TNA's pay per view and show names lame and amateurish? Fan naming ideas!!

[One to Remember]

I always kinda thought TNA has lame names for its pay per views. I thought Impact was very unimaginitive compared to "Nitro" or "Raw (is War)". So I decided to list some pay per view names I came up with like 9 or 8 years ago and a few new ones. I am going to ask which ones you like the most and also to add your own ideas or list names you don't like.

Before I list my names I'd like to say Hard Justice sounds like a strait to vhs Matlock movie. Destination X reminds me of some star gate atlantis/ star trek voyager rip off adventure show.

Genesis reminds me more of what i was playing in the early '90s then the biblical term for birth or beginning which is a fitting name for a January show.

No Surrender is my second favorite followed by Bound for Glory. I like Final Solution better then Final Resolution, how many Final Resolutions until the final Final Resolution? I think Blood Drive is far better then "Hardcore Justice" also.

Here is my list:
I. Devi station
II. Annihilation
III. Legacy or Bust (an aging stars last chance, a young guy's only window of opportunity perhaps, anything is possible on this night, rles and tradition put aside)
IIII.hardcore havoc (no dq matches primarily)
V. pain games (Kinda like the show battle dome)
VI. blood drive (alternate name for Hardcore Justice)
VII. slam jam
VIII. September to Remember (a play on ECW's december to remember, i was born on the 18th)
IX. gold rush (all titles on line)
X. the show down
XI. Too ЯAdikal (experimental concepts practiced)
XII. holy $%@* (x division type matches)
XIII. genocide
XIV. hardcore holocaust (no holds barred, death matches, etc.)
seasons beatings (Christmas time ppv)
XV. Winter War (play on the name of a historical conflict, colder months pay per view)
XVI. Game Over!
XVII. Whiplash
XVIII. Uprising
XIX. Best of the Best Fest
XX. Mega Clash
XXI. Tap Out! (submissions only, i quit ppv)
XXII. the Chopping Block
XXIII. The Final Solution (could be used to rap up this ECW storyline)
XXIV. Xtreme Xmas
XXV. This is Awesome
XXVI. Shut Up and Wrestler (the latter too are more fun pay per views, kinda like In Your House, they are best described as supercards that are televised. Wil have roman numerals)
XXVII. Massive Disturbance.


On a lighter note perhaps TNA should change Xplosion into Mplosion since its not doing to well and ReAction into ReDaction
Redaction: In the study of literature, redaction is a form of editing in which multiple source texts are combined (redacted) and subjected to minor alteration to make them into a single work.

The Final Solution was Hitler's plan. Crap idea to even suggest that.
Being honest, most of your PPV name ideas sound like either: a - a new brand of washing powder or b - descriptions of toys.

how is holy shit a better name then destination x?

Out of all the things I'd change about TNA PPV names would be right near the bottom of the list, and Impact is a fitting name as they are a company that's trying to make an impact on the wrestling world.

Although I would love TNA to do a UK based PPV and call it "The Full Monty". Mainly because my surname is montague so I like the monty bit, but it'd also imply that they're giving you everything in one night.

 

[hunterXhunter21]

I think their PPV names are fine. At least they are not being named after match types... I don't think the names sound amateurish at all. Also I don't want to sound like a dick but a lot of your name are just terrible. Your holy shit idea, how would you market that? Every time they said it would be bleeped. Changing Hard Justice to Blood Drive would make it sound like you are trying to make a hardcore PPV. When Hard Justice hasn't really been one till this last one.

Horrible thread but I just had to mention something. Two of the names are just atrocious and wrong on so many levels. The first is The Final Solution which was the plan of Hitler to exterminate all of the Jews (and all others who didn't fit into his "master plan") and then the second name is right up there in Genocide. Genocide??? Really??? Do you even know what a Genocide is? It is the wiping out of an entire race of people. Those names are just beyond disgusting and the other names are disgusting for other reasons; namely the idiocy involved when you attempted to conjure them up.

 

[pj8985]

I have to say these names sound like some lame ass backyard wrestling ppv names. The only one that even sounded like it was cool was genocide. TNA is fine with what it has as of right now.

Only thing that TNA could do is use Genesis in January since genesis is supposed to symbolize the beginning.

 

[RockNRollWag]

You sir, are a moron. Worst thread ever....So horrible, I don't even feel KIND of bad for spamming. I'd understand if you were like 12.....really> Holy Shit as a ppv name? How do you hype a ppv called "Legacy or Bust" ? This is Awesome? Wow...let's turn a chant into a ppv name.....Go read a book, stop disgracing wrestling. Thank you for your time, sir.

 

[tvcolosi]

The problems with the suggested names is you want the to be universally relevant years from now. Summerslam for example sounded good 20 years ago and sounds good now, will sound good in the future...

Even names that are from the past have that multiple event appeal.... Superbrawl, Backlash, and Great American Bash.

The names that the original author suggested, well the good ones anyway, would only work once and you would have to find a new name 12 months later.

 

[covieo81]

wow this is one of the worst threads ive seen. anyways im not a TNA fan but i think their names are just fine actually better than WWEs themed names. the names u came up with are just ******ed and sound horribly backyard amateurish. i dont think TNA needs to change any of their ppv names. maybe up the road if they become more mainstream but definitely not to any of the atrocious names u came up with. threads like this is what makes me shake my head at so many "wrestling" fans out there in the iwc.

 

[I_Am_Electro_Boy]

Okay this thread is really not one to remember now is it? The biggest problem is one of the PPV names you've came up with; The Final Solution . This is sick, I'm sure you didn't mean for this to be sick but it is. The best PPV name you've came up with is Seasons Beatings, I think it's pretty cool it would be better in WWE because it's PG and the name is sort of childish. I don't think TNA needs new PPV names though there fine as they are and it's not a big problem is it.

 

[TheHammerMan]

I've been reading these threads for forever, even before I registered and I must say I have never seen a thread seem so stupid ever. Those names sound like a 10 year old make them. You wouldn't be able to promote a holy shit ppv. And as a previous poster said, naming a ppv blood drive is begging to try and be hardcore. The mods need to close this please.

 

[Oppurtunist]

looks like he got banned for this thread?

OT: this thread is horrible

 

[Captain Jive]

Who in the hell wants to watch PPVs named Slam Jam, Game Over, or Best of the Best Fest? These have got to be the stupidest names I have ever heard. "Hey, the winner of the match at Too Radikal faces the champion at Holy Shit", that just sounds ******ed. Hard Justice sounds like a gay prison porn, but its better than anything you came up with. Leave the names as what they are, they may not be the best, but I can live with them.

If you're going to have a show called This is Awesome, you better damn make sure every second of it is the most awesome thing you've ever seen, otherwise it would be considered as one of the biggest jokes in wrestling. Even the Yeti, Shockmaster, and the KISS Demon would be sitting around laughing at it.

 

[Caitiff]

I'm actually a bit shocked that it took this long for someone to bring up how offensive the name "Hardcore Holocaust" could be. Seriously, man. What is it with you and the Nazi iconography? "Final Solution," "Genocide," and "Holocaust" are things that you really don't want to link your wrestling to.

 

[Afro-Ameri-Spawn]

So let me get this straight. You have completely run out of reasons to piss and moan about TNA, so now you have to pick on the names of the ppv's to make yourself feel less guilty about watching WWE programing? I mean wow kid, you certainly are really reaching for this one. So here, let me clue you in on something. Are you ready for it? This is going to be big. Wat for it. Wait for it. And here it comes! NO FUCKING WRESTLING COMPANY HAS A COOL SOUNDING NAME FOR THEIR PPV'S! None of them. Not a single one. I mean, do you really think that Wrestlemania or Royal Rumble not sound lame? And let's not get started with how fucking gay The Great American Bash and Starcade sounded back in WCW. But just in case you were still trying to make some ridiculous point, let's listen to how One Night Stand or Guilty as Charged sound. Pretty lame huh. And don't get me started on how gay it is that ROH puts "Honor" in just about every ppv name it has. I mean we get the concept and that your name has "honor" in it, but do you really need to shove it down our throats every chance you get?

Look, all I'm trying to say is this. No matter where you look, there is no such thing as a non-crappy wrestling ppv name. No matter where you go or what company it is or who runs the show. None of them sound cool. They pretty much just become names that we get used to. And that's pretty much it in a nutshell.

 

[WarrenIronman]

If you think the PPV name for TNA are bad, look at WWE, they have PPVs named after match types. The only bad one TNA has is Hard Justice but that's golden to the ones you just named. Some of the ones you have are just disgusting.

 

[Sean Valjean]

I once made a joke about a fictional ppv called "Future Endeavors" in which the loser of each match would be fired. Even that ridiculous name and concept is better than the crap you've presented. Since this thread is likely to be closed soon, I may as well have some fun with it.

I. Devi station

What the hell does this even mean? Devimon? Is he at the show?

II. Annihilation

Makes me think of the terrible Mortal Kombat movie; which by the way, is better than all of these names.

III. Legacy or Bust (an aging stars last chance, a young guy's only window of opportunity perhaps, anything is possible on this night, rles and tradition put aside)

This is more or less the theme of each TNA ppv. Terrible name still.

IIII.hardcore havoc (no dq matches primarily)

A semi-decent name, if they don't mind copying WWE's Extreme Rules show.

V. pain games (Kinda like the show battle dome)

Good God, no

VI. blood drive (alternate name for Hardcore Justice)

Blood Drive? What, if you make the card you get a free movie ticket or something?

VII. slam jam

The 90s called. They want their ppv back

VIII. September to Remember (a play on ECW's december to remember, i was born on the 18th)

So it's a September to Remember because you were born during this month? So is this ppv going to be a giant birthday party to you?

IX. gold rush (all titles on line)

WWE already has Night of Champions, plus TNA defends all it's belts every ppv already.

X. the show down

I'd only watch if it's of the Shaolin variety. Otherwise, no.

XI. Too ЯAdikal (experimental concepts practiced)

*See Slam Jam*

XII. holy $%@* (x division type matches)

So Destination X is a bad name for an X Division show, but Holy #$#@^&&&^* is A-okay? Yeah, our ppv's have curse words in their names! Take that WWE PG!

XIII. genocide

Way too violent.

XIV. hardcore holocaust (no holds barred, death matches, etc.)

The word "Holocaust" shouldn't be used in any ppv name. And what the hell is a Death Match?

seasons beatings (Christmas time ppv)

Way too cheesy. Like, fondue set cheesy.

XV. Winter War (play on the name of a historical conflict, colder months pay per view)

Was Snowball Fight already taken?

XVI. Game Over!

After never getting his way in WWE, Triple H went to TNA where he finally got his wish of having his own ppv. The entire lockeroom lines up and jobs to HHH one by one.

XVII. Whiplash

Ew, I'll pass.

XVIII. Uprising

This is...okay, I guess. It's the silver lining on a piss cloud.

XIX. Best of the Best Fest

TOO MANY RHYMES! TOO MANY RHYMES!

XX. Mega Clash

Sounds like a terrible death metal band

XXI. Tap Out! (submissions only, i quit ppv)

I think Tap Out! is going to sue someone

XXII. the Chopping Block

So now you're stealing MY ppv ideas?

XXIII. The Final Solution (could be used to rap up this ECW storyline)

Do I even need to explain how wrong this is?

XXIV. Xtreme Xmas

How many Christmas themed shows do you have? Where are the Hanukkah and Kwanzaa shows? Oh wait, you have a ppv called Final Solution. Nevermind.

XXV. Miz is Awesome

Fixed

XXVI. Shut Up and Wrestler (the latter too are more fun pay per views, kinda like In Your House, they are best described as supercards that are televised. Wil have roman numerals)

Shut Up and Wrestle would be a terrible name, but you decided to go the extra mile by turning into some sort of abysmal pun.

XXVII. Massive Disturbance.

Yeah, there is: this thread.

On a lighter note perhaps TNA should change Xplosion into Mplosion since its not doing to well and ReAction into ReDaction

*Facepalms*

 

[Reddannihilation]

How about we rename Bound For Glory, "Wrestling from Total Non-Stop Action, big event". This thread is fantastic as it confirms my suspicion that One To Remember is in fact a neo nazi. How about holding a PPV in Georgia and we call it "TNA; Burn The Cross" featuring AJ vs. Pope in a Klan Hood on a pole match. Perhaps have all the asian wrestlers compete in a fried-rice fist fight at Destination Sweet n Sour Pork.

In case there's someone dumb enough, psst I AM BEING SARCASTIC. But seriously, great thread, big round of applause to the OP.

 

[Zeven_Zion]

You sir, are a fucking moron. You should shove your head back in your ass and feast upon your own feces, and repeat.

The Pay-Per-View names are just fine. Use the crap you listed for your action figure federation, sonny. People just pop outta their momma's star gate and start spreading the ******ation all over the place, don't they?

 

[rko57]

Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, horrible thread, but there is a ppv name that I always wanted to have be the name, whether or not WWE or TNA or whatever, but I've always wanted the title "Collision Course" Just seems like a fitting ppv name for a big feud.

 

[ilapierre]

I haven't read a thread with responses that have made me laugh this hard yet..

I think a lot of posters had the same gripes as I did with the OP who I honestly believe didn't meant to be offensive (the post sounds like something written by a 12 year old). As easy as it is to pick this whole thread apart, I do agree that TNA (and WWE for that matter) could change the name of some of their pay per views to something a bit more memorable or enticing. A name like 'Hardcore Justice' does absolutely nothing for anyone. 'Seasons beatings', as one poster pointed out, is kind of a cool name and it highlights the ppv's time of year.

Despite the offensive and ridiculous names he listed with roman numerals (lol and crying), I think the OP asked a valid question and not a whole lot of posters here have been imaginative or brave enough to give their two cents worth and instead did what they always do by taking the easy way out by critically attacking each other. I think posters here should look past the offensiveness of the Nazi references and give this thread a chance.

I'm really trying to give my two cents worth but it's really hard to come up with something that won't get written off by most people here. I wanted to say St. Valentine's Day Massacre and then realized that was a name of a WWE pay per view years ago. There could be a steel cage themed event like WCW's Fall Brawl. There could be another survivor series formatted event with another name. There are all sorts of formats that could be used to structure an entire pay per view and a name could be born out of that. There could be a pay per view where there is a tournament of 16 wrestlers fighting each other, like King of the Ring, and the winner of the entire things gets bragging rights. They are the winner of that event, like Tiger would be at the Masters, and that makes them more money and status within the company.

I loved the Road Wild PPV in WCW and I loved the Spring Break oriented Nitros every March. There could be two ppvs in TNA centered on those themes or perhaps different ones.

 

[Unsold Bacon]

Their names are just fine and I like the name iMPACT!. On the other hand your names are just horrible.Also why would TNA have 27 ppv's a year that would make TNA and the fans go bankrupt.

Best of the Best Fest.

Really?

 

[nutt]

If you are going to be creative and not troll the PPV names, at least come up with a catchy name like Shockwave or "Insert City Here" Chaos/Showdown

 

[HoganKnowsBest]

*sees Devi Station*

*leaves*

GTFOH

 

[jameshoover78]

I'm not sure if this thread was meant to be serious, but if it is, I cringe thinking that someone like this walks the streets confidently believing that there's nothing wrong and offensive about his existance. What's next...having a tag team called the Christ Punchers? (great Simpsons reference ) Having a PPV called "Wrestling Followed by Rape"? Seriously, reading this made me a little sad

 

[Hulkamaniac]

Why is Hardcore Justice bad, but Hardcore Holocaust good?
