Jakyl Fun Fact

There were 121 "WWF" PPVs.

There have been 133 "WWE" PPVs.

Seems funny, doesn't it?

Elimination Chamber 2011 put WWE in the lead.

Not really, seeing as they used to not do 14 PPVs a year or whatever ungodly number it is these days.

The rise of WWE PPVs:

1985: 2
1986: 1
1987: 2
1988: 3
1989-'90: 4
1991: 5
1992: 4
1993-'94: 5
1995: 10
1996-'03: 12

2006: 16
2007: 15
2008-'09: 14
2010-'11: 13
2012: 12

13 is not that "ungodly," and they only have 12 scheduled for this year!

Oh god I remember this. Three PPVs across four Sundays at the end of the year. I think it was like Survivor Series one week, December to Dismember the next, a week off, and then Armageddon or whatever. And they were all pretty ****ing bad, but D2D took the cake.

Well yeah, I mean there were 18 WWF Wrestlemanias and we're about to hit only the 10th WWE Wrestlemania. It shouldn't surprise anyone that the WWF still doubles WWE in terms of "time in existence under that name." But WWE is catching up!

But it still surprised me that it took less than 9 years for WWE to surpass WWF in number of PPVs.

Hey, you're already watching 14 per year to include the UK PPVs.

If you include those, then it's a little closer. 9 WWF UK PPVs and. 2 WWE UK PPVs to add onto those totals from earlier.

Stephanie McMahon revealed in her interview with Entertainment Weekly that WWE plans to take a page out of the Twilight book to promote the John Cena vs. The Rock WrestleMania 28 main event. She said she wants fans to get engaged like teams similar to Team Edward vs. Team Jacob.

"My team talked about ways to get people engaged in our main event, which is The Rock against John Cena. We want fans to take sides and engage in virtual face-offs - think Team Edward vs. Team Jacob."



I bet Stephanie is totally Team Jacob.

Also Dolph Ziggler, who has a championship match at the next PPV, Mark Henry, who can't wrestle right now and mostly just gets scheduled for matches and disqualified, and David Otunga, big time jobber is the other team. This is even more bizarre than that Cena, Show, & Ryder vs Swagger and Henry match.

Mark Henry isn't medically cleared to compete, the title can't change hands. Zack Ryder isn't medically cleared to compete, and he forfeits his title if he can't compete?

Ryder is consciously defying the doctor's orders, whereas Henry never had the chance to agree to fight or not.

He shouldn't REALLY be able to do that, but that's the logic.
