In this page, I take and list basic statistics and information from pay-per-views (such as attendance, gate, average star ratings for matches and popularity polls gathered from Dave Meltzer's Wrestling Observer Newsletter). These tidbits provide for interesting comparisons between events, especially those of one federation in comparison to another. These statistics are as accurate as possible, but anyone who notices a mistake should email me at [email protected] with the correct info (and I will credit you with the corrections). Average star ratings for matches of each show include those matches that receive a rating. The few matches that didn't get a rating do not factor into the final average. Popularity percentages are figured like this: a thumbs up counts as a win (1 point), thumbs down as a loss (0 points), and thumbs in the middle as a draw (1/2 point). The final percentage is the amount of points compared to the amount of votes.

NEW!! PPV statistics page: comparing the data This page compares data for each federation not only on a yearly basis, but you can also see how one group's stats measure up from one year to the next. Check it out!
