I think the economy is going to force WWE’s hand more than anything else as far as the outrageous ticket prices go. It’s not going to happen overnight but shyt has a chance to really go off the rails before long. I’m not going to politicize the thread though so I’ll just leave it at that.
Writing has been on the wall for a while now. More international PLEs where they charge higher prices, plus more free agent signings, plus the cutting down of live events.
They done signed some big free agents the past six months or even past year to that point & I'm sure those they got rid of weren't high on the payroll. They did get new tv deals tho. I know raw and sd got bigger deals & nxt might have also or around the same. Guess it depends on how much of those new deals were used for new talent signings.
I know they gonna tax that ass in Paris. I'm sure I remember the one in Lyons if i recall that being the location, was said to be high. And of course Summerslam at metlife since that's NYC area so that's already gonna be high plus second biggest PLE of the year. What's gotta be seen is how backlash looks in STL. Cuz that's not a big PLE or a major tourist city where they can justify large ticket costs.
.
look, because I along with others have been saying that vanilla midget cacs don't equal long term success. You look at any successful period in wrestling post segregation and it was always a melting pot of stars, and you look at the down periods and it's when the promotions were using 99% cacs as their main attractions.
