Last year’s WWE Money in the Bank pay per view headlined by Sheamus vs. John Cena did 189,000 buys. Domestically the show reportedly did about 99,000 buys. That would obviously put this year’s number at around 227,000, and say about 120,000 domestic. That looks great initially but according to CM Punk fans before Money in the Bank, this buyrate was supposed to be gigantic. Sorry Punk fans but 20% is not a gigantic increase.
Let’s put this into some more perspective. The buyrate would still be down from Night of Champions 2009 headlined by Triple H vs. John Cena vs. Randy Orton in the same spot, which did 267,000 buys. Money in the Bank 2011 would still ne about 10% above than Extreme Rules 2011 a couple of months earlier. Extreme Rules did around 209,000 buys overall. MITB did do much better than Over the Limit and Capitol Punishment, so that is certainly a positive.
BQ: I'd choose MITB, while Summerslam was good the ending was pretty predictable and I think we all knew somehow ADR would become the new WWE Champion.
I have to say the reason that Money In The Bank didn't increase it's numbers as much as people thought is that it was broadcast on Sky Sports live for FREE, so anyone with access to Sky Sports would watch it for free. These are the viewing figures for WWE Money In The Bank & Over The Limit.
Money In The Bank - 210,000
Over the Limit - 159,000
This shows that there was an increase by about 37%. I would imagine that MITB would have had maybe an extra 30-40% of this number in buys if it wasn't free in the UK.
Miz fit MITB is was free last year too. And the numbers you have are only the american numbers. MITB was way better than summerslam i thought summerslam was atrocius.
Not an easy qstn,Really
