That just made me question something: who was last year's MITB winner? I completely forgot who it was... But man, that sucks. So they even took away Night of Champions, which was basically the original modern gimmick PPV that started this trend? |

My fault. They just changed the date and put it after SummerSlam. That's pretty drastic though. Did they mention what the rules for Wild Card would be? |

Oh, that's right. I remember when he won it the first time, but I forgot about the second time because I couldn't think of where he cashed it in. |

Really? We are gunna run with the name a PPV after a match type...This is uncreative. I have given up hope on WWE I personally think if they wanna throw names around and have names reflect the PPV we go back to old school. We could have In Your House: Fatal Four Way or In Your House: Wild Cards because we know this names will not stick next year they will change. They need the names they are using to be more of a tag line and the name. Looking at that list I cant say i am excited or thrilled with the direction WWE is taking there PPVs. I liked when matches like hell in a cell or fatal four way showed the evolution of a storyline now its just like look we have this PPV called fatal four way so that's the match we are getting... or hey its the hell in the cell PPV so are main event is in that cage. |

I like this gimmick in some respects, but I also hate it with this PG crap. I've (and still to this day) voice my displeasure about how me and a friend spent 200 bucks on tickets to the Hell in a Cell PPV to see three HIAC matches with NO blood and really no use of the cell whatsoever besides some throws into the cell and Triple H being locked out during the main event. So I understand what they're doing, and I think it does make some months PPV-wise stronger, but they could always change the gimmick and keep the name, and I don't know, make sure they're gimmicks that work. I know personally I could care less about fatal four way matches, but I guess that's personal taste. They could have always kept the PPV name though (which I guess would have been The Bash), because I don't think it's the name itself actually makes people go "oh, you know what, this name is great! I think I'll buy the PPV just because it's named after the match type in the main event!" If that was the case, then you could have named Unforgiven the last few years "The Scramble" and the WrestleMania events "Cena, Triple H and Friends: featuring Shawn Michaels in the Best Match of the Night Although it Will Take Place Before the Divas Match". |

The moment they change the Summerslam name, the moment I'm completely done with WWE. |

Early reports are saying that the "Wild Card" pay-per-view could be the return of Battlebowl from WCW.

This is the only valid point against this new thing that I've heard so far. Otherwise it sounds like a bunch of whiney cunts whining for the sack of being a whiner.
Let's hope this happens soon! Hopefully you'll leave 6SW as well! ^_^ Edited by Nebuchanezzar, Feb 20 2010, 07:37 AM.

I wonder if people reacted similarly when WWE announced the Survivor Series or Royal Rumble as a pay per view concept. If you think about it, both of those PPVs are gimmick PPVs and both are named after the main gimmick of the PPV. And for many, many years, these were two of the most anticipated PPVs of the year, and the Rumble still is. I do agree with the comments about gimmick matches being worked into feuds to advance the story telling of those feuds. HIAC used to be a fantastically brutal match that ended feuds. So to see it used as a PPV gimmick is a bit disheartening, but as long as WWE doesn't over use the gimmick throughout the year, then they can still make it work. As far as the gimmicks used for the PPVs, they are hit and miss to me. Concepts like HIAC, EC, MITB, are all good to me because the gimmick matches are strong. But PPVs like Bragging Rights or Breaking Point were both lost on me since neither of those gimmicks drew me in (nor did the card). So, basically, I see what WWE is doing, I see why they are doing it, and I think they do it well some months, but the months they aren't doing it well they really don't do it well. |

I'm not really complaining about most gimmicks, but as Cybrus said, they are very hit or miss. A fatal four way match isn't going to lure me in to buying a PPV, just like a submission show will not. The thing that mainly bothers me is the naming, because it just seems so obvious. I mean I think most of these were up to the WWE audience to choose (via survey) so blame them, but I mean it's not hard to come up with WWE: Fatal Four Way or WWE: TLC (although that sounds pretty good). Why couldn't they just keep the names of the PPVs as they were and just changed the gimmick? That's what they did with No Way Out and their main event before they changed it into Elimination Chamber and nobody had an issue with going "what is the main event?" They have the names Breaking Point and Bragging Rights, which shows a bit of creativity. It's not like they named the former WWE: Submission or something. That's my main beef with it, and I know it sounds a little messy because I'm complaining about names, but it does bother me. Edited by WWEWhoseLine48, Feb 20 2010, 07:01 PM.

Whereas something called Backlash totally makes you wanna buy it? o_O The Royal Rumble is one of the highest selling PPV's of the year. Want to take a stab at why that is? If the WWE can make it so that each PPV has a good sort of gimmick to it then I see no problem as the hit and miss complaint will become moot.
That's not a reason. |

I guess that answers my question. Kind of sucks though, the MITB was one of the best matches at WM. |

On WWE.com right now, their PPV schedule looks like: You think it means anything or is it just a glitch? |

I like the name Over The Limit other than Wild Card. Just going to sound real silly when the commentators say it. "Who's going to get pushed over the limit" Also good to see NOC and Survivor Series is back. I liked those 2 PPVs. |

You know, that's what I thought when I first read the name. I was like: "Wait, didn't they stop using that name when Owen Hart di...oh, wait, that was Over the Edge".

Over The Edge was a cool name. Kinda like Bad Blood was. I was never so crash hot on the likes of Backlash or Insurexxion and shit like that. Stick with the good ones and add some cool new ones. |

Yeah, Over the Edge and Bad Blood were both good PPV names. I wish WWE still used Bad Blood as a name, but I can understand why they quit using Over the Edge. Of course, if the exact same accident were to have happened at WM, then I am almost completely confident WWE wouldn't have stopped using that name.
