On the WWE Network? Not on PPV?

All the non-Big 4 PPVs are being moved to the WWE Network.

The winning team (or the leader of the winning team) should sport the cover of WWE '13.
Make the match worth something.

All the non-Big 4 PPVs are being moved to the WWE Network. This is honestly a great idea. The only PPVs that people seem to want to actually order these days are the big four. Most fans that want to watch the auxiliary PPVs are the same people that will want to have the WWE Network anyways.

SO let me get this straight, they are moving most of the PPV's to the Network? Will people still need to pay a price or would it just be a perk of paying for the channel?
I only ask because this sounds like an incredibly smart business model. Granted this could hurt them and buy rates go down even further, but it definitely seems like the big 4 will feel special again.

It would also be more inclined to help put more investment into the Big 4. I mean, a few years ago, they were charging $40-$60 a PPV for 15 PPVs. This looks more logical, and can help sell the network itself.

I can see this being a good thing. It essentially turns the other PPVs into Clash of the Champions.
There was a report that said that Elimination Chamber would be a show on PPV as well, which kind of makes sense since it's on the Road to WrestleMania.

But at the same time, should they really put three of their Pay-Only PPVs right in a row? I say keep it spread it out. The big four makes sense: 5 months after 'Mania: Summerslam... About three months later: Survivor Series... About two months later: Royal Rumble... About two months later: Wrestlemania... This, to me, sounds very enticing. Adding in Elimination Chamber would kinda ruin it... especially because the prestige of the PPV isn't very majestic or special.

Isn't the concept of Bragging Rights redundant? Everyone shows up on RAW, and it's not rare to see RAW superstars on Smackdown.

I was hoping we'd seen the last of Bragging Rights. as mentioned already, with the Raw Supershow, there is no point to pretending there is a brand split.
Also, I thought I heard that the PPV's for 2012 would continue to be available as PPV, in addition to being on the network. Then in 2013 or 2014, they would become network exclusive.

Bragging Rights is such a stupid concept for a PPV anyway.
"Let's put our personal animosities aside and fight for brand supremacy/a crappy trophy that will only be seen once subsequently and then never again! YEAH!"
I say bring back the Scramble match for a PPV, and bring back the "Unforgiven" name or something.

A Raw vs. Smackdown PPV in this modern era just doesn't work, because not only do SD superstars compete on the Raw Supershow every week now (and even before then they would appear anyways), but Raw superstars sometimes compete on Smackdown. Even on NXT and Superstars they have brand vs. brand matches because the rosters are so thin. Why not replace Capitol Punishment with King Of The Ring? Or hell, bring back one of the old PPV's like Unforgiven or No Mercy?

Wait a minute, this show won't be shown on PPV also? Odds are, I will not have the WWE Network any time soon, as my cable company is very stingy about adding new channels. Does this mean i'm shut out? This WWE Network could kill my monthly Hooters PPV adventure

I wouldn't say Capitol Punishment was replaced; sounded like a one-off PPV from the get-go. I doubt they were going to schedule a June PPV for DC every year.
I say just scrap the June PPV. If it's mid-June, I'm out by the pool anyway, and so are a lot of other people.

Meh, I hate Bragging Rights. Though I hated Capitol Punishment even more. So I guess this is what you would call the lesser of two evils?
