Spending the Money
By Scott Keith on 6 September 2019
As we come up on the new Fox show, do you think WWE starts bringing back pyro and the unique PPV stages to make the shows seen like a bigger deal?
They cut them a long time ago, but with all the Saudi blood money & the Fox deal, they do have plenty of money to burn now…
Wouldn't make sense. With most of the money coming in as guaranteed TV money, they wouldn't be getting the kind of return on investment to justify that kind of spending on the sets. The philosophy now on PPV money seems to be basically treating it as a bonus on top of the "real" business.
