WWE PPV Possibilities

Bloody hell, there are some incredibly poor ideas here. The War Games one is the only decent idea, maybe the MITB event, but even that is a tad far fetched. Street fight? Is that not already Extreme Rules? Roulette? Yawn.

The only other one that i think could work would be The Draft PPV i could see people actually watching that one, otherwise War Games all the way, great concept and has had proven classic matches in the past, but the rest are pretty awful though

the tag team one can't happen!! my god, the amount of times "how WILL they co-exist" dribbles out of Michael Cole's mouth will be too much to take.

Thanks for that. When I followed the link for it it was close and couldn;t see the options.

WWE Draft That's the best of the ideas depending on the execution. Such as if superstars are fighting to keep their place on their show. If it's just the regular draft specials then keep them on Raw.

Legends NO. Could just mean guest referees and the like but unless there's a time machine no, no thank you.

Street Fight As you say that's just Extreeeeeeme Rules (w/ street clothes) but I'm fine with that PPV.

Money in the Bank I'd rather keep it at WM. I think the quality of the match with qualifying matches before hand would suffer. I'd rather see:

King of the Ring Tournament KotR was my favourite of the Big Five PPVs so I'd be happy to have some form of it back. As long as the winner has to have three matches...

Roulette Could work. Raw Roulette should be back anyway but depends on the execution like the draft.

War Games Wasn't watching WCW when they were on and haven't seen enough to have a proper opinion. Don't see the appeal with the two rings concept.

Battle Bowl As above. Someone will have to explain the concept to me though. Why two rings? And there's one winner, right? Like the random teams though. If the tag titles were given some prestige back I'd rather had a random partner tag tournament for the unified titles.

If They're overhauling Survivor Series, I think They should keep the name but vary the meaning. The Championship Scramble is the main event and there's a mini-tournament on the undercard, for example.

Would I'd like to see apart from the KotR back annual is the return of the Unforgiven 99 version of the Six-Pack Challenge. Two in the ring, four at the turnbuckles and tags HAVE to be made.

Had an idea a while back (which probably isn't original) of a tag team match where two teams of rivals have to win as a team then fight each other one on one straight after for a championship/number one contender spot.

For example Sheamus/Cena Vs Orton/Kofi tag. Sheamus and Cena win, then fight each other. Obviously there needs to be an incentive for the two to go one on one but I like the idea the rivals have to be careful with each other. Sheamus may want Cena to be beaten up to make the one on one easier for him but needs to make sure Cena isn't too weak to get pinned by Orton or Kofi.

War Games just doesn't strike me as something that can work that well. I mean, it's essentially a Hell in the Cell match with two rings, and that just makes it harder to follow a lot of the action. (WG may have come first, but we haven't seen one of them since WCW folded)

Battle Bowl won't work until Tag Titles are given decent prestige again.

Street Fight, we already have One Night Stand, though with the dissolving of ECW as a seperate Brand, maybe they will rename it?

MITB is just a Wrestlemania thing imo

Draft just isn't appealing as a PPV

Legends is just.. no.

I wouldn't mind KotR, as long as it was done properly. I mean, Hornswoggle in a match for it is just ridiculous.

What if KOTR and MITB were combinded into a tournament? The king got to cash in his briefcase whenever he wanted within the year. It'd be a good way to push someone. Kinda like TNA's tourney last night, but ... yknow....

There's not many options for WWE ppv's really, that'd interest me the most out of those possibilities. Except maybe the legends ppv for all the wrong reasons

When Brock Lesnar won in 2002, he won a title shot at Summerslam. Something like that would work weel. Winner of the tournament becomes Number 1 contender for either the WWE or WHC title, whichever they choose. Could also be a way for someone to switch brands as part of their push

I still think they should have some sort of unification PPV. They've got too many belts and not enough top talent to support them. My idea would be to unify them all at one big super PPV or progressively over a series of PPV's.

They've already unified the tag belts.

So have the Intercontinental and United States champs go head to head with the winner being the undisputed Intercontinental Champ.

Same for the WWE and World Heavyweight belts.

I liked it better when they had tag champs, Intercontinental Champ and WWE/F Champion. If you were tag champs, you were usually a half decent team that lasted a while. If you were Intercontinental champ, that was you being groomed for the WWE championship most likely.

Nowadays anyone can become Intercontinental champ. Look at Carlito. He's lucky if he gets a dark match these days.

I'm also getting pretty sick of this whole Legacy v Cena v HHH v Orton merrygoround.

I'd love if Kane got the title at Elimination Chamber, but I'm about as likely to believe he will get it as WWE will stop being child oriented between now and Raw tonight.

I actually think Kane could win it. It'd allow Drew to be in MITB, and still have someone defeat Kane for the IC title at WM, which would be a good push for someone else. All depends if they're going to push McIntyre for a surprise MITB win

Angron

Personally, I can't see it. I mean, Kane is my fav in WWE, but he got horribly underused. And the way he was used just to boost new guys for a long time, I just found it a real shame.

I suppose there is a fair chance of Drew getting a push for MiTB, but like you said, it all depends. Anyway, this is getting off topic.


I suppose a unification PPV might not be the worst, but it might kinda make the seperate shows a bit redundant, if everyone can, and will, appear on every show. At least with the current format, it gives a slight chance for smaller names to get some airtime, rather than having everyone big appearing on each show week in week out. Though, in retrospect, this has been bleeding in since the introduction of the tri-branded PPVs.

Nah whether we like it or not they obviously have huge plans for Drew, and when he suffers his first loss it’s likely to be to someone higher on the food chain. It’s also quite likely he goes to Mania wins MITB but does not defend his IC title.
