Wrestlers support TNAs decision to drop PPVS

Speaking during a recent interview, Bully Ray shared his belief
that less is more when it comes to wrestling Pay-Per-View. The
argument that pro wrestling should return to the days of four
major PPV's per year is a common one, both amongst fans and
those involved in the industry itself.
TNA have recently announced plans to scrap several shows from
the annual PPV calendar, with the idea being longer gaps between
events will lead to a sense of more importance on marquee PPV's
such as Lockdown or Bound For Glory.
Throwing his weight behind the argument, “Cowboy” James Storm –
one of TNA's homegrown stars – recently spoke to FSM. Talking of
the need to downsize the already over-saturated PPV market,
Storm agrees with Ray that their needs to be more of a special
feel to every major show.
“You have a PPV every month now, but there were only four per
year back when I was growing up. Nowadays, there's so much going
on with WWE, UFC and TNA all running there big shows on a
monthly basis, so I definitely think that wrestling should
return to only running those four big shows every year. That way
there's more time to build up storylines, and then see a bigger
pay-off from that”, Storm told FSM.
“I guess it boils down to the fact that Spike TV are the ones
who really pay the bills in TNA, so it's important to please
them. Hopefully it all comes together in the end, with the
Pay-Per-Views, TV show and live events. At the end of the day,
they're all important equally”.

The thing with arguments is they require opposition, and I've
yet to hear a single fan or wrestler say "Actually, I think 12 a
year is a great idea!".

Less is more. The wrestlers and fans sometimes get PPV fatigue.
So I'm in full support of it.
