HHH Doesn't Want Orton Jobbing, WWE Cutting Back On PPVs, Mania Buys Up
[Previous Article] - [Next Article]|
source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter Triple H doesn't want Randy Orton jobbing until he comes back. So Orton is pretty much going to be untouched until SummerSlam. At this point, WWE doesn't know how to appease both individuals. Company sources say that Vince McMahon has admitted in private that the company is running too many pay-per-views. The expectation is they will cut back from 15 to 14 in 2008, although which PPV that gets dropped has not been decided on. The most likely candidates are One Night Stand, Cyber Sunday or New Year's Revolution. Early estimates pegged WrestleMania 23 at doing 1,200,000 buys, an all-time record for the company on pay-per-view. It is now figured at having done 1,175,000 buys and 750,000 domestic buys, so we're looking at 1,925,000 buys alltogether, nearly 2 million. |
