I didn't hear anyone complaining when there were no more PPV's called "In Your House", "Fully Loaded" or "King-Of-The-Ring".
Secondly, they have had two Elimination Chambers at "No Way Out", and it never seemed to bother people then. Look, the name change wasn't necessary, but it is a way of marketing a PPV, since fans who like the Elimination Chamber, will definitely buy that one.
I don't like seeing the same gimmick used more than once at a PPV on the same night. But they usually have more than one 5 v 5 Elimination Match at "Survivor Series" each year, and don't use them any other time, and no-one complained. So, what's the difference between confining the Royal Rumble, Survivor Series matches and MITB to a specific PPV, but not HIAC, Elimination Chamber or TLC?
The problem with you wrestling fans is, you can't move with the times. You want everything like it was ten years ago. You bitch and moan about "The Attitude Era" and want WWE in 2009 to still be like that. New stars like Batista and John Cena are created, and you shit on them. The company tries something different, with themed PPV's, to "test if it will work" and you raz on them.
The ICW are generally bloodthirsty morons, who can't enjoy a match if someone doesn't bleed. I bet someone didn't enjoy the epic Undertaker-HBK match from WM25, because no-one bled. No, but because "Stone Cold" Steve Austin bled, then it's cool. You aren't satisfied unless someone falls off a HIAC, or crashes through a table off a ladder, not caring that people like Jeff Hardy may be in a wheelchair in later life, just as long as you get your jollies.
Look, I like blood, I like high-dives and a fall off HIAC, but these can be overdone too. You also raz on the company for going PG, when (a) it is because we unfortunately live in a politically-correct society, and Vince could lose sponsors if he doesn't toe the line, thus losing money etc, and (b) you were kids once too, and I don't hear any of you complaining about Hulk Hogan and Andre The Giant at WM3 not juicing. I didn't see blood in Steamboat and Savage's match at WM3. Does that not make it a great match? No, you sucked down your WWF ice-cream bars, and wore your Hulk Hogan pyjamas. So, why deny the kids of today the same simple pleasures. Why corrupt them, just because you worshipped a beer-swilling, finger-flipping miscreant like "Stone Cold" Steve Austin to such an extent, that he is still considered a hero even when he beats up on women (like Debra)? Just because you are cynical and negative, why expect the next generation to be the same?
I mean, most of the old fans (like you guys) will abandon wrestling soon enough anyway. Once you get married, have families, work hard and have other interests, you won't watch it anymore anyway, no matter how good it is, because you won't have the time or interest anymore. So, since you will no longer show the WWE loyalty, why should they show you any? If you guys don't like how WWE is going, stop watching, buying PPV's etc. Go totally cold turkey. If you don't buy PPV's anymore, someone else will take your place instead. It's a cycle. Since you will eventually stop watching anyway because you will "grow out of it", then why not start now? Then I don't have to hear your complaining all the time.
