WWE Survey - Even more gimmick PPVs?

Tommy Platinum · 08-25-2009, 04:03 PM

I made a thread a few months ago about the gimmick overkill when it comes to WWE PPVs nowadays. We now have Extreme Rules (all hardcore), Breaking Point (submission World Title matches), HIAC (a HIAC match), Cyber Sunday (or whatever its called now - fans decide) and Night of Champions (all titles defended). I made this thread to draw attention to a new WWE survey which allows us to make our voices heard regarding future PPV plans, and apparently hints that either a Tournament Style PPV, a TLC PPV or a Street Fight PPV will be brought in:

Which of these PPVs would you most like to see, if any?

Are you getting sick of the amount of gimmick PPVs?

It seems like WWE are trying to give every PPV a gimmick, and I for one do not approve.

Anyway, thoughts on this?

I think Survivor Series should ALWAYS be a tournament PPV.

No Way Out should stay with the Elimination Chamber and Extreme Rules should stay the same as well. But, to do it with every PPV it is overkill, because it doesn't add much to a rivalry if the TLC/Steel Cage/HIAC matches are so watered down.

Good God a TLC or Street Fight PPV would be terrible. I'd be all in favour of a tourny PPV though, as long as they book it right.

And yeah obviously this is overkill.

The King of the Ring type of thing would be nice to see again so yea i voted for the tourney ppv but yea come on overkill much?

Yeah I hate the idea of having a set PPV every year for certain match types. It should be reserved for feuds that merit those matches rather than being a standard annual occurrence. Also, obviously Hell in a Cell shouldn't really be done at all in the PG environment of today. TLC would be a terrible idea.

Survivor Series isn't a tournament PPV. This means a tournament such as King of the Ring, in which people wrestle multiple matches during the night.

A Tourny PPV wouldn't be awful though I guess they never do well as far as buyrates go.

HIAC and TLC is bad.

Extreme Rules if all was Extreme Rules could be good and even NWO is fine.. but this is ridiculous.

lol what ever happened to the Smackdown vs Raw elimination match at Survivor Series? I missed those matches they had really great ones but now its just matches that deal with rivalries and there is to much of them for my liking. And please no more gimmic ppvs

So, turning Survivor Series into a tournament PPV would be a worse idea then bringing back King of the Ring? IMO, I think it would work perfectly with the winner getting a shot at the Royal Rumble... and it would give them the month of December to build up to the match, instead of throwing a title match together for Armaggedon.

I would like a Tournament Team Elimination Survivor Series. Like they had in 1990

I would love a tournament style Pay Per View. Something like the King of the Ring would be awesome to see again, especially on PPV.

The WWE Universe will probably go with a TLC type PPV though, which sucks because that's the only gimmick match in the WWE that I actually always look forward too.
