Seven minutes into Day 1 and we've already heard the term "Premium Live Event" at least twice. Was this terminology used before tonight?

Pay Per View sounds cool.
Premium Live Event just sounds cheap.
Like we could go to the All Male Strip Club, or we can go to the All Male Premium Live Event.
I'll see y'all at the strip club.

"Premium Live Event" sounds cheap. Premium reminds me of "premium access," which reminds me of porn.

Pay Per View made sense, when you know, everyone paid per view. When these events are available as part of a subscription service, that term really is outdated.

It's the latest corporate buzzword they're going to run into the ground.
While we're at it, who told Cole to say "And wrestler kicks at - " every time. Can we not say "Kicks out" anymore? "Gets the shoulder up"? Something?

And finding a new term is fine, but the term should at least sound like words that would come out of a person's mouth. "Premium live event" is a great way for people to keep calling them PPVs

"Premium live event" sounds like it would be a dual-branded house show.

I swear, no matter what they called it some people are gonna complain just because the WWE is doing it.
