Scrap No Way out?

[MikeRaw]

What do ya think? After seeing the advertisement for the Elimination Chamber, I got thinking about how rushed it is.
Think about it. We just had the Royal Rumble. WM is in 2 months. That leaves great time in between to build up an uniterupted feud that means something... Doesn't it?
Well, instead, we have another fucking PPV in just 3 weeks.
That means there is so much distractions from the main feud, with like 6 guys randomly feuding heading in to No Way Out.
I think it takes away from the Road To Wrestlemania a bit. I still like the time up until WM though, but I think it'd be better with no No Way Out.

I don't. Most of the fueds would get stale with 9 weeks of build up.

 

[Seventh Reason]

Is 10 weeks too long to build WM feuds? (The length of time between RR and WM).

EDIT: Gracias CMS. On that note, leave it there. NWO is about the Elimination Chambers so it's basically a gimmick PPV that does no harm wedged between RR and WM.

No it helps buld more matches for mania plus if we dont have a man event for one show thats the show where we get it and the card is starting to be formed i never get teh feeling that its rushed in building to NWO or WM

 

[MikeRaw]

To each his own. But like I said, I still don't really like it. I just feel there's too many ppv's each year, and the one time that shouldn't be rushed is leading to WM.

I'll give a response when you score a minimum C+ in English. Fuck me ...

Argument FOR the removal of NWO the promotion of the Royal Rumble PPV as the "beginning of the Road to Wrestlemania" and NWO is a roadblock of sorts.

On the other hand, NWO is a great launching pad for WM feuds and WM gimmick feuds ie. Mayweather vs. Show, the tag team match in 2007 led to both ME title matches, Orton took Rey's WM title match and eventually the triple-threat was created - etc etc etc

I don't think the Mania feuds are rushed, the midcard ones get 6 weeks, and the top ones are already getting teased.

 

[MikeRaw]

^Ya, they're getting teased, but for what?
With No Way out, the feuds get teased, but then either cancelled (if there's a new champ at No Way out) or sidetracked into meaning less (Like when the champ is involvedin another feud for No Way Out, and doesn't feud with the contender until after No Way Out.
Basically, it just adds a sidetrack to the Road To Wrestlemania, which is stupid, because the Royal Rumble should set up the feuds for WM, and allow for a long, emotionally invested feud. Instead, it doesn't take off until after No Way Out.

I just think that they could still have the little twists in the storylines like they do without No Way Out, and that way, focus more on the storylines from the Royal Rumble. It's no secret that the best storylines are the ones with at least 8 weeks of buildup (Y2J vs HBK, Cena vs Edge, Edge vs Taker, etc), and No Way Out makes it more like two guys just thrown together to have a match at WM, because there's only 4 weeks or so of buildup.

6 weeks.

 

[MikeRaw]

^Is it? Oh, I guess it is. But I still stand by what I said. No treally an argument, it all just comes down to what kind of feud you like. Like I said, I personally like them when they start from the Rumble, and carry all the way til Wrestlemania.
If they could find a way to do that, and build the feud from Royal Rumble, until WM, while keeping No Way Out, that would be the best situation. For example, a few years ago, HBK vs Cena and Taker vs Batista started right from RR, and up until WM, and even though No Way Out was still there, the feuds between Michaels and Cena and Batista and Taker were still continuing. Now though, and most years, the champ is in some sort of other match at No Way Out, and the feud doesn't get started til after. That's how it usually is, because No Way Out is a roadblock.

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

You can argue that Cena vs Orton vs HHH started at NWO, and even though Edge was feuding Rey Mysterio, there was already build up for his match against Taker.

I have not seen a feud that really gets affected by No Way Out.

 

[Seventh Reason]

They were feuding whilst on the same tag teams?

 

[MikeRaw]

^Correct. Did you not watch back then?
HBK and Cena were feuding from the week after the Rumble, and Taker, who won the Rumble, was taking on Batista at wm, but at NWO that year, Batista and Taker had to team up to take on Cena and HBK.

 

[milkman7]

I think that NWO is necessary, because it builds Mania up kinda like a regular tv show, but with PPV worthy matches.

I don't necessarily agree that the whole PPV needs to be scrapped... It's served a good purpose over the years to either start, or continue with, WM storylines, but the part I don't like is the EC matches being there... It detracts from both RR (especially taking the shine off of the RR victory) & WM and would be so much better utilised later in the year when, at times, WWE can be seen to be thin on ideas. They're an 'easy-win' match from a promoter point of view - Why use them at a time of the year when they should have their hottest shit bubblin', have a clear vision of the next couple of months and have enough storylines unfolding to keep us entertained anyway?

SD's will stink this year too.... A 'broken' Taker, Big Show, Koslov, HHH, Jeff Hardy & Edge... It's only really the latter 2 that give us something else other than 'the unbeatable bohemouth' type of guy.

I'm assuming Raw will contain Cena, Jericho, JBL, Kane, Mysterio + one more (I'm guessing HBK entering will be veto'd by JBL for failing him at The Rumble).

...But we're already seeing a fail in logic, by the fact that if you were to leave Orton out you'd make a complete mockery of the (imaginary, but alluded to) contendership rankings whilst if he does compete, what was the point of going up against 30-guys @ RR? ...And what if he did compete and win? ...Would RKO as new champ walk into WM only to have the night-off because he'd effectively be his own #1 contender?
