That's pretty good for RR right?

 

[Londrick]

So much for Big Dave's hollywood "success" helping the business. :maury

for first official number its above average and should see the rumble above 500,000 buys when its all said and done.

the first number wwe reported for the 2012 rumble was 443k and 446k in 2011

 

[wonder goat]

Interesting in that those are the last two PPVs before the launch of the network. Was EC usually getting lower buys than the RR?

EC was always lower than RR by a good amount.

yeah for preliminary its fine (higher than 2009, 2010, 2011, & 2012), with final buys it will likely be close or go past 500,000 buys. fhis year was not going to touch the 579,000 buys last year so that is expected ( and nothing will beat that especially with Network now; it might beat in most watched though depending the Network number next year)

 

[MrJamesJepsan]

Batista drew but still not as much The Great One Rocky did last year at the Rumble

 

[Reaper]

Yeah. This is pretty good .. final figure should be about the same as 2013 (498k buys) with the Rock and Punk headlining ----

Edit: NNM. My facts were wrong as they sometimes are.

 

[Pentegarn]

I wonder how many of those buys on the RR were from peeps thinking Bryan would be in the Rumble itself?

 

[Sonnen Says]

People wanted to blame Batista for it. His return helped it get higher initial buys it seems.

^^^ This.

I'm doubting that Hollywood Dave had any matter in the buys.

This times a million. I know I went to Winghouse with some friends and once he didn't come out you could hear the entire place let out a big groan. We will have to see where the final numbers end up at but overall it was pretty much status quo. The real big news of the day is that the WWE Network has a LOOOOOOONG way to go until it is successful.
