Survivor Series 2011 with the return of The Rock disappoints in buyrate

Reported by Ernest I Aguilar

While there were many disappointments during the latest financial results, one of the biggest has to be the buy rate for the Survivor Series which featured the return of The Rock to the squared circle after seven years.

The show did better than the previous year however the jump was not that big, with the 2011 Survivor Series getting 281,000 buys compared to the 244,000 buys from the 2010 show.

Survivor Series was heavily hyped as John Cena tag teamed with The Rock to take on R-Truth and The Miz in the main event of the show.

Other pay-per-views in the same quarter saw Hell in a Cell doing 18,000 less buys, Vengeance with 16,000 less buys and TLC also with 16,000 less buys compared to the 2010 shows.
