I have a couple of buddies who will split the cost with me or provide the booze and food when we watch, so it's not a massive deal but it still strikes me as out of touch in the current environment.

You would think marketing wise that they would do a reduced rate to attract the casual fans and try to convert them with an exceptional PPV.

It's really too bad that they couldn't figure out a partnership with NJPW. I didn't buy Double or Nothing but I watched it the next day on NJPW World.

I'm at a low point in wrestling anyways. I've stopped watching Smackdown and Raw, I still watch NXT and NXT UK. But either the product is one that I don't get anymore, or I have the attention span of a gnat I don't know.

That's because Raw and Smackdown have become ridiculously formulaic. I haven't watched either in over a year but I read the recaps and there just isn't anything there story-wise that I feel is must-see TV and I'll just watch the monthly PPVs when I see something I like.
NJPW has their Best of the Super Juniors Tournament on right now and start their G1 Tournament in July, both of which will feature a number of top-quality matches without storylines that insult their fanbase.
