Why Yall Only Want Blockbuster Main Events at the "Big 4" PPVs?

[Vinny Lupton]

Last night during Shelton/Gable vs Ascension in the middle of Smackdown.

What a crowd, what a turnout

 

[TobiOT]

Granted this comapy can't help themselves and they tend to just plan now instead of the future. Watch them have Nakamara vs AJ Styles at Clash of champions or whatever

 

[JQ Legend]

No Way Out 03 had Rock vs Hogan

I just looked this up

Elsewhere on the card Brock was in a tag match with Paul Heyman in the other team's corner?

Complain about getting big matches throughout the year brehs
Then turn around and complain about shytty b ppvs brehs

To me, it's not really a "wait until the big 4". It's moreso that the E has gotten fans into a throwaway mentality where they know the b level PPVs will usually have a shytty build, not to mention that where the two guys (or ladies or teams) will fight every week before the PPV in some way, then have the exact same fukking rematch the night after the PPV match.

WM builds seem to be slightly better in terms of time to build a feud and overall effort (creatively) that's put into the entire story. It's definitely not always a given, but it's called WM season for a reason.

IMO, when a big match build is done right, such as the entire Reigns/Strowman saga and even Brock/Braun now, it doesn't matter where the match is done. To me it's actually preferable that the goodness is equally distributed across the year like the attitude era.

This.

I made as much fun of The great balls of fire as anyone but I refuse to act like I didn't enjoy the hell out of that show.

No Mercy is gonna be one of the most pivotal non big 4 ppvs of the last 3-4 Years.

I'm praying that some of y'all don't play ya selves & not re up on your subscription.

I really wish WWE would go the UFC route on some events

call it

"WWE No Mercy: Braun vs Brock" making it feel like a mega fight just like "Mayweather vs McGregor"

and then....
"Clash of Champions: Nakamura vs Mahal"

it just gives it a vintage feel

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

So the idea is to do 12 PPVs a year that are equal and never build to any actual big events?

 

[Alfred0Santana]

Cause them probably the only ones I'll watch

I see you. You only bring this up because of

Yeah Heyman turned on Brock at one point but they eventually got back together.

If anything, it's in WWE's best interest to put more big moments and matches on B PPV's and Smackdown/Raw. The big 4 are, well, the big 4. They'll do numbers regardless. The only one that may need a push is Survivor Series because they haven't treated it well over the years, but Wrestlemania, Summerslam, and Royal Rumble are guaranteed to sell out and get big views on the network.

But WWE doesn't just want you to tune in then. They want you watching Raw and Smackdown and subscribed to the Network for shyt like No Mercy and Battleground. Which means those events need to have things like title changes and the odd "dream match" to make them feel like they matter.

Now I get wanting the big 4 to have the special matches (though I feel that's mainly an issue for Mania and Summerslam, as SurSer and the Rumble have their own specialty matches). But from a business perspective, you shouldn't be commmunicating to customers that there are only 4 nights in calendar year where something important will happen.

 

[Kinguno]

Didn't last year SmackDown had multiple "special event" nights like that wild card night why can't the "PPV"s be like that ?

House shows should be on the network

 

[The Eliminator]

Last night during Shelton/Gable vs Ascension in the middle of Smackdown.

Your biggest name going to Raw will do that...
And it's Little Rock,nothing else to say

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

I don't quite understand it from a business standpoint or really as a viewer either, I don't mind seeing big matches at these B-level shows obviously because otherwise why watch

BUT as I was saying, if the plan is Roman vs. Brock at Mania then I'd say having Brock/Braun or Roman/Cena would have made more sense for the Superdome

 

[Piff Huxtable]

There's still some big matches left.


We still Could get Cena vs Joe ,Cena Vs Braun,Balor Vs Brock, Balor Vs Braun, Balor Vs Cena,bray vs Bruan,Dean Vs Balor, Seth vs stroman.turning Dean heel Would help and shake things up Alot

Big matches and Balor in the same sentence
