Just seems like it the ppvs used to cost $60 I guess direct TV dish or who ever charged them more than it'd cost to have a network why don't they just have all the shows on there

They got about 40% of the money from each PPV sale. So let's say that last year their PPVs averaged $60. It's $24 per buy. Wrestlemania was around 1 Million buys most years, but the other months were probably closer to 200K. Maybe Royal Rumble and Summerslam were in that 400 to 500 K range.

The Network is 9.99 per month, but they keep a higher percentage of it. Their cut is probably about $7 per subscriber. Is getting $7 x 1.3 Million subscribers x 12 months a better deal than lost PPV revenue? I don't know.

I don't know what you mean about having all the shows on there. They have a TV deal with USA for Smackdown and Raw which pays them about $140 Million a year, i think. Plus whatever deals they have in other countries.

I think they would do better having the 3 big ppvs for $60 who really subscribes for the entire year anyway

Shane v. Undertaker

Shane gets thrown through the cage at some point. Taker continues beating on him. Gives him a tombstone. All of the sudden...*Glass shatters*. Stone Cold comes out to a ridiculous pop since WM is in Texas. Gives Taker a stunner. Drags Shane's body on top of Taker for the win. Austin gets the last laugh in the Austin v. Vince feud as Shane gets full control of Raw moving forward.

Book it. Done.

My overall thoughts:

Show started pretty good. Ladder Match and AJ vs Jericho were good matches, if they had questionable victors. New Day vs the League of Nations was fine, but it was just a setup for a fun post-match with the Legends. Ambrose vs Lesnar wasn't bad, but I guess I expected them to let Ambrose do a little more. Women's title match was Match of the Night to me. Show went downhill from here. Undertaker selling for Shane McMahon is ridiculous. Them doing MMA moves and staying in triangles for 2 minutes or whatever is ridiculous. Great you jumped off the cage. I know plans had to change because of guys getting hurt, but they couldn't have found something better for Undertaker to do? Andre the Giant Battle Royal was a nothing match. Shaq being in there was a neat surprise, but I think I would have had him win for the publicity. Corbin winning was probably the smart decision out of the guys they had in there, but he wouldn't have been my first choice if you were going to do an NXT guy. Rock segment was okay. By the time Reigns-Lesnar got in the ring, I wanted the show to end. Match didn't live up to a Wrestlemania main event billing.
