Pay-per-view

Pay-per-view is a very important revenue stream for professional wrestling companies like WWE, which shows sixteen pay-per-view events a year, and TNA, which initially offered weekly pay-per-view in lieu of a national cable television show but now offers monthly pay-per-views like WWE. To this day, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) holds the rank for most PPV's sold per year.

In Canada, Viewers Choice offers pay-per-preview services through various Canadian satellite TV and digital cable television providers, including Rogers Digital Cable, StarChoice, and MTS. Prices range from $4.99 CAD for movies, up to $20 CAD or more for special events. (Ex. WWE and ECW Pay-Per-Views, which usually cost $39.95 for normal 3-hour PPV's, and $49.95 for the 4-hour WrestleMania special.)
