Vince won it I made a vow never to order a WWF PPV again and I stuck to it. Besides the DVDs are cheaper. That's my line of thinking. If it turns out it was a pretty good PPV I'll just get the DVD. I never order PPV's, but if I have a friend who is getting one and I'm inviting, you don't have to ask me twice.
SamoaRowe Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 I don't always make it a priority to watch the PPVs live, but I do like to catch up on most of them. I've seen every WWE PPV this year at some point except for Royal Rumble (which I intend on seeing sooner or later, especially since the DVD is only 13 bucks for me because I work at Best Buy).
SamoaRowe Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 All of them, Last WWF PPV I ordered was Royal Rumble 99. Once Vince won it I made a vow never to order a WWF PPV again and I stuck to it. Besides the DVDs are cheaper. Summerslam 2003 was the first WWE PPV I've ordered at my own home (because friends came over to split the cost). I've gone to others to watch Badd Blood, and last year I saw No Mercy, Armegeddon, and Summerslam at a friends house. Besides that, I usually buy it on video or DVD (whatever is cheaper at that point).
Guest hhheld_down Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 i have ordered vengence.... thats all... and even i was iffy about that.. i have seen the rumble, WMXIX, Backlah, and NWO on the ppv date, but i never ordered them, a friend did...
SamoaRowe Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 Does Unforgiven count because I watched it for free online?
Downhome Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 I don't think that I've ever cared for a Pro. Wrestling show any less than I care for this upcoming PPV. ..What about WWA- All Stars? I would have watched it, had I been able to.
bob_barron Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 I've seen every PPV this year except Backlash which I bought on DVD. I have free tickets to No Mercy at the theatre so I'll def be there.
Guest PowerPB13 Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 Only ones I've bought this year have been the Rumble and Mania(and I went in with three other people on Mania, so it only cost me ten dollars). Says something since I had gotten every Summerslam since 1993, but I took a pass on this year's edition. Wrestlemania is the ONLY no-brainer of the year for me, but if things keep going the way they are, I'll probably pass on that next year too. -Patrick
DrVenkman PhD Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 I watched Rumble, No Way Out, and Mania for free at a local bar that had a strong wrestling crowd, but it has since closed down due to a court case against it. There have been rumblings of it opening under different (re: the same, but different for legal purposes) ownership. Backlash I saw at a the closest bar that was showing wrestling, but the amount of people who were there and didn't like wrestling, causing them to insult everything they saw, was very annoying. Judgment Day was skipped because I was working, and it was a new job that I didn't feel I had put enough time into to be requesting shift changes (and of course, the JD card itself...). Bad Blood was the first PPV I paid to see, paying the movie theatre price to watch it, Vengeance, and SummerSlam (which again I was supposed to be at work for, but swithced shifts with someone). When Unforgiven rolled around, I did not feel it necessary to make arrangements to not work, so I skipped that one too. So, in short, I skipped 2 shows this year. No Mercy is iffy, as Bad Blood was not a fantastic start to the theatre experience, and combined with cab costs home (since no bus service exists that late on Sunday and niehter me nor any of my wrestling fan friends drive), another place to watch PPV for free, preferably without harassment from non-fans, will be needed. If one is not found, we'll probably end up at the same place we watched Backlash at.
Guest Fook Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 I've seen the Rumble, Mania, Vengeance, and Summerslam. Skipped all the rest.
Papacita Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 I didn't order Judgment Day, Vengeance, Unforgiven and I don't think I'm gonna get No Mercy. I *shouldn't* have ordered Summerslam, considering I was out of town the day of event, but I did and taped it...waste of $30.
Tawren Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 Every one but Unforgiven, which I got a tape of a few days after.
Aero Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 I missed No Way Out because of an unpaid cable bill, and I just didn't want to order Judgment Day, Bad Blood, and Unforgiven. I have every PPV this year (except Unforgiven) on DVD, though, for my collection.
RavishingRickRudo Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 Last WWE PPV: No Mercy 01. However, I have seen Pride 25, 26, GP, and UFC 42, 43, 44... and actually purchased 3 of them... In otherwords, there are better things on PPV in 03 than the WWE.
Jack_Bauer Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 I havent skipped any PPVs because someone always tapes them for me. I have seen some SHIT though.
