On average, how much of your money does WWE get?

[Threadkiller [Classic]]

So what kind of WWE customer are you?

Does WWE get a lot of your money? Or just a little bit? Or maybe none at all?

A LOT: The whole nine yards (PPV, Live events, merchandise, DVDs, 24/7, WWE Studios Movies, etc.)

A pretty sizeable chunk: Perhaps you order the PPVs, buy the DVDs, and have a 24/7 subscription. Or some other combination of products. And you purchase these things on a semi-regular basis.

A fairly reasonable amount: You order the PPVs if they interest you, and you might buy a DVD of a performer you like, maybe buy a ticket to a live event if they're in town. You spend money, but it's not like it makes a huge dent in your account.

Not very much at all, really: You either buy a DVD of a performer you like, or a PPV that interests you, but rarely, if ever, do you do both.

WWE doesn't get my damn money: You don't feel the current product warrants your hard-earned dollars, nor do you feel passionate enough about the historical product to sit through inumerable, awkward edits and blurring.

Where do you fall?

The last thing I bought from WWE was WrestleMania this year.

And before that, WrestleMania last year.

WWE wants my money, they're gonna have to step up and EARN it to make up for the increased prices on....well, everything.

[Jobes]

In the past five years, I've spent maybe $500 dollars on tix and merchandise. That's $100 a year. So, not very much at all.

[mrbananagrabber]

It's hard to say, because I have SKY in the UK, and pay the full Sky Sports package (all the normal channels plus all the sports channels). I don't watch any other sport besides wrestling, so I don't know if that counts or not. I imagine WWE get a fair percentage of Sky Sports subscription, but other than the odd PPV (usually just Mania and Rumble) that's it. I used to buy magazines before the net made them pointless, and I'm not into figures or t-shirts. TV only, and that's enough a month.

[Klutch]

Not a lot anymore. I buy the occasional DVD, and Smackdown vs Raw when it comes out every year.

[Threadkiller [Classic]]

I started this thread and yet completely forgot to mention where my chips fall.

Me, I spend a reasonable amount. I have a 24/7 subscription, had bought a year's subscription to WWEClassicsOnline (before they eviscerated the shit out of the content), and got Mania and the Rumble this year. So I spent about $150. There have been sets I've wanted to buy, but I just can't ever bring myself to go out and get them. And the Smackdown brand is coming to my local arena next Sunday, and I just can't really bring myself to go to that either.

So WWE gets some of my money, but not nearly as much as they would like to get.

[Grotto]

I buy WrestleMania every year. That's it. And this year I got it for free because DishNetwork messed up at my house during the Michaels/Taker match. So I got online and watch a ripped feed just to catch the end of it...then called Dish to have them reimburse me.

Once in a great while I will catch a live event if it is close to my house. Plus Smackdown/Raw video game, but only used...never new.

[Azrael from Outerspace]

A reasonable amount as i usually order all PPVs and am rarely disappointed. But i haven't really brought any new DVDs in a while since that has gone towards indie wrestling.

[Beartato]

The last time I gave money to WWE was when I bought SvR2k6. Besides that, it was SvR, DoR, and Wrestlemania XIX for the GC. I never paid for the PPVs or anything else besides those four games. I'm not a very profitable fan lol.

[OB91]

Smackdown vs Raw 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008.

Wrestlemania 21, 22.

Two live event shows.

So sod all really. Though they will be getting an influx of my cash when I go to two tv tapings, RAW and Smackdown in Manchester.

[YellowJacketY2J]

I'd say they get a good amount from me. I order the PPV's occasionally (recently ordered Summerslam and plan on ordering Night of Champions); purchase DVD's occasionally (recently purchased Best of Raw: Seasons 1 & 2 and Ricky Steamboat: The Life Story of the Dragon); own quite a few wrestling shirts, with the new Sheamus one on my "to purchase" list; have paid to see each film of theirs on DVD, with Legendary being my first one in theaters (I made a forty-five minute trek to see it, though that was so I could review it); have a subscription to WWE Classics; have attended a few live events.

I used to have a subscription to the magazine, but cancelled that about two years ago since I rarely found myself reading them anymore (I'm more into PWI and The Wrestler). When I was a kid, I purchased a bunch of the action figures. I have since given them to my nephew, and do plan on buying him some more in the future.

[Ryback on a Pole!]

Very little (even though I accidentally voted for none)

I paid a bit towards wrestlemania this year with some mates, got a few dvds, video games and a few shirts.

Even then I try to buy off dealers on ebay because it's much cheaper than buying direct from the WWE.

[Deleted]

since 2004 i've bought about 5 dvd's and 4 wrestlemanias

so not much really

[The Peoples Elbow]

I buy Wrestlemania and RR PPVs each year, and that's about it. But they get my support every Monday and Friday (I DVR it and watch it when I have free time).

[Urethra Franklin]

The occasional TV taping/PPV ticket, video game (though, I haven't bought one in 3 years), and the (split) cost of WrestleMania every year. That's it.

[Thaal Sinestro]

I voted the last one then remembered I buy video games so uh, the second to last one : D

[theryno665]

I rarely buy PPVs. If I do, it's usually to chip in to get Wrestlemania. I used to buy a lot of their DVDs but not so much anymore. And I just went to my first live event earlier this year.

[VengeanceGOD]

Not very much at all. I buy tickets to the live events, and t-shirts when I'm at those events, and that's about it.

Same here. Though last year I waited for a price drop before getting SvR. You know you've lost faith when you've been a lifelong fan and Wrestlemania comes to your home city and you choose not to go to it.

[CarnieWC]

I pay for the WM PPV each year, maybe one live show if there is a PPV or live RAW here. Otherwise nothing else. I watch the rest of the PPVs through Paltalk, so they get more of my $ than WWE, lol.
