Miz Being Blamed for Low Survivor Series Buys

Quote :

WWE officials contemplated months ago of putting The Miz back in the WWE
Championship picture come January. That did not happen and he has not
won a televised singles match since the December 5, 2011 edition of Raw.
There are people within WWE who believe top officials are blaming him
for the Survivor Series drawing a disappointing buy number. Teaming with
R-Truth, he appeared in the main event against John Cena and The Rock.

The
pay-per-view event, which featured The Rock’s first wrestling match in
over seven years, is estimated to have garnered 260,000 buys worldwide.
It was reported that of that figure, 160,000 pay-per-view purchases came
from the United States.

The estimate compares to 244,000 buys
in 2010 and 235,000 in 2009, which nearly got the show scrapped from the
annual pay-per-view line-up.

This is a fucking JOKE. Leave it to WWE to scapegoat someone that isnt
Rock or Cena...those 2 assmonkeys were in the match as well.

This
PPV was overhyped on the fact that Rock and Cena were teaming for the
first time and never again...yet its neither one of their faults? Get
the fuck outta here with that nonsense.

no, the blame goes on Cena and Rock, because the PPV was hyped up so god damn much for those 2 alone for 2 months

^ yes what Dead said.

pfft at blaming RTruth.

The reason it sucked was because no other match on the card really got any sort of hype, it was just a PPV about Rock and Cena

its because wwe hyped the match and didn't get what they expected and can't admit its their own faults

I don't like The Miz or K Kwik but i'm pretty sure they didn't single handedly ruin the ppv, wwe in general just sucks shitty ass now....

How could it possibly be one man's fault for low buy rates?

So "better than last year" is bad now, hm? Well, what about the Survivor Series' namesake match? Maybe if they had hyped that one up, people would have bought the PPV.

Its like WWE blaming CM Punk for Raw's low ratings lol...Never ends.

I'm waiting for a report that WWE blames Kharma for the lack of increase in diva ratings after she debuts or something lol.

Because of the hype surrounding The Rock and Cena vs Miz and R-Truth many people probably didnt know what was on the card. I still am not sure what was on the card.

Basically, cos of the hype, if people weren't interested in the tag match, they wouldnt buy it.
