RealGunner wrote:Nah ups and downs are normal in a business like WWe. They will be in trouble if they constantly post losses each year which isn't the case.

The buy rates for WM and Extreme Rules isn't really surprising. Last year it was Cena Vs Rock and Cena vs Lesnar. This year it was a triple threat in WM and Bryan vs Kane lol.

They buy rates have gone down so drastically because a huge chunk of the fans watched Wrestlemania/Extreme Rules at the WWE Network. Around Wrestlemania the Network had over 500,000 subscribers so it's safe to assume around 400,000 watched it on the Network and did not buy it like the pleb MT.

I bought WM on Sky Box Office for about £18.

Found the exact number. 667,000 had the Network during Wrestlemania. That's almost the same number as the PPV buy rate. WWE is not in that much trouble at all.

WWE are so desperate for the network to succeed. Every 2 mins commentary promoting it, Hogan promoting it on his return and the network logo is on the ring apron. In b4 they have a network themed RAW episode. Proud

The final issue of WWE Magazine will be the October issue, which hits newsstands on September 16th. The magazine could possible continue with an outside publisher but WWE itself will no longer be producing it.

Watching a TNA PPV main event heavyweight title match. Both main eventers (Austin Aries, Lashley) get no reaction as they come out. No hype, no video package, no nothing before the match. Then 2 mins into the match they go to a commercial break

WWE Diva AJ Lee reportedly has a "no touching" policy when it comes to male fans wanting to have a photo with her.

A fan spotted AJ in Texas over the weekend and asked her for a photo-op. The WWE Diva agreed, but told the fan "No touching." She added, "sorry." He replied, "Understood, no problem." She didn't just apply this rule to one male fan but many.

AJ was inappropriately touched during a photo-op once when a male fan got too close for comfort and this has been her policy ever since.

In April, at WWE's Axxess fans were not allowed to touch, hug or put an arm around AJ, so they had to lean over the table for a photo.
