WWE Plans More Gimmick PPVs

James ThorntonFeb 11, 2010

As of right now, I'm pretty sure most of the readers and writers of B/R know of WWE's plans of making more gimmick PPV's. If you haven't, then here's the deal.

Apparently, WWE was happy about the reception The Hell In The Cell PPV received, that they have decided to make more gimmick PPVs. Now in case some of you are not clear on what a "gimmick" match is, let me explain. It is simply a match that involves some type of stipulation, such as Tables, Ladders, Steel Cage, Chairs, etc. Got it, good. Back to the subject at hand.

According to Wrestlingnewsworld, WWE has come up with a list of gimmick PPV's that they are considering on making. Here are a list of them.

Roulette Event (Main event match stipulations would be determined by the spin of a roulette-type wheel.)

War Games Event (Teams of 5 collide in 2 cages. 2 participants begin the match with a new participant added every 5 minutes. This process is alternated between teams until all members from both teams are present.)

WWE Draft Event (WWE's annual Draft where Superstars and Divas learn which brand they'll be a part of for the next year. The Draft is often the beginning of new conflicts and matchups.)

Money in the Bank Event (The main event "Money in the Bank" match requires Superstars to climb a ladder and retrieve a briefcase hung high above the ring. The winner can "cash in" the briefcase for a championship title shot throughout the year. Qualifying matches earlier in the event will determine participants for the "Money in the Bank" match.)

Battle Bowl Event (Random tag-teams compete together - sometimes arch rivals - with the winning teams being put in a 2-ring Battle Royal. The winner could potentially receive a championship title match.)

Tournament Event (Single elimination "bracket style" tournament where Superstars would compete in multiple matches during the night to become the tournament winner.)

Street Fight Event (Main events would include"street fight" matches where there are no disqualifications and pin-falls count anywhere. Superstars often compete in normal street clothes.)

Legends Event (Match participants would include WWE Legends from the past.)

Looking over this list, I can say that some of these look like they would make good PPV's, but some of them do not. One of those is the Tournament Event. I feel like this is a stupid idea for the simple fact that WWE already has a PPV with the same format. The King Of The Ring.

Another match I feel would be stupid to make into a PPV would be the Money In The Bank. Money In The Bank was created at Wrestlemania and for that reason I feel it should just be exclusive to Wrestlemania. Like I said in my previous article, Money In The Bank is a good way to elevate young talent. Having it made into a PPV takes away that factor and is devalues the gimmick.

The matches that I feel would make good PPV's are the Roulette Event and the War Games event simply because it is something new and it sounds exciting.

The other matches are still on the fence to me. But as for the rest of you, how do you all feel about these gimmick PPVs WWE plans on making.
