Glad that WWE changed all the PPV names

[The Hillside]

It made sense to see all the PPV names changed, they all had a similar vibe attached to them and had more 'hellish like' sound. Here you go:

Judgment Day
Unforgiven
No Mercy
Vengance
Armageddon
Resurrection

More childish like sounds trying to influence and scare the children.

 

[taylor360unc]

I agree with you on that but the name changes to stuff like Hell in a Cell aren't good because usually only 2 or 3 matches are in the Cell.

 

[Mongoose McQueen]

Nick paglino sucks, as do you. My opinion is all that matters.

 

[Mongoose McQueen]

Fuck

 

[wooooo]

Now they just name them after whatever gimmick match the ppv is based on, real creative.

 

[Last Man Standing]

Yeah in a way you're right. But like others have said, the names now are just awful. Fatal Four Way! Really? But I think names like Over The Limit work perfectly.

Fuck

While I see your point, I do however wholeheartedly disagree.

 

[ProWrestlingFan]

You are probably a PG Era dumbass fan.

 

[James]

What? How old are you?

Those names actually had a meaning and made since.


After WM I would've put Vengeance because the opponents are now looking for it.

At the end of the year Armageddon because well it is obviously.


I'm not even gonna waste my time with this.

 

[The Hillside]

No, I have been following WWE since the Attitude Era. Back then, those names looked ok but now as I am adult I will picture those names as truly childish and immature.

But names like Fatal Four Way and Hell in a Cell also look strange on the poster.

But Over The Limit, Night of the Champions and Capitol Punishment sound decent.

Pro-Wrestling as a whole must be childish and immature for you.

Yeah it is. I just watch it because it was my favorite thing when I was a kid/teen.

It also keeps me motivated for gym.

 

[Danger Burger]

How is this in the non-spam section.

I think the name changes were a bad idea. I was a kid during the attitude era and i never had an issue with the names, nor did my parents (though i did have to video tape them as they were on pretty late over here). They arent childish by any definition of the word.

Big fun wrestle time, thats childish. Mega man crushfest, thats childish.

The vague (by comparison) names also made the product less predictable, instead of knowing when you were going to see a specific match, which in turn boosted the importance of the match.

Youve a pretty strange excuse for watching wrestling despite being a member of a dirt sheet forum. I dont believe you, but i dont need to. And no other sport satiates your need for muscular men and to get your testosterone pumping??

 

[The Hillside]

The difference between muscular men in WWE and other sports is that in WWE the muscular men have some sort of 'gimmick' (personalities), they talk a lot and are always in action.

 

[TheImpactPlayer]

I don't like the idea of matches being made on the schedule of the PPV. If a feud is progressing and a fatal four-way match or a hell in a cell match should be used in the program they won't do it because it's not the right month. We know that the GM is never gonna throw a Hell in a Cell match out of no where to settle a feud because that PPV isn't coming up(Taker VS Trip excluded). Hell in a Cell should be used when two guys need it to settle their issues. Not forced upon them once a year right on time. The match has lost some of it's magic because of that.

So the gimick and talking motivate you to go to the gym??

Why not watch Arnie schwarzenegger movies then? Some are atleast 15s rated, so they wouldnt be as childish. Theres lots of muscles and talking and catchphrases if thats what your into. He's a robot in one of them. He gives birth in another too. What better inspiration than hearing arnie tell you to PUSH.

I'm getting the hell out of here before i wind up in prison talking to people like you all day. Have a nice life and good luck finding that special guy... For motivation i mean. A gym buddy. Yeah.

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

What the fuck is this shit?

 

[avriltt234]

Some of the name changes are good like Over the Limit but the rest of them like Hell In a Cell, Tables, Ladders and Chairs and Elimination Chamber spoil it because you know that there is going to be a match of that kind. Back in the day you used to get excited when for example a Hell In a Cell match was booked for Summerslam, but now you know that PPVS like Hell In a Cell are going to feature a Watered Down Hell In a Cell Match.

I don't mind some of the themed PPVs, since two of the "Big Four" were original concepts as a theme (Royal Rumble and Survivor Series of course). However, with some I think are just downright dumb (HIAC, TLC, F4W). Looking at the way WWE books, which is quite stupid, they will do whatever they think will sell. Extreme Rules is the ONLY properly booked PPV theme, with every match having a stipulation. Night of Champions was the same way, until they started adding in NON-TITLE MATCHES. What do all of the crappy themed PPV's (except Fatal 4 Way) have in common? Not a real feud blowoff.

Hell in a Cell - World Title Matches in a Cell with no feud blowoff
TLC - See above
Fatal 4 Way - Concept was cool, stale when majority of matches are 4-way
Capitol Punishment - Great concept, just a standard PPV in the Nation's capitol
Breaking Point - All themed matches were good, standard feud ending/continuation but failed in buyrates

-Money In the Bank should be altered; have six qualifying matches (two tag team matches, three singles, and a 3/4 way) on the PPV and they meet in the main-event for the briefcase.

-Elimination Chamber I'm fine with. Perfect setup for post-Rumble and pre-Mania
-Night of Champions needs to be all matches for titles or a #1 contender match
-Over the Limit is just a standard PPV name, no worries there

Themed PPVs need something that sells; all titles on the line? check. All matches with stipulations? Check. Spin the wheel, make the deal for the stipulation? RAW Roulette of course. WCW nailed it. WWE fails at it. WCW had BattleBowl and Wrestling World Cup, while WWE does PPV's with gimmick match names.
