5. Night of Champions - this PPV made sense...when there were 8 different titles to defend. Now, with talks of the IC and US title being unified, we're about to have only 5. Now if I'm not mistaken, usually 4 out of 5 championships are defended at a PPV anyway, so what's the point of having Night of Champions in the first place?
4. Survivor Series - yes, I realize it's one of the original "Big 4", but the classic "team" PPV has now been replaced by a far more interesting Bragging Rights, which happens a month earlier. Vince considered cancelling the PPV this year. Considering this year's buyrates will be as low as last year's, he'll probably regret his previous decision.
3. Extreme Rules - I realize that there's nothing really "extreme" about Extreme Rules, and that it's sole purpose is to bring closure to whatever happens at WrestleMania, but honestly, is it really that nessecary?
2. Hell In A Cell - this is a pay-per-view that SHOULD be a good thing, but it's not. The biggest reason is that we already have the Elimination Chamber, which is a far more interesting and important "cage" PPV. It's basically two world title matches, but with a cage around the ring. Boring, and at times, difficult to see.
1. Over The Limit - by far the most boring and uninteresting PPV WWE has produced in a while. Is there a gimmick? No. Is there a theme? No. Should it even exist? Absolutely not. What is it? A waste of money. 3 hour episodes of Raw are better than this.
And there you have it. If there were 5 PPVs that WWE could trim off their yearly schedule, those would be the three. Either nothing about them stands out, or they are a weaker rehase of an earlier PPV. IMO, the schedule should look like this.
January - Royal Rumble
Febraury - Elimination Chamber
March
April - WrestleMania
May - Fatal 4-Way
June
July - Money in the Bank
August - SummerSlam
September
October - Bragging Rights
November
December - TLC: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs
8 PPVs in 12 months, with 1 every 6-8 weeks. That gives plenty of time to build better fueds, and makes people actually care about buying them.
