    "Buy rates" refers to how many people who COULD have bought the PPV actually DID.

    Increasing the purchase price of PPVs is a direct response to the money the WWE is losing due to piracy (increasingly more and more people are stealing PPVs via internet "streams" instead of buying the shows themselves). Sure, the cost of everything keeps going up everywhere (TNA increased the price of their PPVs, too) but if the piracy stops the WWE will make more money and the PPV prices will not increase so often.

    I don't like it; WWE PPVs are rarely worth the asking price as they are; but I understand the reasons for it (piracy, mostly). It is the way it's always been. The thieves will continue to steal, and the honest people who buy goods and services get punished (by the increasing prices).

    It is beyond stupid. There are way too many ppv's. WWE made a smart move by making the non-major ones unique (HITC, TLC, Breaking Point). The only ppv's that should be that expensive are Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania and Summerslam. The rest are just a waste of money. They would be better served to reduce the number of ppv's by a few and have a few clash of the champions type shows on tv like WCW used to do.
