WWE makes major changes to 2 of it's PPVs

[Raw Power]

I agree with what Becca said, HiaC needs a decent, heated feud to work - e.g. Undertaker/HBK, HHH/HBK, Undertaker/Edge - not every feud gets to these levels and inevitably we're gonna see crap like Jeff Hardy vs CM Punk in a match like this. Also, the names are really unimaginative, I wonder who came up with them, probably the same person who named "Extreme Rules". What I'd like to see them do is bring back some WCW PPV names, they have some good ones - they should definetly use Starrcade (which is in my opinion a cooler name than Wrestlemania) for a winter PPV and maybe even Halloween Havoc as well. Also bring back King of the Ring. If I was booking the PPV schedule I'd probably set it up like

January - Royal Rumble

February - No Way Out

March/April - Wrestlemania

April - Backlash

June - King of the Ring

August - Summerslam

September - Night of Champions

October - Halloween Havoc (which will be the "ECW" style extreme PPV)

November - Survivor Series - with more focus on the traditional Survivor Series style matches

December - Starrcade - no particular theme, maybe hype and emphasis based on NWA/WCW "tradition" - no "gimmick" matches apart from stuff like submission, ironman etc. - basically opposite of Extreme Rules?

So did anybody notice on the wwe.com website now that Annahilation is now changed back to Cyber Sunday? Can somebody not make up their mind on what they want to do with this PPV? I think getting rid of Cyber Sunday would be a terrible idea solely based on the fact that they wanted a PPV where the fans could get involved, they got it, and now they want to get rid of it like 3 years later just to "keep things fresh?" I appriciate the keeping of all things fresh, but IMO that's one PPV you have to keep even though a match or two that the fans vote on is just... clownshoes.

Submission PPV is a bad idea but Hell in a cell PPV is by far the worst idea for a PPV I`ve heard in recently years. If they have more than 1 HIAC in a PPV, it will diminish the credibility (so to speak) of one of the most destructive structure ever. Even if only the main even is a HIAC, I think it shouldn`t be some tradition.

Hell all those changes are BAD. Getting rid of the most innovative PPV recently, Cyber Sunday is a terrible idea. A PPV on submissions will be beyond boring and MMA rip off.
