Lesnar vs. Cena Buyrates

[captaincharisma]

i have no idea what these numbers mean, is this good?

Brock Lesnar's first WWE match in over 8 years, did 251,000 buys (147,000 in North America, 104,000 internationally). Last year's Extreme Rules did a total of 209,000 buys.

More than I thought it would be, they rushed the feud, but this is what you got out of 3 weeks of buildup.

Made no sense to do it this fast. Should of happened at Summerslam....them needing to try to save face for Cena after him promising to win and coming up short at the big show is some is some hilarious shyt though. Worst decision making than anything Dixie Carter has done this year.

"strike while the iron is hot" mentality..something i agree with on this angle.


buildup would have beeen better for the wrestling fan, but not for buys. a lot of these were converted MMA Lesnar stans just wanting to see their guy.


they aint tryna watch this GARBAGE for weeks on end like we do

Well they could have done a better job of getting the awareness out to those MMA fans, according to Dana, they don't watch wrestling.

It's a good number when you consider the PPV after Mania hasn't done 250k buys since 2005.

 

[Da King]

It's 2012, the fact a quarter million people bought a non major PPV is good

 

[R=G]

Nope. Lesnar is getting $5 million...he's supposed to have box office numbers. Anything less is gonna be mediocre. Him having the match was a terrible idea..him losing was outright insanity.

Pretty much, if Lesnar had not been involved that number would be looking .

Wait until the over the limit #s come out

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Not bad. If Lesnar isn't in the main event this would have done 180k

 

[Jmare007]

Wait until the over the limit #s come out

best case scenario it's gonna do












105k

She just hired Brooke Hogan to oversee TALENT. That quote is def debatable but i see what you mean.

Vince still knows and is the master of one thing. He stay runnin nikkas' pockets

Not bad for a feud that was booked built and blown off with the quickness. But this ain't the numbers Brock was cakin on in the UFC I did expect more but than again I was watchin via other means anyway haha the tsc non buyrates didn't make it
