6 pack challenge= we cant come up with anything else

[Sora/roxas]

Ok basicly, imo the 6 pack Is just lazy booking. Instead of having Wade Barret getting a one on one match, the mystery GM made it a 6 pack challenge. And chances are Miz is cashing in afterwards. So why not cash it in on Raw and defend it at NOC? A 6 pack challenge just says "hmm instead of putting effort into this why not just put 6 of the main event talent into a match". It really wouldnt be a problem if they made it you had to qualify for it. But no, they made it randomly put in the match(well not entirely but a tiny bit you have to admit).

So your thoughts?

Also: this is a side note but the rating last nite was PG 13. Ik thats movie rating. Dish network is ******ed and using movie ratings. so was it still PG for everyone else? THIS IS NOT A PG ERA DISCUSION THREAD IM MERELY DOUBLE CHECKING.

Or alternatively they're trying to get all of their best draws on to a card which is limited to title matches. I think it's that.

As for what the 6PC says, it says that WWE want their best wrestlers on the card to a major show. Not rocket science here.

Also, title changes should happen when the people watching are paying for the pleasure, not on free TV.

Idk I was kind of excited to hear Wade Barret in a match against 5 of the best and that he'd have to hold his own (at least for most of the match). I am dying to see what he can do, in a Main Event situation with some purpose behind it (not the wasted opportunity to do something with SummerSlam that instead showed us how Super Cena was instead of how dominating Nexus can be). I know he is going to be great, and a match like this will cement it into any remaining doubters mind (if there are any). I mean the rest of the guys, meh I've seen them plenty. But this could be a real good chance to REALLY put Wade Barret over, definitively and finally. Even if he doesn't win. Some of the best performances ever (most, actually) are by the losing side of matches.

 

[CodeBreakingLegend13]

They did a six pack challenge because u cant put cena jericho edge and orton and barrett in u.s or tag team title matches so u have to put them in the wwe title match. its not that difficult to realize and it looks like it could be an exciting match since we really have no clue who will win since their is so many possibilities of who can come out on top. just stop complaining about something that isnt even an issue.

 

[Megadeth]

The fact is if they advertised Sheamus vs Wade Barrett as the main event for Night of Champions no one would buy it. Since it is Night of Champions every match is suppose to be a title match. So if they went with a main event of Sheamus vs Wade, that would leave Orton, Cena, Edge, and Jericho either off the card, or put in pointless matches for either the tag titles, or the US title. Either way, it wouldnt sell nearly as well as having some variation of those men in the main event, especially Orton and Cena, and the point of a PPV is to get people to use their money and buy the show. So 6 pack challenge is not lazy booking, it is all about getting as much money as they can, which is how business works.

 

[twentytwo]

Lazy booking? Have you been watching raw over the past several weeks leading up to summerslam?

This match continues the story lines that have been building all summer. Cena v barrett, Jericho v edge, orton v sheamus, nexus v everyone. Mondays whole show was designed to build this match with sheamus ultimately deciding to duck all of them. It's hardly lazy booking. It's a culmination of this summer's story lines surrounding all these main eveners. Maybe the problem is that you're a lazy fan.

 

[Syborgg]

I agree with Unsex. I mean let's try to think about selling a ppv that is minus john Cena, Randy Orton, Edge and Jericho. While we're at it lets make the main event a one on one match between a complete rookie(Barrett) and Sheamus(pretty much a rookie in his own right). WWE may still out-sell a TNA ppv, but this would still be assinine.

It's simple, every match is a title match, and while it's not so bad to leave the Evan Bourne's or the Matt Hardy's off the ppv card, leaving the afformentioned 4 guys off is just not good business sense.

That being said, I honestly don't think Wade Barrett is ready to be a WWE champion. Don't get me wrong, it could happen, but that doesn't mean it should. Let him have his moments, get close, but for now why rush it?

 

[The Best At What I Do]

The problem isn't lazy booking. The problem is how top-loaded Monday Night Raw is currently. 80% of the main eventers in WWE are on the red brand leaving only 20% on the blue brand. Those are actual statistics. Look it up. They can't keep the top dogs busy with Nexus forever or at all for that matter since this pay-per-view is Night of Champions and none of them are champions.

 

[hatehabsforever]

I personally do not believe it is a case of "6 pack challenge=we can't come up with anything else." It's more like a case of "6 pack challenge=an awesome way to include all of the top names onto the main event of a PPV which is touted as featuring all title matches for all of the belts, but I'm such a bitter, cynical, and overly analytical critic that I'm too dense to realize how good the match has the potential to be."

If all of the belts have to be defended from both SD! and RAW, which will either take sufficient time to pull off properly, or will have to be rushed, which will upset the rest of the never-satisfied IWC wrestling fans, how do you achieve success with this PPV unless you feature a match of this nature? How does Cena, Edge, Jericho, or Orton make their way onto this particular card on this specific PPV unless it is done in this manner? Or would people prefer that these guys be left off of the card altogether, which will also elicit the typical bitching and moaning.

As a rule, I'm not a big fan of these multi-player matches, but in this case it should be OK. The belt can be taken from Sheamus without him being pinned (which according to some IWC fans makes him look weak, imagine a guy actually losing a match on a PPV; the horror, his career is over!). Or he can keep the belt and look even stronger, defending it against the other top 5 guys on the brand. New feuds can be encouraged. The Nexus storyline can be incorporated more easily. The Miz can get involved with his MITB opportunity.

You know, some people are just never satisfied.

 

[WWEIsLife2]

You know what this Thread says to me,nothing better do than moan and complain some more. I agree while a Sheamus vs Wade Barrett would be a Good Main Event maybe for a RAW or House Show its not for a PPV. Wade has only been in the WWE for a cup of coffee and is not ready to Main Event a PPV by himself. Is he over? Yes but no where ready to be in a PPV Main Event by himself. It keeps all those Feuds going in One Match for Night Of Champions and should be entertaining. I think it would be a mistake to leave off Cena,Orton,Edge,and Y2J from it but some people on the IWC are never happy with anything.

 

[XXJJ]

Barrett and Sheamus are both heels and not as established as the other 4. I dont think the wwe wants a ppv main event of just those two. They could of continued Orton/Sheamus fued but because its Night of Champions what would they do with Cena and Barrett? Miz is in a program with Daniel Bryan. I dont think it is lazy booking. It really was there only option. I am looking forward to the match.

 

[vampireblade]

The 6pc is a good thing because it gives us a chance to watch the 6 best in the world wrestle each other for the most prestigous title in the WWE and whether or not Miz cashes in at NOC doesnt matter this 6pc will be an amazing match and draw in pay per view buys like crazy

 

[pjIXOYE]

Well, like many have said...the ending of this can't be assumed at this point because there's so many ways it can go.

My personal wish is for Miz to drop the US title to Daniel Bryan, then cash in MITB after the six pack challenge. THAT would be AWESOME.

 

[DX rules]

The 6 pack challenge was not lazy booking at all there is no way... and i mean no way anyone would buy a ppv without cena orton edge or jericho it wouldn't be worth the 50bucks we have to pay.

Now this is what I think should happen after the nexus loss at summerslam even though i don't think Barrett is ready they make him champion to build up the Nexus angle even more...But if they have Miz cash in and lose think of how much that could build Barrett up winning his First WWE title and being the first man to beat someone cashing in there money in the bank.

 

[Stephen11]

My personal opinion (I'll probably be wrong) but 1.) They wanted to showcase a bunch of talent that will bring up the PPV (Cena, Edge, Jericho, RKO). No one really cares about Barrett yet and no one ever cared about Sheamus so it would make the WWE Championship match boring if it was a 1vs1. 2.) Barrett will probably end up winning the WWE Championship and it'd be more believable in a 6PC than a singles match (kind of like how superstars got championships in fatal 4ways then they couldnt wrestle).

 

[wushady]

I don't think it's lazy or bad booking at all it's just away to get all the top guys on PPV. The first NOC PPV had a five person match for the WWE title last year had a triple threat match. I do think Barret deserves a one on one title match, but a heel vs heel match against Sheamus wouldn't be a big draw.

They may of chose this match to take the title off Sheamus without him being pinned. It may be to have him look strong by winning it. Or possibly to have Miz cash in MITB on the winner.

 

[Boondocks]

First, they have most all of the main eventers. And the matches are all title matches, so they feel the need to put their big draws in that match.

Second, it was a way for all of those who won matches, or lost by DQ, an opportunity to get by Sheamus' cowardly ways. Note, they all had good reason to be there. Wade earned his title shot on NXT, Cena lost by DQ, and Attitude Adjusted Miz anyways, And the other 3 WON matches to impress Sheamus. They put on good showings and earned their match. It was simply to payback Sheamus, which I see as at least a half-good job of booking.

 

[bigbadwolf2010]

It's funny some people have been saying tna always overbooks their show, but look at wwe:a 6 pack challenge? I mean wtf? I didn't even know what the hell a six pack challenge was until now. Anyways, I think it would be a good idea for miz to try and cash in in KOC and then have daniel bryan run in and stop him from cashing in, costing miz the tittle, while shameus and letting wade barret do a quick roll up on shameus, winning the wwe tittle. This could further prolong the daniel bryan/miz fued and finally have Barret win the tittle. Eventually it could lean

 

[Muffin Top Merkley]

It's not so much a case of lazy booking, its just WWE attempting to increase PPV buyrates.

Alot more people are going to buy Night of Champions with a main event involving Cena v Edge v Jericho V Orton V Sheamus V Barrett (Five of the companies biggest stars and one upcoming rookie) compared to Barrett V Sheamus (A rookie V a semi-big name).

 

[yur_momma]

it IS lazy booking and has been all summer (7 fcw rookies just owned the wwe veterans FOR MONTHS? lol...fcw must be the SHIT!) and these stupid theme oriented ppv's have backed the writers into a corner and their ONLY option was to make this match we have now or a whole bunch of 3ways, etc...just stupid.
the match will be a mess and hard to follow. but at least it is a way to hide how bad wade barrett is in the ring. he will need to be carried through this...
a six pack challenge is an elimination chamber match without anything that makes a chamber match cool.

 

[BuckshotBrian13]

Barrett will probably win it through Nexus interference. They're putting it in a 6-pack match so that all hell breaks loose when Nexus intefers and Barrett takes someone who is down weak, probably Shameus and get the pin and bam, Nexus get credibility and Barrett becomes WWE Champion. Btw, some people care about Barrett, look at the forums. I am one of them. Nice to see new talent be pushed.

 

[Tha Wolfpac]

So let me get this straight, you are complaining that arguably the most top stars of the WWE are going battle it out for the title, your either watching TNA or dumb or maybe that is the same thing. These specific six have been at each others throats all summer, and with this NOC being a relatively big PPV, i think you need some of the big guns, and why not put em all in one match, which makes sense. Lazy booking i dont think so, unpredictable crazy six way fun i think so.

 

[d_henderson1810]

Maybe they could have had a Championship Scramble Match instead. The WWE haven't done one of these for a while, and it would be fun to see again. As to whom I would drop from the match if it were CS (as it is a 5-man match, as opposed to six), I would drop Wade Barrett. I just feel that Barrett's first title shot should be one-on-one, against someone like Cena or Orton, and then it can be a bigger deal. But I say have the other five battle in a Championship Scramble match at "Night Of Champions".

 

[mrbrownstone]

No this is not lazy booking this is getting all of your top stars onto a PPV where it is title matches only, think about it if WWE went with, say, Sheamus/Orton that means Edge,Jericho,Cena and Barrett are left of the card as none of them will have title matches (all are two important for US/Tag title matches). This is really the opposite of lazy booking, it is incredibly smart booking it is a way to get all of your major draws onto a card with exclusively title matches. Also it isnt really true that there was no reason or qualification for everyone to be in the match, Wade had his title shot from NXT and the others won their matches bar Cena but it was a DQ and in the end he came out the better of the two.

 

[FozzyRocks2009]

You are correct sir, creative got lazy and just threw something together. But it is because they planned on HHH taking the strap of Sheamus at Summerslam. The whole "you took me out, now I'm taking your belt" so now they gotta keep it on him longer, which is why he retained at SS the way he did. So I don't know if that stays on topic (sorry if it didn't) but yes creative is lazy. However we have to give them credit! For if this were TNA this monday the Mystery GM would of booked a 6 pack challenge (like he did) and next week Mystery GM would be like Sheamus at NOC your going to face Wade Barrett in a 1 on 1 match and Nexus is banned from Ringside, thinking we forgot about what was hapening last week (see TNA can't keep storylines straight for more than 2 weeks i.e. Samoa Joe) DIXIE ARE YOU LISTENING!!! LOL
