WWE Releases PPV Buys

News

According to WWE’s third quarter investment report, Summerslam drew 369,000 PPV buys this year, which is down from 477,000 in 2008.  Breaking Point, the replacement for Unforgiven, was reported has drawing 169,000 buys.  Night of Champions, showcasing the high number of titles in WWE,  drew 267,000 buys.

WWE noted that this quarter made $14.5 million in PPV revenue, which is a decrease of 10% from this time last year. To have a 10% drop in business in only one year is something that should be having suits in Titan Tower going insane.  Obviously, the big topic of conversation is going to be the move from TV-14 to TV-PG as well as the development of Legacy as a threat and the continued sameness of the main event picture.
