Nope, theres no PPV market in Brazil, all PPVs and fight nights are shown on a few different sports channels on tv(for UFC anyway, might be dfferent for WWE like in the UK), they do get HUGE ratings and take ad breaks and are thus worth significant advertising revenue though.

I love Lesnar, I feel fortunate every time I watch him in WWE TV. I say pay him what he wants, even if it's just to make special appearances.

Amazing that he can bring in the numbers with such a small uninteresting build.

As to whether or not it was good move to bring him in why don't we just wait to the quarter reports come in.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Summerslam '09 do 369,000 buys overall, almost 20,000 more than this year?

Brock = Buy rates. Put him and Henry together and watch the billions roll in.

Maybe we'll get more appearances if he does indeed re-sign as a result of Summerslam's success. He draws, so why not milk the shit out of it? Brock/Rock, Brock/'Taker on top of the inevitable blockbuster rematch between Brock/HHH. Hell, maybe even a rematch between Brock/Cena.

Big fuckin' money for WWE right there.

He'll probably have some explicit demands, but he's definitely worth it.

They need all the legit stars they can get right now because the current talent just don't cut it. Brock could outdraw the entire roster combined.

PUNK VS DRUGGIE == BUYRATES

Brock > 98% of the entire roster.

Brock is the reason for this PPV success. Keep his dates limited. They mean more when he shows up. This PPV might of been even more successful if they didn't have him lose to Cena in the fashion he did at Extreme Rules. I'm pretty sure that turned off a lot of people who's decision on investing their time into Lesnar focused on how he would be treated in that match.

WM 29 should be headlined by Rock/Cena II, Lesnar/Taker and Punk/HHH.

JAROTO · 09-29-2012, 08:25 AM

Rock + Lesnar = $$$$$$$$$$$
