TNA Bound for Glory Attendance & Buy Rate Figures, Vince Calls SSlam a “Swing & a Miss”

Vince Calls SSlam a "Swing & a Miss"
During today's conference call to discuss the third quarter financial results, Vince McMahon said he was not happy with this year's SummerSlam buy rate, and felt fans didn't "buy the attraction." He went on to say that for PPV, you need the right attraction, and SummerSlam was a "swing and a miss" for WWE.

Real translation: Daniel Bryan doesn't draw

 

[Londrick]

That's what happens when you push vanilla midgets. Punk and Bryan shouldn't be main eventing and Summerslam's buys prove it.

 

[Choke2Death]

So now he should know not to waste Brock Lesnar on anymore indy midgets. :brock

Real translation: Daniel Bryan doesn't draw

A lot of marks will not get the hint although some marks still think they are going to be headlining WM.

 

[RenegadexParagon]

Needs more Dwayne Johnson :rock

 

[Catsaregreat]

Maybe thats why Vince said NO to Daniel Bryan as WWE Champ.

 

[BigSams50]

Well, Vince doesnt like the Summerslam buy rates, no way Bryan main events Wrestlemania now

 

[Vin Ghostal]

Honestly, it doesn't matter who you mark for. If you don't interpret this comment as a SIGNIFICANT shot at Daniel Bryan and CM Punk, then you don't understand what's happening here.

Thats whats happen when you waste Cena and Lesnar on drawing cancers at your second biggest PPV.

 

[Raw2003]

Then maybe you should built Daniel Bryan as legit threat instead of calling him a goat face troll then more fans would have bought it

This. They never really built up DB, Cena kind of just picked him. Even in the corporation storyline, all they do is dog him and he never gets pay back. They never swung with Daniel Bryan, they jabbed.

 

[Riddle101]

People forget that Cena and Brock Lesnar were also headlining the show. So it can't just be Punk and Bryan's fault.

 

[insanitydefined]

It was one of the better PPV's they've put on in years, I can understand from a business perspective why you would call it a swing and a miss since it didn't draw as well as they would have liked, but that doesn't take away from the quality of the show.

daniel bryan might be buddah to a lot of you guys, but in my eyes and the rest of the "real world" he'll never draw a dime. Neither will Punk for that matter, but I don't go around saying Punk is on the same level as Austin Hogan and Rock because of a few YES chants.

 

[HankHill_85]

It's disappointing and frustrating that Summerslam didn't draw better. I was hoping for numbers on par with 2012 or higher. It was a great-looking show on paper and ended up being a fantastic pay-per-view, and much more satisfying than Wrestlemania 29.

And those that are blaming guys like Bryan and Punk, you really don't know jack shit. Takes two to tango, and you conveniently forget that Cena and Lesnar were the other participants in both main events. But I'm also not placing blame on any wrestler involved.

 

[TheGodsofChristmas]

Lol at everyone claiming Punk and Bryan aren't draws even though there's evidence that proves otherwise.

That's the most retarded thing I've ever heard. It doesn't matter what you think, both of them draw viewers, whether you like it or not. This has been proven countless times. It isn't a matter of opinion, and to claim otherwise is idiotic.

 

[Chismo]

This is what happens, Larry.
