I didn't know their buy-rates were lower, but I remember enjoying them a lot more than I do the PPVs now. And I am definitely getting tired of the night after one PPV, they say on RAW they're "Three weeks away from Somesuchnonsense" But I also have to side with Mr. Pritchard. ECW can't handle a PPV with the roster they've given it. I think RAW could, if booked better, but not ECW. I agree with the idea of bringing back the brand-exclusive PPVs.

I understand at the time they made it up to 12 to compete with WCW. Still too many like Magnum T.A. said once "You can't have a super bowl every month". Feuds go so long. How many times can Orton wrestle Cena for the Championship or HHH for that matter. At least on Smackdown they are trying something new, CM Punk and Hardy is a great feud since they haven't wrestled each other much. Go back to 5 PPV and let the talent progress, over time they will get better. I say there is just to many PPV. I understand at the time they made it up to 12 to compete with WCW.

However Raw doesn't have enough serious talent to have a full pay per view to themselves as they have too many comedy acts like Festus, Hornswoggle etc. ECW also couldn't handle a Pay per view and the one they did have was a disaster. However if you were to mix the ECW & Raw Pay per view that wouldn't be a bad idea. I kind of agree with the idea of Brand pay per views as a show like Smackdown would benefit from it.
