So TNA Impact gets around 1/3 of the TV viewers that RAW does, but only about 5% of the PPV buys of a bad WWE PPV. That's crazy. It's definitely the different booking philosophy. TNA treats a PPV as just another show, and they often use it to set up big matches on free TV. And maybe the fact that TV is the biggest show they have helps their TV ratings, who knows. Maybe 1/3 the TV and 5% of the buyrates is better than 1/5 of the TV and 15% of the buyrates. PPV is dying out, I think they're smart not to depend on it, if that's what they're consciously doing.

I think they should do a TNA gimmick PPV where the audience is all 7,000 people that bought the last PPV. Fly them in and everything.
