Regular PPVs will be 4 hours long from now on.

[MrFirst2doit]

When your tired, got work early in the morning and burned out from 3 hours of wrestling, that fourth hour going to creep in like .....

 

[R=G]

I mean



I’m not gonna shyt on this just yet..... but gonna need to see how these cards look.

I do kinda feel that this is a tad bit much..... but gonna hold my opinion till I see a few cards

Well we was wondering how it would work..co branded ppvs with just 8 matches? Roman...Bryan...Styles are wrestling on every ppv. What happens to Braun, both women's champions, Seth, Jeff(midcard champions), this Drew McIntyre push, Almas/Zelina, the tag champs....alot of open space...Samoa Joe will keep mattering..just comedy.

This reminds me of when I would do essays and run out of legit information so I just regurgitated what I already said and made it longer hoping they would be inpressed with the volume and ignore the content

Literally the WWE in 2018

Roman Reigns... vs Brock Lesnar... in the Main Event... you don’t say?

With WWE moving to co-branded PPVs featuring talents from both Raw and Smackdown, one of the most asked questions among PWInsider.com readers was whether WWE intended to extend the length of their PPVs to accomodate all that talent. It appears that answer is yes.

PWInsider.com has been told by several sources that WWE reached out to international broadcast partners, including Sky in the UK and InDemand PPV to inform them that as of the 6/17 Money in the Bank PPV, their PPV events will kick off at 7 PM Eastern/4 PM Pacific (which means a Kickoff Show at 6 PM) and that the PPVs could run as long as four hours.

We are also told that cornerstone events, such as Summerslam, etc. could run longer.

In Demand's website currently lists Money in the Bank as starting at 6:30 PM EST, as they carry the final 30 minutes of the Kickoff Show leading into the PPV.

PWInsider.com has reached out to WWE for comment.

So they figured out that hard-splitting PPVs didn’t really work? Really it took this long...? Imagine watching Raw and Smackdown and being crazy about 3 wrestlers in each brand but when the PPV comes to town you can only see wrestlers - many you don’t care about - from one brand. Sounds smart...

So will they also just have nin-branded championships again, what’s the difference between the ‘Heavyweight’ belt and the ‘Universal’ belt worn by the heaviest dude..?

Makes no sense and diminishes the value of both belts

They should get rid of the fruit roll up and have the WWE CHampion travel to both shows like 02. That way the belt headlines shows and stops being put around midcarders wastes devaluing it even more

At one time it was thought that fans wouldn’t attend a house show unless a “world champ” was present

 

[Nintendough]

WM is gonna be a 2 day show.

WM weekend like All Star weekend

 

[Bob Loblaw]

WM weekend like All Star weekend

Special events like a Promo contest

I disagree with getting rid of belts.

I think when you do that you create this bigger log jam than what you already have.

Its one thing to have limited belts when you have a roster of about 30-45 male wrestlers. But when you have over 150, you have to accommodate your top talent, because you now how double that and its not fair to hold or keep certain guys down.

Imagine if this was say 97 and Vince had WCW and ECW talent and basically everything back then is how you have it now.

Hulk is your champ, but in addition to Taker, HBK, Bret (guys that are legendary and big time champs) you now have Macho, Sting, Rick Rude, Flair, DDP, Nash, Sid

Then undercard cats are Rocky, HHH, Goldberg, Austin, Booker, Benoit, Eddie, Angle, and so on. How do these guys every get a chance when Hogan and co still on top?

You'd HAVE to create a second equal title. They key thing is just give everyone a focus and treat it respectfully.

When WCW had a;

World Title
HW Title
US Title
TV Title
Hardcore Title
Tag Title
CW Title
Womens Title

and their large roster, they did a GREAT job of atleast organizing guys to atleast be in that respective category.

The problem with the E is, you have these titles, 150 guys but only at best 2 guys going after the respective champ and everyone else in these random empty spots

More than enough but they could use a traveling TV title

He’ll the women need a secondary title before the men’s get another

Final Results for Extreme Rules 2018

Match - 48.2% - 1h 46m 13s

Pre-match - 30.2% - 1h 06m 36s

Post-match - 12.2% - 26m 50s

Miscellaneous - 9.4% - 20m 49s

You spent over 20 minutes watching pre-match video packages at Extreme Rules

^Great breakdown of the entire PPV, courtesy cagesideseats.

What a waste of time. You spent over 20 minutes watching pre-match video packages. WTF is the pre-show for then?

WWE had a golden opportunity with new TV deals to work in weekday PPVs and lighten the hours on fans.

1 Hour TV (30 mins panel, 30 mins for a promo, a segment, a match) 2 hours Network (5-6 matches).

$9.99 and they can't trim the fat? There's no point in watching B-PPVs live.

Ufc suffers from the same shyt. We already purchased the ppv or found a stream. You no longer have to sell us on the match.
