Still laughin' that people thought WWE would bring back KOTR as a PPV. This is a just a filler show anyways. I won't harp too much on this until I see the card because even though it's Payback The Rock won't be around for it so if it's just repeated WM matches that have already had rematches at Extreme Rules one thing is for sure the WWE Title scene should still be fresh. Plus, I also doubt Swagger/Del Rio lasts this long.

I can just picture all the promos ending with "....And Payback's a bitch!"
Interesting name, I personally would of thought that this PPV would of been moved to the end of April/May slot if they're going with the whole Payback/Rematch theme, trouble is only one announced match on the card can really be done at a B-PPV and that's Jack Swagger/Alberto Del Rio. So, it'll be interesting at least to see what rematches will be on the card if any, it might be paybacks for actions (ie random beat downs etc.)
Won't last more than a single PPV though.

How about WWE presents REFUND, where they give me back the money I wasted on Royal Rumble?
Frankly I enjoyed King of the Ring and it was responsible for propelling quite a few of the industry's greats including Steve Austin, Triple H, Owen Hart, ect. If went a little off-track during the Attitude era, but if the WWE cared enough about it, they definitely could have saved it. Even the "King Booker" angle was excellent. An annual tournament, regardless of it's physical reward, always has potential to add credibility to any wrestler.
The plain honest truth is, Money in the Bank replaced it. Wrestling fans today just don't have the patience to endure a month-long arduous tournament like King of the Ring, they want to see weapons, chairs, ladders, tables, and all sorts of other bullshit and get it out of the way quickly. MITB serves the purpose more quickly and more violently, involves just as many people, and gets the whole ordeal out of the way easier. In the modern WWE, you just can't have MITB and KOTR in the same world, and to most fans it seems cooler to have a guy carrying around a briefcase for a few months before he becomes champion as opposed to a guy wearing a crown and carrying a scepter instead. MORE AMERICAN! Ohhhh saaaaay caaaaan you seeeeee... by the daaaaaawn's eeeeeearly liiiiiiight...

Don't think people believed they would bring it back just that many thought it would make sense, it was a good concerpt which would have livened up dull ppv period for WWE. The questions remains if they weren't going to do anything drastic, then why not just keep it as whatever it was last year?
Couldn't agree more. Worthless move & to say they know
'what they're doing' is a false statement cause they don't!
TNA Takes "Reigns" as The Best Wrestling In The WORLD!!!
Maybe Payback means that all the jobbers will get paid back for jobbing and actually have a chance to win matches it's an all jobber ppv
At this point I get the impression you might have a vested interest in that company...
Honestly, I like this idea more than any other proposed one.
