If Caged Hostility from Charlotte was turned into an IPPV

Gabe also has poor buyrates.

How do you know that? What are his numbers? Just curious

Wrestling Observer Newsletter. I can't remember the exact issue and it'd be a pain to track down. The biggest they've done is 2,000 or so with the $1.99 show.

I think it's a pretty fair assumption that Gabe's buyrates are really low. But it's hard to say if that's specifically because he runs too many iPPVs or simply because general overall awareness/interest in DGUSA and Evolve is very low. I tend to think it's more the latter.

I'd guess it has to be the latter also.

In terms of attendance, I've just finished watching the Florida Evolve shows; the crowd was IWA-MS bad particularly on the second night where there must have been more Evolve employees in the building than fans. Considering that Gabe uses big names like Ki, Finlay, Cabana and El Generico rather than Ian who did stuff like pay workers in prescription pain killers or didn't pay them at all, I can't see how Gabe's companies are viable unless their merch/DVD/iPPV sales are good.

I know there are a few here that only watch and buy Indie Wrestling like myself, I think it could be a money maker.

Correction, you only buy Indie Wrestling in the limited scope of live iPPV.

The localized promo that ran during yesterday's ROH on SBG mentioned Mondo vs. Ciampa as another match for Caged Hostility. I have not seen this match listed on the website. Unless it's already been changed, maybe they will announce it this week.

ROH needs to do fewer I PPV they are falling into the same trap TNA and WWE are in all the PPV feel the same no good build and ROH has it a lot worse given how delayed there shows are sometimes they don't even get a TV show to hype the PPV
