Buyrates for Extreme Rules, Payback, and Money in the Bank

WWE released the buyrate numbers for the Extreme Rules, Payback and Money in the Bank PPVs.
* WWE Extreme Rules (5/4/14, headlined by WWE World Champion Daniel Bryan vs. Kane) -108,000 buys (down from 231,000 buys in 2013)
* WWE Payback (6/1/14, headlined by the Shield vs. Evolution in an Elimination Match) - 67,000 buys (down from 186,000 buys in 2013)
* WWE Money in the Bank (6/29/14, headlined by the Money in the Bank Ladder Match for the vacant WWE World Title) - 122,000 buys
Also, prior event buys of PPVs before July 2014 did 72,000 buys, up from 95,000 buys in the second quarter of 2013. 
Opinionated View- Well things to keep in mind. Anyone that has the network isn't going to buy a PPV. Several carries dropped WWE PPV's after the network launched. That said these numbers are still terrible. It doesn't shock me though WWE did awful jobs building up to all three PPV's.
