by The WWE decided to cut out the traditional April backlash Pay Per View this year, and for good reason. After a 7 plus hour mania, I think they sensed everyone could use a break. When you add in the Saudia Arabia PPV’s, the WWE PPV product is starting to get watered down.
True wrestling fans remember “the good old days”, of only 4 WWF Pay Per Views a year. Those being the Royal Rumble, Survivor Series, SummerSlam, and WrestleMania. In June of 1993 they expanded it to five with WWF King of the Ring, and no one seemed to mind.
It wasn’t until the spring of 1995, in an effort to compete with the growing WCW that they decided to go with monthly shows. Eventually in 2002, they would have a brand split and that is when things began to get out of control with constant Pay Per View shows, with several months having multiple shows.
It has gone through various stages ever since, and with the WWE Network in full swing, there is no shortage of content for fans to enjoy. Thus, the need for more than one super show a month, being a limited one at best. Fans will not be getting bored even if the WWE scales back to one a month.
So that begs the question, which do they keep, which do they get rid of, and more important, which do they bring back from WCW? We decided to tackle just that! The concept is simple, one a month on the last Sunday of the month.
