iliketurtles 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2005 There's no fucking way they got PPV buyrates in the next night. It takes at least 2 weeks to get a rough estimate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dawn Report post Posted June 14, 2005 I think that because of the success of this PPV, we'll see the buyrate rise higher with the purchase of encore performances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2005 800,000 would put it at #4 or #5 in terms of the number of buys for a WWF/E PPV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teke184 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2005 Can someone liste the buyrates of the PPVs the past year or so? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This isn't exactly what you asked for, but here it is. In the past year, the average major non-Wrestlemania show got about 400,000-450,000 buys. The average single-brand PPV has gotten less than 300,000 buys, with Taboo Tuesday coming in below 200,000 for the lowest buyrate since the mid-90s. The last PPV that got above this mark was Wrestlemania 21, which had a record-setting 1 million buys IIRC. The last non-Wrestlemania PPV to get above this mark was, IIRC, Summerslam 2002, which was about equal to this show. The last PPV that was NOT one of the Big Five (Wrestlemania, Summerslam, Royal Rumble, King Of The Ring, Survivor Series) to get this kind of buyrate was InVasion back in 2001, which was the ONLY non-Wrestlemania, non-Summerslam show to get that kind of buyrate. Pretty much, this guarantees that there will be a second ECW PPV at the least. This also bolsters the chances of Paul E. and Tommy Dreamer convincing Vince to fund an ECW feeder league for the WWE, which would serve as the AAA ball-club of the developmental territories. (The new Atlanta territory is considered to be a step below Ohio Valley Wrestling, so it would be the A ball-club, while OVW would be the AA ball-club) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest rawmvp Report post Posted June 14, 2005 The number is legit. We knew about the WM 21 buyrate the next night, so I don't know why some of you think it's inconceivable. Thank God for RVD pitching this idea to Vince, because the entire wrestling landscape just changed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fro 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2005 800,000 buys would be more than any WCW PPV ever (beating out Sting/Hogan by bit) , which is pretty damn funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2005 At 800,000, ONS would be #5, behind WM 21, WM 17, WM 20 and WM 18, but if goes above 840,000, then it will be #4. Summerslam 2002 got just over 500,000. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Tjhe CyNick Report post Posted June 14, 2005 Ive never seen a real buyrate come out that quick. I believe they factor in the replay buys as well, and those haven't even happened. I haven't even seen the Judgment Day number published yet, so. WWE always has them on their website, when its posted there I'll believe it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest rawmvp Report post Posted June 14, 2005 The initial preliminary estimate of WM 21 was 900K buys and it ended up over a million, which bodes well for ONS And don't forget, the WWE.com server went down because of the insane demand for the ONS webcast -- that didn't happen on the day of WM 21.

Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2005 In terms of actual buys, 800,000 would #5. Buy rates from earlier years are at levels that are unlikely to ever be reached again, simply because of how the PPV universe has expanded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
