Recently WWE held an annual shareholders meeting covering a mixture of different aspects of the company.
Vince opened this meeting by talking about people holding Wrestlemania parties; this increases the overall views but hurts overall buys.
Vince said this relates to PPV price increase.
Now I am not sure if it is only taking affect in the USA or going world wide. At the moment we Brits pay around £15 for a Box Office WWE PPV, which is already quite steep for 3 hours of viewing. If this increases I don’t see many people wanting to pay, epically with the lacklustre shows that WWE is currently producing due to there PG rating.
My advice is unless you are a hardcore WWE fan; do not pay to watch it alone. My advice is to try and get an invite to a PPV party or throw one yourself, the more people together the less each will have to pay.

Don’t forget Raw tonight at 2am guest host “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” star Wayne Bardy.
I’m hoping this will be a funny Raw as Wayne Brady is a ledged of improve comedy as well as a great presenter, actor and singer.
Also we may be looking at Cena vs. Batista yet again, if this match is to happen I see it being samey and boring, I am hoping they add in some partners to make it a Tag match of some kind, maybe Cena and The Heart Dynasty could be a good combo or maybe even work in Wayne for a gimmick match.
I am interested in what we will be seeing from some new fresh story lines tonight as Raw focuses most of there nights around the WWE championship.
Hopefully we will see Orton and Edge continue there feud I think we can see a good few matches out of it, plus any chance to have Randy become the Viper and nail the Rope hung DDT, the Irish whip scoop slam, the RKO in full Viper form and maybe even a punt is always great to see.
Randy is Fast becoming one of those Superstars that you want to see in a match regardless of who he is against as long as he is doing what we all get behind and he is fast becoming a very big fan favourite.
Edge is heading back into a heel state which is preferred by most of his fans and with his in ring skill I see this becoming a great set of matches done well with close calls and nail biting stuff.
If this all comes forth I am looking forward to it and I expect some of the best matches in resent months, also showing that WWE can put on a good show even with a PG rating, although blood would still help improve things in places. But there is no need to flood the ring with it like in some of TNA’s extreme matches such as there Monsters Ball.
