WrestleMania 8 had about 14,000 people with complimentary tickets and in the last three weeks before the show (during which they sold about 25,000 tickets) the average price paid for a ticket was $10. So there were "only" about 23,000 who paid proper prices.

A grand tradition there of “whatever it takes to make stadia look decent.” See also, Rumble 97.

Random one that popped into my head recently. In 2002, why did WWE go gung ho on unifying all of the mid-card titles (Intercontinental, European, Hardcore) just to re-introduce mid-card titles (including the Intercontinental Championship again) months later?

I don't remember if it was planned that way, but didn't it all end with HHH ending them during his reign of terror to legitimise his newly handed to him World Heavyweight title?

 I think that was the case with the Intercontinental, but the Euro and Hardcore belts had been folded into the IC earlier that summer.

I think Triple H might have still been champion when they brought the IC title back!

I may be off with the timeline but was it not to ensure that the unified champions could go between Raw and Smackdown and by reducing the number of titles ensured that there were more wrestlers who could be brand exclusive

 

I always thought 2001/2002 WWF/E was such a crazy place all round, with all the competition going, the name change, brand split, Austin walking out and Vince ploughing a fair bit into the XWF etc.

So what are they doing with the ppvs when wwe goes to netflix in the UK? Are they an extra or do you get them with standard subscription?

Great. I've picked a good time to start watching wwe again. Do you remember years ago when all the shows use to be on sky sports not ppv?

As someone who doesn’t watch NXT, is Lexis King aka Brian Pillman Jnr any good ?

How many matches did you have that gives you the right to question his ability?

[Merzbow]

He's shit, I don't know how but he's regressed as a wrestler.

Ah yes, because you can never criticise someone unless you've done the same job as them.

I clotheslined my mate on the football pitch at school. I told a teacher to suck it. And I regularly recited the New Age Outlaws intro while I was on door duty during breaks.

If anything I'm overqualified.

[wandshogun09]

Yeah by that logic you also wouldn’t be qualified to say a wrestler is good either. That leaves this forum with basically only the pooing threads.
