Paul Walter Hauser Weighs In On WWE Price Increases, ‘There’s No Real Humanity From A Corporate Perspective’
Paul Walter Hauser comments on recent price increases in WWE.
In recent years, WWE and TKO have come under fire for the price increases across the board. Specifically, fans have often criticized the increasing cost of event tickets, merchandise, and ways to watch premium live events.
Speaking with TMZ’s Inside The Ring podcast for a new interview, Paul Walter Hauser gave his take on the criticism, slamming the company for their five-match premium live event model.
“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. 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.”
Hauser went on to critique the company’s ticket prices as well.
“Times are tougher than they used to be but the prices are going up. There’s no real humanity from a corporate perspective whereas you can go to an AEW show or a MLW show for 15 to 40 bucks and have a decent seat. To me, that’s like Mr. Potter in It’s A Wonderful Life. You’re getting greedy and ugly, you’re being ugly by doing that. I understand, ‘Well, we have stockholders and shareholders.’ Yeah, be a real person, you dick. Be a real person. Do something.”
