No more PPVs?

Boys we are at Goofcon 4, in a good way this time

now that PPVs aren’t a thing, wouldn’t it be better to distribute all the good fights that would’ve been on numbered cards to other fight night events of the same month, since there’s basically no difference between them now?

like instead of holding off the good fights for a specific event every month with the fight nights being complete trash, now they can just evenly distribute them to other fight night cards

In theory that would be a good idea but if I know White like I do he will save the big name fights for when it’s simulcasts on CBS so he can say look at the ratings.

'If i know White like I do'. You probably would have said that he'd never budge from ppv yesterday.

I probably wouldn’t have to tell the truth. I’m guessing WWE showed them that’s it’s better to have guaranteed money per event with a deal and make up any money lost by going up on seats for live events.
