Correct me if im wrong, but didnt money in the bank get one of the lowest ppv buys ever?
And the themed ppvs have been a little dire?
from previous reports I had the notion that MITB was being axed and would instead the MITB match would stay on the mania card but i guess not. Obviously these things can change afterall there wasnt supposed to be a Survivor Series this year at all apparently.
I was quite interested to see the number of PPV and how they are spaced out again this year. The build to PPVs and buyrates suffer as a result of having PPVs so close together but i guess 2 bad buy rates > 1 good buyrate for the WWE atm.
HIAC imo suffered from the above, given time to build to that event it should get great buyrates and see the culmination of big feuds before the build to Survivor series feuds happen on the way through bragging rights. However with only 2 weeks between NOC and HIAC instead the PPV just seemed like a hangover from NOC but this time for some reason in a cell. The PPV didnt seem nearly as significant as it could have but i guess if they were going to place any minor PPV so closely after another PPV then they thought HIAC could draw on name value alone.0 -

Wm X7 was on channel 4.
But that was the only one, of course.

I never had sky at home, even today I don't in my mothers.
I see wrestling by streaming, or my dads.
And I remember watching 17 and school the next day telling everyone about it.
Like seeing the montage at the very end with my way playing over it, I was amazed at the quickness of it being edited together.
Totally weird. I remember being in sixth year, and having to wait until my mate brought me in his copy a couple days later. That usually only happened with the sky ones.
I had no wit back then though, so it's possible I got it wrong, but I was definitely in the habit of taping them myself on channel 4 at that point! Would have deserved a mightly slap if I missed it just by not checking the tv guide!
Must find confirmation of this............... 0 -

No if you read this press release, it shows that Wrestlemania never moved to Channel 4. The Royal Rumble was the only one of the major PPVs that Channel 4 showed.
I hated Channel 4 showing the PPVs, they were delayed by 50 minutes and the signal for Channel 4 here is pretty crap. Anything controversial or risqué was liable to be edited despite it being on in the middle of the night.
On a sidenote, Wrestlemania X-7 was awesome
http://corporate.wwe.com/news/2000/2000_02_01.jspSTAMFORD, Conn., Feb. 1, 2000--WWE Entertainment, Inc. (NMS: WWE) has announced a strategically significant television distribution agreement with Channel 4 Television Corporation in the United Kingdom, WWE's most important international market.
WWE has sold 62 hours of first run programming for $1.136 million per year to Channel 4, representing WWE's debut on free national network television in the UK, complementing WWE's current 290 hour per year agreement with British Sky Broadcasting (LSE: BSY.L).
Channel 4 will broadcast 52 hours of WWE Sunday Night Heat, seen domestically on cable on USA Network on Sundays at 7-8 PM; and four, exclusive 2.5 hour replays of domestic Pay-Per-View events Royal Rumble in January, Backlash in April, Fully Loaded in July, and Armageddon in December. BSKYB currently broadcasts WWE RAW IS WAR, WWE LiveWire, WWE Metal, WWE SuperStars and eight 2.5 hour specials based on replays of WWE's other domestic PPV events.
As a result, Andrew Whitaker, WWE Senior Vice President of International TV Distribution, said the Company has become one of the leading suppliers of television programming to the UK market. David Kerr, Channel 4's Assistant Editor for Sports, says, "WWE is a ratings phenomenon worldwide, and is massively popular in the UK. This is a great opportunity to bring the action to a wider terrestrial audience. WWE fans in this country are being catered to as never before."
Edit: Here is more chatter about the Channel 4 PPVs http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=72450 -
I hated the Channel 4 PPVs. I was paying for Sky Sports already, and C4 had ad breaks. I never forgave them for cutting THE ROCK OFF during a promo (think it was RR00). I still blame Ms Kitty for C4 getting PPVs in the first place, and consequently started the trend of having to pay on SBO for PPVs I was fine with those English shows being SBO, but not the monthly main WWF ones 0

Wrestlemania X7 was the gretatest PPV of the last 20 years in my opinion, but it was definately on Sky Sports. The only good thign about Wrestlemania these times in Undertakers Streak, which we will prob be seeing the last of next year 0 -

Pain. In. The. Ass!
I remember hearing that they wanted to see how the MITB ppv went down to know if they will have the match taken off the mania card.
So when it bombed buys-wise, i assumed it was good news. 0 -
