Paul Walter Hauser is weighing in on the current state of wrestling live shows. The Golden Globe Award-winning actor turned wrestler called out WWE’s business practices, calling them “greedy and ugly” for raising ticket prices, and, additionally, the high cost of PLEs given the small cards.
“The cons in WWE that I see other companies doing better would be giving more bang for your buck. This five-match, $40 pay-per-view thing is garbage,” he told TMZ’s Inside the Ring. “Add two or three more matches. Also, you have guys and gals who would die to be on the card who aren’t. You have the money, duh, go do it. Make a better show, that’s not that hard. I’m not telling you to burn down your brick and mortar, I’m telling you to add menu items. It’s not going to kill you, figure it out.”
