Since we are really stretching the name "Screen Scene" beyond just covering movies on this blog, I thought I would take the advantage and promote something I do two times per month online on Sunday night's.
Tonight, April 27, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) will broadcast its "Backlash" Pay Per View live from Baltimore, Maryland featuring top matches involving the WWE Title (Randy Orton vs. Triple H vs. John Cena vs. JBL), World Heavyweight Title (The Undertaker vs. Edge) and more.
For those who are unable to purchase the event (or simply choose not to), the website I work for (WrestleView.com) will be providing *live* play-by-play updates of the event as it is happening. A new update is provided every 20 minutes or so for fans to follow online as the event progresses from 8:00 p.m. Eastern to 11:00 p.m. Eastern.
I've been doing this since 2002 and have grown quite a following for my Pay Per View recaps for WWE and TNA (Total Nonstop Action Wrestling - a growing competitor for the WWE). Roughly half a million visitors will flock to my website tonight to get the latest updates on the event and a full recap later in the night.
While it may not make the companies promoting these events very happy that some one could save $39.95 and instead follow results on the internet, it really is no different then an online correspondent covering a major sporting event such as boxing and providing updates to those unable to purchase or view the event. In reality, it is promoting the product to an even larger audience that would ever purchase it on Pay Per View. As the saying goes, there is no such thing as bad publicity and tonight is just another example.
