Bring back old school Survivor Series!

[KillBill]

PPV buys are down, having a ppv every 3 weeks is too much. However, I believe theres a way Vince could capitalize on making big PPV buys for SS. And thats to have it Thanksgiving night, just like the good old days. After eating, theres football, but the teams involved are not that great. So at night, there may not be much on, and I loved having dinner, then going and watching the PPV.Not only could you re-interest older fans in the family that haven't watched in a while, with the PG rating, you could get the whole family to watch.

And bring back all elimination matches. We don't need a title match. Change it up a bit. If the need to fill time, bring back the "final" elimination match like they did once in 1990, where you have all face and heel surivors come back for another elimination match. It may be a handicap match like it was in '90, when Hogan, Warrior, and Santana took on the Visionaries and Ted Dibiase. At least it would be different.

Anyone agree?

I completely disagree with that idea for one simple reason....WWE is a product that needs to cater to people who are not American as well......only the US has Thanksgiving on that day and it seems you have a very narrow point of view in terms of creating pay per view money because this idea would actually cause less buys rather than gain more like you claim it would.

A PPV on a wednesday or thursday will get less buys because people in 200 other countries are usually working on those days and don;t have the time to be buying pay per views when they hardly have time to relax as it is.

Good effort though....oh and the buy rate of Survivor Series more than doubled when they moved it to a Sunday as well.....so just another tidbit for you

Weel, I really won't like to have it at Thanksgiving but cannot argue with you since it is only because I like PPVs on Sundays.

But what I lik is the concept of the old Survivor Series PPV with the soul survivors at the end of the night competing against each other.

Want to give Raw a rematch for thr BR PPV? it would be nice to see two elimination matches for each brand and a final match between Raw and Smackdown with the souls survivors of the night, it even can work in a lot of ways, maybe 3 SD survivors vs 2 Raw survivors? Since it is only the soul survivors that could be quite good. Maybe even thrown ECW out there. The matches could be really great.

Sunday is better for ppvs
ECW wasn't in the last two ppvs. So, two from RAW, two from Smackdown and two from ECW. Maybe, put the Unified Tag titles on the line in the mix. I bet this would actually be good. A Triple Threat Survivor Series style Tag matchup for the Unified Tag Team titles.

I really like the idea of a literal SURVIVOR.

I think the way they used to do it was awesome where they had the winners of the good and bad go on to face off in the finale. This wouldnt be done now considering there arent enough big names to do this with.

However i wanted to point out a new old school way of doing Survivor Series. Have all three brands face each other. sure we have bragging right but they dont even acknowledge ECW as a brand even though on TV they do. I just think a great way to build up guys would be to have a time every year when ECW "attacks" the other brands and vice verca.
