By 2011, BFG was being cited as 20k-25k, so a drop to 7k is pretty much in line with that I guess.

By comparison, here's the latest from the 2011 WWE earnings report
WWE Hell in a Cell – 182,000 (compared to 210,000 in 2010)
WWE Vengeance – 121,000 (compared to 137,000 as Bragging Rights in 2010)
Survivor Series 2011 – 281,000 (compared to 244,000 in 2010)
WWE TLC – 179,000 (compared to 195,000 in 2010)

Wow, that is substantial. I wonder if they will be able to keep up operations much longer. They had a decent product and changed it to try to compete with the WWE and now they probably screwed themselves.
