I was just wondering how many people order all pay per views, some, or none. Personally, I believe I've ordered 2 in my adult life. (Both Royal Rumbles) I also saw the one where Owen's accident occurred, at a guy's house who had one of those descrambler boxes. I don't order them because I can't see paying that much for them. If they were 15 bucks, maybe I'd order, but the way the prices keep going up, I doubt I'll ever watch another one live. What are your thoughts?

We get 6 free in the UK anyway
As for the other 8. I always buy the big 4
As for the other 4. I usually buy 2 that have a good card and get the other 2 from my friend

i feel the same way, i usually will order wrestlemania every year, but i didn't even do that this year. didn't seem like it was the 50 dollars they were asking for it.

I usually order every one. My mom and my sister both watch, though, so I try to mooch off them every opportunity I can.

I'm one of the rare fans who still order them all. Were a dying breed.

When I could afford to get them all, I just about did, maybe miss one per year, but, heck, i've missed the last 3 wrestlemanias. but yea, its a matter of money, if i could afford it, i would, although i don't watch Smackdown at all, so maybe not thier PPVs

I order just about all of them. I've only missed 3 in the past year and a half. Before that, I had fallen out of watching WWE, so I could've cared less, although I haven't missed a WrestleMania in 8 years. I mean, it's WRESTLEMANIA, baby!

I have a friend with a descrambler and I still don't watch them, not even WrestleMania. I'm from the old style of fan where if the show doesn't interest me I don't watch free or not. I won't watch just because of name value.

I only stick with Royal Rumble and WrestleMania no matter what and depending on the card, I might order more. If not, I go to the local sports bar, get some good food and watch them for free.

i used to order them all. I maybe missed 4 or 5 from KOTR 94 to Summerslam 03. But then going to college and having no steady income or cable access really cuts back. There was a group on campus that ordered them and it only cost $5, but they stopped after a semester. Since then, I've seen WMXX, Badd Blood, Summerslam, New Year Revolution (hey, looked good on paper), and WM XXI.
The only way I'll order a PPV now is if I think that at least one or two matches will be good or is a major PPV, like Summerslam or WM.

i always get the big 4 which are survivor series, royal rumble, summerslam, and wrestlemania. i usually try to watch the raw ppvs one way or the other but i dont really mind missing them all that much. like if im home and i think the card is good i might go for it.
smackdown i dont even care and only watch if one of my freinds orders it or i get it for free somehow.
i used to have the box but no longer. i definitly need another one

I used to order EVERY PPV (WWF and wCw) from 1993 til about 2000. But when the woman who introduced me to wrasslin, my godmother, died in 2001, I gave up on PPVs and almost all wrestling in general.
From there, I gradually got back into buying PPVs, usually the Big 4 and the ones that had a smack-dab great main event.
And now that I know we have like two or three Blast! Areas in the area, I haven't paid for a PPV since NYR. Like one post said, it looked good on paper (actually, I wanted to see what they could do in Puerto Rico of all places).

I see them all of them at my blast arena, for 7 bucks each. I ordered my first ppv, when Wrestlemania wouldn't play for some reason, and I rushed home and ordered it on PPV. Before i started going to the place, I never ordered a ppv.

I ordered every WWF PPV from Armageddon '99 thru Survivor Series '02.
Though the last couple of years I've gotten 'Mania and I plan on ordering One Night Stand in June.

Back in 99 I used to go to the local sports bar to watch every WWF and WCW PPV.
For a while last year I went over to a friend's house to watch them. I saw Great American Bash, Judgement Day, SummerSlam and No Mercy. No Mercy being the only decent one.
Now I usually wait a day or two to get a tape or something. They haven't given me a card worth ordering so I haven't.
