Before WWE PPVs began airing on the WWE Network for just $9.99 a month, they were sold each month on a PPV basis. The way to determine if a show was a success or not was from looking at the buyrate. Which was the total count of PPVs sold.
WWE Buyrate’s are so fascinating to me for so many reasons, because with these figures you can learn so much about the wrestling business and its history, simply by looking at what people wanted to pay for, and what they didn’t
What year was the company the hottest, what year was it the coldest, which wrestlers were actually draws, which were not, which rivalries made money, which didn’t, what PPV was an amazing wrestling show but didn’t have people tuned in and so on,
So i decided to nerd out and go deep into WWE PPV buyrate history from 1985 to 2014 which was when the WWE Network was launched, and in this video we are going to talk about the most successful shows the WWE had in its PPV era,
THESE ARE THE BEST SELLING PPVS IN WWE HISTORY!
