chaosrage Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 To add more useless-ness to the thread, heres the PPV's ive ordered that had HBK as champ, Bret as champ, and Austin as champ. (list only for when the person was champion, not challenging) Bret Hart: Royal Rumble 1993 Wrestlemania IX King Of The Ring 1994 Summerslam 1994 Survivor Series 1994 In Your House 5 Royal Rumble 1996 In Your House 6 Wrestlemania XII Ground Zero! Bad Blood Survivor Series 1997 Shawn Michaels: In Your House: GF, BE King Of The Ring 1996 Summerslam 1996 Survivor Series 1996 Royal Rumble 1998 Wrestlemania XIV Steve Austin: Over The Edge 1998 King Of The Ring 1998 Fully Loaded 1998 Summerslam 1998 Breakdown 1998 Fully Loaded 1999 Summerslam 1999 Backlash 2001 Judgment Day 2001 King Of The Ring 2001 Invasion Summerslam 2001 Unforgiven 2001 Survivor Series 2001 From the totals, I believe I only missed one PPV with Bret Hart as World Champion (thanks to not having PPV from summer-fall of 1992) Shawn Michaels got several buys, but WWF wasn't my primary focus anymore. Austin made me a wrestling fan again. Hence all the PPV's bought with him as champion. You order a lot of PPVs. Here's what I ordered, Royal Rumble98 Wrestlemania14 King of the Ring 98 Fully Loaded 98 Summerslam 98 Wrestlemania 15 Wrestlemania17 Survivor Series02 So 6 for Austin and 3 for Shawn
Art Sandusky Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 I order PPVs/attend PPV showings because I like wrestling. Who's on top doesn't particularly affect me one way or another.
The Mandarin Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 Anybody else tally up how much they've spent on PPVs? I've spent $1600 on PPVs from 2000 to now. I'm insane.
Downhome Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 Anybody else tally up how much they've spent on PPVs? I've spent $1600 on PPVs from 2000 to now. I'm insane. How much is every PPV from December 93 to December 2000? Then take that, ad maybe six PPVs over the next two years, then from December 2002 to this very day, add about four normal PPVs and about 10 webcasts. Then you'll have my total.
Kahran Ramsus Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 Superbrawl VI - 0.63 Uncensored - 0.7 Slamboree - 0.44 -------------------------- NWO Shows Up Great American Bash - 0.48 Bash at the Beach - 0.71 Hog Wild - 0.62 Fall Brawl - 0.65 Halloween Havoc - 0.77 World War 3 - 0.55 --------------------------------- Shawn loses title The NWO did not have a real significant impact on buyrates until 1997 as shown here. They went up, but only slightly. Surely, not enough to impact the WWF buyrates.
TheOriginalOrangeGoblin Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 "Uncensored - 0.7" So Hogan v 234 guys in cage DREW?!
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 Considering I have over 200 wrestling tapes, and probably 100+ being PPVs from the last 10 years, I'm ashamed to realize PPV cost for it all. Well, at least it didn't go into Rob Feinstein';s little boy grabbing pockets.
Kahran Ramsus Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 "Uncensored - 0.7" So Hogan v 234 guys in cage DREW?! Yep.
Downhome Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 That's Hogan AND Savage vs. 234 guys in a cage.
TheOriginalOrangeGoblin Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 "Uncensored - 0.7" So Hogan v 234 guys in cage DREW?! Yep. Well you know it's close but being able to draw in a match THAT bad puts Hogan SLIGHTLY ahead of Michaels as a draw.
Perfxion Posted March 17, 2004 Report Posted March 17, 2004 Are you stating this as if the 80s never existed? If you are, you are right. If you aren't, you are a fool.
TheOriginalOrangeGoblin Posted March 17, 2004 Report Posted March 17, 2004 I was being sarcastic....hence the smiley....
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted March 17, 2004 Report Posted March 17, 2004 Starrcade 1994, one of the worst of all time and probably the worst Main Event in wrestling history drew a 6.0 buyrate. Or 5.5. Still better than most HBK shows. Ed Leslie as Not Brutus Beefcake > draw than Shawn Michaels.
Guest Dynamite Kido Posted March 17, 2004 Report Posted March 17, 2004 That's Hogan AND Savage vs. 234 guys in a cage. Of course it was...because if Savage wasn't there I don't think the match would have been believable.....
Guest MikeSC Posted March 19, 2004 Report Posted March 19, 2004 That's Hogan AND Savage vs. 234 guys in a cage. Of course it was...because if Savage wasn't there I don't think the match would have been believable..... I'm wondering if Hogan would have booked himself going over if he directed "The Passion". -=Mike Tony S.: OH MY GOD! HE ISN'T DEAD. THEY COULDN'T CRUCIFY HIM! IT BACKFIRED! HE'S HULKING UP! OH NO, HE'S LEGDROPPING EVERYBODY! HE IS AMAZING!
Perfxion Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 Tony: THIS IS THE GREATEST COMEBACK IN THE HISTORY OF OUR SPORT! As for the arguement of shawns drawing power. Well, lets put it this way. A well hyped main event will sell. A PPV is no main event annouced until 2 weeks before AND the undercard of complete crap will NOT draw. This is why HBK couldn't draw, he was over as hell. But couldn't draw because he was the worst booked champion ever. Worse than Jericho.
