Our pay-per-views were successful enough that we did three the first year, 1997, four in 1998, six in 1999, and they ordered seven in 2000.
That's $250,000 just for the satellite truck and the satellite feed.
So the production on a pay-per-view show back then was at least $250,000 and all in close to a half a million dollars.

Holds on to it till the show is over.
I had a meeting with Vince.
I looked at him straight in the face and I said, I can't put on this show.

Yeah.
went to Vince, explained it to him.
