Tournament Event: Single elimination "bracket style" tournament where Superstars would compete in multiple matches during the night to become the tournament winner.
So Basically, KOTR. KOTR is a great concept in that it made a new star. Brock Lesnar was a good example of that. The ones they've done on TV were a joke. KOTR is a proven PPV Concept. It would work.
Street Fight Event: Main events would include"street fight" matches where there are no disqualifications and pin-falls count anywhere. Superstars often compete in normal street clothes.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that what One Night Stand now Extreme Rules Basically is? We need two of these basically a year? No thanks.
Legends Event: Match participants would include WWE Legends from the past.
WCW had a PPV called Slamboree and usually featured a match where they would bring in two legends who had a fued history to have a match. It was crap. WCW eventually stopped the Legends match as part of this show, but wow, WWE should not be touching this idea at all.
Money in the Bank Event: The main event "Money in the Bank" match requires Superstars to climb a ladder and retrieve a briefcase hung high above the ring. The winner can "cash in" the briefcase for a championship title shot throughout the year. Qualifying matches earlier in the event will determine participants for the "Money in the Bank" match.
Okay, we know MITB is a proven concept. Its always in most peoples top 3 reasons to watch Mania every year. That said do you want to take that out of Mania? Also if your going to take it out of Mania, you need to decide this quickly as Mania is just around the corner and qualifying for MITB needs to start soon for that. Finally with qualifying earlier in the night you then have (assuming they stick to 8 participants) 9 matches on one PPV just for the MITB, this means no title matches (which isn't always a bad thing) but leaves no room for anyone else on the card. So MITB which usually features the younger future champions of the company suddenly start featuring guys like John Cena, Randy Orton, Batista, Triple H & Shawn Michaels? The concept of MITB once again is to create your next big star. Having it as a one night event could ruin that.
WWE Draft Event: WWE's annual Draft where Superstars and Divas learn which brand they'll be a part of for the next year. The Draft is often the beginning of new conflicts and matchups.
No. This is best for 3 hour specials of Raw. No one is going to pay money to watch people drafted to different shows.
Battle Bowl Event: Random tag-teams compete together - sometimes arch rivals - with the winning teams being put in a 2-ring Battle Royal. The winner could potentially receive a championship title match.
I used to love Battle Bowl back in WCW. I would love the WWE to use it, but again this might be better for a 3 Hour Raw then a PPV. Especially, if its going to be the November PPV. Do you really want that and then 2 months later the Royal Rumble?
Roulette Event: Main event match stipulations would be determined by the spin of a roulette-type wheel.
Before Raw roulette there was Spin the Wheel Make the Deal as part of WCW's Halloween Havoc PPV. Where at the begining of the PPV, the challenger for the WCW Title would spin a wheel and whatever the gimmick match that came up thats what the Main Event Title Match would be. Well its kinda silly. Again better concept for a 3 hour Raw.
War Games Event: Teams of 5 collide in 2 cages. 2 participants begin the match with a new participant added every 5 minutes. This process is alternated between teams until all members from both teams are present.)
War Games again a match from WCW as part of there September Fall Brawl PPV. There is a couple problems with this. 1) Elimination Chamber was always WWE's concept. Plus TNA has really taken that concept anyways with Lethal Lockdown. 2) Again if this is the November PPV, in October there is Hell in a Cell PPV. So two big cage events back to back? No thanks.
No shit. The build up to SS this year was terrible. Plus including the fact that they made the SS concept pointless having the Bragging Rights ppv right before it.
I said the same thing. Bragging Rights was a dumb idea just before Survivor Series. It should have been incorporated into Survivor Series.
at MITB ppv
