I took enough statistics courses to know Nash needs to come to terms with what happened. There's a clear point of drop off and sustained gains.

It was a fun time, anyway. How they handled the belt in WCW was more egregious than the FPoD.

HitGOAT was secretly Kliq'd up. Vinny Mac assisted with the screwjob so that Bret could land that 3yr/9 milly contract, which allowed Nash/Hall to cash in their Favored Nations clause (again), which eventually killed off WCW. :whew:

Stroke was a work too :jawalrus:

Nash always talking shyt about marks :russ:

That Goldberg shyt was hot and WCW ended it early because of Nash and Hogan. They also had Eddie, Benoit, Jericho, Rey, etc on their roster but wouldn't push them because they were too small. Meanwhile all of those guys carried WWE for a lot of the 2000s. :childplease: The fans wanted new stars and WCW wouldn't give it to them.

I see Nash is still get his :troll: on. Ol' Whisker Biscuits didn't cut up his hand until after the Fingerpoke of Doom. I hope no one expected Nash to man up and say, yeah, we fukked up that night.

He compared it to Hitler invading Russia, so he did in his own way

Yup... Plus HBK teased Austin returning in the opening segment and Cole and Lawler repeated it several times. But Foley is Good, got it?

Yeah man, WWE had new people coming up in the scene, besides taker/austin part 20

meanwhile, WCW takes the belt off the only new guy they pushed to the top, their hottest star...and give the strap back to Hogan ...only so they could have FLAIR VS HOGAN part 100000 as their top headliner again...:ufdup: Bischoff

I would if I could but there's no Copies left in the RedBoxes around here.:to:

Been thinking about getting a Copy off Amazon for $30.:manny:

I just can't Pay $60 for another THQ/WWE Product.:hmm:

game is exactly like WWE 12 minus some minor things, Attitude Era is the only fun new thing

its definitely only worth a few days of Redbox

Damn...pretty good but shyt compared to peak mania buys

Thanks

Sent from Seattle, by way of Ann Arbor on Tapatalk: The Remix

WWE says the last wrestlemania is the highest selling ever.... But it only got around 700,000 domestic.

So pretty much the same shyt as that Starrcade (they didn't sell PPVs internationally back then)



And WWE has only had 1 ppv that broke 900,000 domestic (Wrestlemania 17) The rest are much lower ie. 700s or less


So quite good actually ignoring Vince's manipulation. Not 'shyt compared to peak mania buys'



*edit*
Just looked up the buyrates: Starrcade 97 drew a 1.9 and Wrestlemania 17 drew a 2.1

Nothing touches Mike Tyson PPV domestic returns except for a few De Lay Hoya fights..the one with Mayweather being the highest. 700k in the US is a great success in this economy. No spinning necessary.

Oh yeah...he does, doesn't he? Him and Oscar have the highest to date. And he's been doing over a million fighting Ortiz, Mosley, and everyone else since 07.
