If you were wondering: no, WWE has not learned from its mistakes from 2006, when they ran what seemed to be a PPV every other week (and when combined with competition from TNA and UFC events, saw one of their lowest buyrates ever in the 90,000 from December to Dismember). Here’s the breakdown of how many weeks are in between each PPV from the beginning of 2007 and until Wrestlemania 24:
3 weeks – Between New Year’s Revolution (RAW) and Royal Rumble (RAW, SD & ECW)
3 weeks – Until No Way Out (SD)
6 weeks – Until WrestleMania 23 (RAW, SD & ECW)
4 weeks – Until Backlash (RAW)
3 weeks – Until Judgment Day (SD)
3 weeks – Until ECW One Night Stand (ECW)
2 weeks – Until Vengeance (RAW)
4 weeks – Until Great American Bash (SD)
5 weeks – Until SummerSlam (RAW, SD & ECW)
3 weeks – Until Unforgiven (RAW)
3 weeks – Until No Mercy (SD)
3 weeks – Until Cyber Sunday (RAW)
3 weeks – Until Survivor Series (RAW, SD & ECW)
2 weeks – Until December to Dismember (ECW)
2 weeks – Until Armageddon (SD)
3 weeks – Until New Year’s Revolution (RAW)
3 weeks – Until Royal Rumble (RAW, SD & ECW)
3 weeks – Until No Way Out (SD)
6 weeks – Until WrestleMania 24 (RAW, SD & ECW)
Yep, once again, WWE is setting itself up to fail by having three PPVs in five weeks this fall. Just saying.
