For a lot of the crap they have put out, I voted they should be free. I haven't bought a PPV in over a year, and that's because they honestly don't feel like they're worth it anymore.

What about this:
If the PPVs were free up until the start of either the WWE Championship or WHC match (whichever comes first), at which point it would scramble or disappear. That might increase buyrates if people are into it for the first while and are excited to see the title matches.
It could give you a 5-minute warning/notice or something, to remind you to call the cable company or press the button on the remote or whatever.

They should be $14 billion! No joke. Vince wouldn't even be able to buy one. (Neither would Ted Turner I don't think). So Bill Gates might be able to see 3 PPVs. The Wal-Mart owners might be able to see 2. Warren Buffett might barely be able to see one. The Canadian Government might be able to watch 15 of them. Though Ted DiBiase might be able to watch 1,000,000 of them. (imagine if a baby accidentally hit the PPV button on the remote!!!)

Vince could pay people $24 each to watch Wrestlemania 24 (you would need to give your e-mail, house address, and phone number).
Not long after you would get lots of spam, plenty of fliers and other advertising in your mailbox, and 100 phone calls a day from telemarketers.
Then, between each match, there would be 100 commercials.

I think they should be 20 bucks, tops 30 for the big ones like Mania, SummerSlam, Rumble, Survivor Series. I still find myself paying 40 bucks for them anymore though then just am pissed afterwards. If they're raising it 10 bucks for HD now I'm staring at 50 bucks a pop and 60 for WrestleMania? That's freakin ridiculous. I really need to cut back on the amount of them I buy if that's the case. If they were only 20 bucks a pop I wouldn't mind but come on...

$19.99, not a penny more, not a penny less.

WTF? Alot of people here would rather pay 20 dollars than see it for free? I picked the "They should be free" option.

If WrestleMania were $80 then every wrestler could probably get the same amount of pyro as JBL, we could have more celebrities, and other expensive stuff.

Ten dollars per hour. So bout 30 bucks is a good enough price.

Would anyone pay $100 for Wrestlemania 24 if the Rock was going to be in it?

$100. I mean anything with the potential to have Lance Cade, Cody Rhodes, or Hornswaggle, is worth its weight in gold, it is.

$10 for the non marquee events. $20 for RR, SS and SS $40 for WM
I'd buy all of them at this price.

So the bad quality would become atrocious quality then?

Wrestlemania, I understand the 50$. I don't, unless there is somehow a more limited supply of Wrestlemania than other PPVs, or Wrestlemania is always as long as WM20 was.
