— WWE star The Miz was in the United Arab Emirates last week to promote WWE’s return to the region for a three-day tour from October 10 to October 12. The tour last year was described as a “major success” pulling in an estimated $2 million over three dates. The company averaged 5,000 to 6,000 fans per show and were able to charge much higher tickets due to the strong economy there.
— For those who always ask me about pay-per-view streams, I’ll throw this out there with the WWE Night of Champions pay-per-view tonight. We are not affiliated with this website at all but I use WBSports.net. Basically you sign up for an account, make it ‘elite’ (it’s like $15 or something for the entire month – all PPVs (WWE, TNA, UFC, etc.) and you get a HQ Quality stream. It works every time for us and never skips. Again, we’re not affiliated with the site but I always get asked so here you go.
