Re: WWE Confirm PPV name Changes

A WWE executive (Peter Clifford) has confirmed why they changed the names: PWTorch - WWE News and Pro Wrestling Coverage Since 1987

Basically he says the names were flat in terms of what they wanted them to project and wanted the names to better reflect ongoing storylines.

He also says that they are considering dropping some of the off-brand PPVs to help maximized PPV revenue. I am guessing this is because they realize it's hard to get people to pay $40 plus tax for a PPV every 3 weeks.

Re: WWE Confirm PPV name Changes

That last part is great news. If they can manage to get it down to 10-12 ppvs a year I'll be happy.

Re: WWE Confirm PPV name Changes

I find this pretty funny. A Hell in a Cell based PPV would be interesting to watch. WWE Annihilation is just too... I don't even know how I could explain that.

Re: WWE Confirm PPV name Changes

I was wondering when they were going to do a WWE Annihilation PPV. Oddly, back in December of 2002, I wrote a fanfic called that. Here is the link

Re: WWE Confirm PPV name Changes

Not sure if this should go here or get its own thread. It had been rumored, but not the Bell Centre's website has confirmed that every match at Breaking Point will be under submission rules: GEG / WWE Breaking Point - September 13, 2009

Re: WWE Confirm PPV name Changes

That means the Cena match will end how it usually does with an STFU. HBK & Triple H will use the Cripple Crossface in a desperate attempt to get more heat for their matches. Bear hug finish for Big Show & Henry and Orton will be the first person to successfully apply a chin lock for a tap out.

Re: WWE Confirm PPV name Changes

WWE.com has just changed "Annihilation" BACK to "Cyber Sunday". That makes me happy, I didn't like the Annihilation name. It also gives me hope that they will keep the voting theme (although all voting should be on wwe.com, not texting).

Re: WWE Confirm PPV name Changes

If it's WWE.com voting I'll happily spend the day trying to fuck with who they want or what stipulation they'd prefer. I spent 8 hours getting The Miz his ECW title shot in 2007.

Re: WWE Confirm PPV name Changes

That's a bit sad really Jake. All credit to you, but I doubt multi-voting from one person would make a single shred of difference considering the size of the "WWE Universe"...
