Matt D Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I blame March Madness. I have to decide if I want to stump for Goldust this year or if I'd hurt his cause by going overboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontaneous Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 No, EC'14 is the day before. If it debuts 2/24/14 it'll be the day after Elimination Chamber and there is nothing in between it and Mania, hence my concern. I figure they would at least want to run EC through it and see how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I stand corrected. They really need to rejigger their PPV schedule so there's not such weird contractions and expanses of time between them. Maybe have more during the summer (old school Saturday night PPV!) when kids are out of school or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I am beginning to feel like WWE staying in the PPV business is slowly starting not to make sense. I may be dead wrong as I have not looked at any numbers, but if WWE teams with MLBtv or Netflix to cut costs on infrastructure and just has fans sub at 29.95 a year (for example), they could float all their current PPVs on the WWE Network and probably come out better than they do right now, if not immediately, in years down the road as the sub base for the network grows. Heck, they could tier subs like so: 29.95/yr for WWE Classics/RAW and Smackdown replays 39.95/yr for above tier + B-level PPV shows 49.95/yr for above tier + Road to Wrestlemania shows and Summerslam This could be a dumb idea, but that seems better than only corralling substantial PPV buys for the Rumble and Mania.

Hooker Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Is OJ Simpson still in those "Naked Gun" films? It's not like the WWE has been editing Earl Hebner out of their tapes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thee Reverend Axl Future Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Stop talking about wrestlers that might lurk on this board. You're just going to scare them off. Wrestlers are like raccoons, or yeti, or puffs of smoke. Maybe if we put out bowls of Xanax and keeps the lights low, they might come back. - ssshhh, RAF 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 The best part of the network is where Triple H, similar to when Ted Turner ran TNT in the '90s and wanted then-unknown film The Shawshank Redemption to get shown as often as possible, insists on airing The Chaperone and Inside Out every week until they can finally grow a large fanbase and be recognizied as modern day classics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwoy2j Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 The pictures of Kanyon in the pic thread got me to thinking. Who was the last non-lucha/non-angle related (so no Mr. America/Midnight Rider types) masked guy? A guy like Mr. Wrestling II or Masked Superstar. I seriously can't remember anyone since Mortis.

Bustronaut Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 They actually had a shop in their hometown where they were selling the shirts. I wanna say Dave was in charge of the merchandise stands at that point, so he was skimming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
