    I meant to say in paid attendance. That's still bad that they didn't even sell out with the top part blocked off. Chicago is one of the easiest to drew a crowd to any way. That's what makes it bad.

    Oh, yea. Paid attendance post-WrestleMania has been absolutely awful lately. When I was a kid, it was impossible to get a ticket ... 25,000+ selling out in minutes. Now, they struggle to give away the last 5,000 season in any stadium over 15,000, it seems.

    I remember when the Rumble tickets went on sale here in SA. There was a huge deal going on about getting your tickets ASAP cause they'd be gone fast. (Especially pre-sale tickets that were suppose to be cheaper)

    Then fast forward about 2 weeks beforehand, they reduced the price of tickets and every radio station or local broadcast was just giving them away. I had a friend win better seats than he paid for lol.

    One paid attendance problem is now you get two PPV's some months on the network for 9.99 instead of one for 45.00 on the traditional ppv model that they used to use. So some people choose to stay at home since it is cheaper then going to the show especially for a family. The network is great but I still shocked they have not went up to at least 12 bucks a month.

    In the wcw vs wwf days, I remember never paying that ppv fee. I went to them, but I'd never buy. Actually, I bought a DirecTV card programmer for $30 and watched them all for free. Lol

    I've also never lived in Tennessee, so I'd program it to skew the geolocation to Nashville, so I could get Nashville local channels and watch Titans play. :D

    Not at all.

    First of all ... 6 matches? Seems kind of small for 3 hour PPV card, especially if anything gets pushed on to the kickoff show.

    I have to confess, I haven't seen a second of the Swann/Banks vs Fox/Dar feud. No interest at all, have fast forwarded the DVR every second of every promo and match. Blah.

    Neville vs Aries should be a great match, and I feel like WWE is truly trying ... but this division has never interested me. Which is sad, because it was my favorite part of WCW.

    Bliss vs Bayley ... never been excited about an "on a pole" match. lol

    Tag title match: I don't think the Hardy Boyz have been booked in a loss since their return (including the singles matches on Raw)? If you are going to book this match as a cage match, then they should have lost and let the challengers pick the cage match. Hardyz have made their entire career in ladder matches ... why on earth would they book a cage match against the 2 bigger, stronger heels? The heels should want the cage, to allow them to corner the faster, more agile babyfaces, so they can use their power to get their hands on the championships. Not a bad match or concept, but completely stupid booking to get us here.

    Everyone knows that Braun is suppose to be in the feud to get the belt from Brock during this summer, and that they are just making stuff up as they go along to try to figure out what to do, so they went into a full panic and decided to put everyone on the roster in the main event. lol Not expecting too much from this match.

    Dean vs Miz is always a fun match, but it carried SmackDown PPVs all year. Sad when the match I'm most looking forward to is a rematch for the 15th time this year. :p

    Literally the only 2 entertaining things I saw this past raw was the Golddust/R-Truth promos and that Corey Graves storyline is interesting.

    Heard rumors Cass is suppose to turn heel and send Enzo to 205 Live to try and make the show more marketable. It didn't even crack the top 20 for programs viewed on the Network the past couple of weeks.

    Yea, I'm glad to see Goldust getting back to the original character.

    I hate the breakup of Cass and Enzo. First, they're fun together. Second, they've not accomplished anything. Everytime they get a storyline over, the writer yank the run from under them, from someone feeling the need to break Demolition's tag title record and thus putting the entire division on hold for a year and a half to deciding we can't have 2 babyface tag teams, so we have to break one up. Third, sending Enzo to 205 is like attempting to increase viewership of WCW Saturday Night by booking Scott Hall exclusively on there during the height of the nWo run ... going to send your best bumper and hottest mic man to die alone in the desert? lol The entire thing is a head-scratcher.

    Totally not sure if the rumors are true, but you look at some of the writing/booking and you have to think to yourself, this is something they probably would actually do. They do a lot of bonehead things that I will never understand.

    Smackdown was decent, still don't understand the point of calling up Tye Dillinger and not putting him on TV though.

    But I also remember when Heath Slater was tag champs with Rhyno and they kept them off TV for an entire month before they lost titles. The reasoning was seriously because "Heath was getting too hot and getting too over, and he wasn't in any original major plans." So they purposely kept this dude off of tv to try, so when they lost the titles they didn't feel the need to push him.

    I long for the days it was the wrestlers job to get over and make the company push them cause they were an attraction, instead of pushing company appointed guys.
