I remember when Austin made Triple H vs Kevin Nash hell in a Cell, the emotion behind the announcement. Then there's Maddox announcing Orton and bryan. I think Maddox was trying to sell the fact that he was in the doghouse with HHH and Steph. Plus the general gist of his gimmick is that he's a subpar performer with stars in his eyes. I think someone described him as a "heel Zack Ryder". None the less, it's been like that for the past couple of years. |

I think that they need to reshuffle and shake-up the PPV line-up. I'd like to see King of the Ring return, along with War Games, and maybe even Clash of the Champions. #Shrugs Sadly, tournament PPVs have never drawn well, which is a shame, because the concept behind them is great. War Games just wouldn't work in the WWE. In WCW, the rings were smaller, and they used two of them. The WWE setup would just take too many seats out for a two ring setup, and a one ring setup would look like a crappier version of Lethal Lockdown. For me, there aren't enough gimmick PPVs. You just don't have to shoehorn the top feud into it. In fact, you can have a PPV calendar with no repeated main events for title, with a gimmick match as the semi-main event. May: Money In The Bank start the PPV year by elevating someone by giving them the briefcase. Second MITB match for the number 1 contender for the WWE title. WWE Champ faces a Beat the Clock type winner. June/July: King of the Ring: 8 man tournament, with second MITB holder getting his title shot. August: Summerslam: WWE Title match v King of the Ring. Undercard can feature 6 pack challenge for number 1 contender September: Fall Brawl (or whatver) - Battlebowl type random tag matches, with the finalists facing off in a singles Turmoil match. WWE Champ v 6 pack challenge winner. October: Hallowen Havoc (or whatever) - New gimmick match to determine the number 1 contender. WWE champ faces Turmoil winner November: Survivor Series - all matches bar the WWE title match are Survivor Series matches. WWE title holder faces number 1 contender December: Starrcade (or whatever) - Scramble match with the Survivor Series survivors & the champion for the WWE title. January; Royal Rumble - WWE champ faces the winner of a breakthrough battle royal (from the first Raw of the year) February: Elimination Chamber - One match for the WWE title. April: Wrestlemania That way you could extend feuds without having the same guys face each other week after week. Say you have the Shield as tag champs. They lose the straps at Summerslam, and Reigns tuns on Rollins. They could be "randomly" drawn to face each other at Fall Brawl, but only have short interaction, or drawn together and each say they'll do the best so they can beat the other in the Turmoil match (only to lose). Both enter the October gimmick match, but don't face each other. November, they captain different SS teams, but Reigns gets himself DQed without Rollins getting his hands on him. Rollins then survives and gets a title shot at Starrcade, only for Reigns to cost him, Rollins eliminates Reigns from the Rumble, but loses in the EC before Reigns enters. All the while building up for a Wrestlemania match between the two, as their first one-on-one contest. (And when you look at how how Wrestlemania X was, most of those feuds started in the September/October time). |

I'd rather them go back to the IYH concept, with PPV's constantly changing. Keep Royal Rumble, WM, put MitB in June, Summerslam, and then Survivor Series.
