It's no longer a One Night Stand... Move over Extreme Rules...

[Xero]

It's... THE NIGHT OF EXTREME!

From PWInsider:

The 6/7 WWE PPV will now be titled "Night of Extreme."

The June PPV, originally titled One Night Stand was re-named "Extreme Rules" a few weeks back.

[SammyG]

THE NIGHT OF EXTREME ONE NIGHT STAND RULES

[Juan]

Meh, I like it better than just "Extreme Rules"

[Hanso Amore]

I would prefer they just go back to the shitty, Generic, Clint Eastwood movie name sounding titles they have always used.

[Lock Jaw]

So they'll have Night of Extreme and Night of Champions?

[Xero]

WWE On Your Laptop 1: Cena is Here
WWE On Your Laptop 2: Here Come Cena
WWE OYL3: Cena's Revenge
WWE OYL4: Jiggletits Teams with Cena

[Kane86]

WWE does nto know the meaning of extreme................ If one person does not even blade at this PPV then it will be another failure.

[Xero]

I guess you could say it's BLADE IT OR BREAK IT for WWE.

[Kane86]

Maybe

[Kalyx triaD]

I guess you could say it's BLADE IT OR BREAK IT for WWE.

Maybe

:lol:

[Kane Knight]

Wasn't it one of the worst-selling PPVs last year? And not so hot before that? Now that ECW is no longer a novelty niche, and the brand specific thing is dead, what's te point?

[James Steele]

WWE needs to bring back Fully Loaded.

[JT]

So in one month they are having 2 PPVs with the same name with no special stipulations surrounding it. Why don't they just cancel it and give people their money baaa...ohhhh, that's why they didn't cancel it.

[JT]

WWE needs to bring back <s>Fully Loaded</s> King of the Ring.

Followed up by WWE: Night of Cena.

[JT]

what?

Meant to say "same sounding" name.

My mistake.

[Mr. Nerfect]

WWE needs to bring back Fully Loaded.

I loved that PPV name. They should change "Night of Champions" to "Fully Loaded." Also, turning one of their generic mid-year PPVs into "King of the Ring" would be great.

January: Royal Rumble
February: No Way Out
March/April: WrestleMania
April: Backlash
May: Judgment Day (Extreme Rules)
June: King of the Ring
June: Fully Loaded (Night of Champions)
July: The Great American Bash
August: Summerslam
September: Unforgiven
October: Halloween Havoc
November: Survivor Series
December: Starrcade

There you go, some PPV names and a way to give each PPV some identity.

[Sting Fan]

One PPV gimmick and one PPV gimmick only needs to retun, Wargames.

Other than that I couldnt give a shit.

[Tazz Dan]

ZOMG. JEFF IS SO GOING TO TURN HEEL AND LITA IS GOING TO RETURN AND THEY'LL TEAM BACK UP WITH MATT AND IT'S GOING TO BE THE NIGHT OF EXTREME!!!!!!!!!!!1111111!!!!!!!!ONEONEONEONE!!!!!!! IT'S STILL REAL TO ME DAMNIT!!!!!!

[Tazz Dan]

Seriously though, I much prefer Night of Extreme to Extreme Rules.

[Xero]

Update from PWInsider:

The 6/7 WWE PPV formerly known as One Night Stand is back to being titled "Extreme Rules" again on the WWE website, so the change yesterday was either an error or an idea that has been discarded that quick.

==
I guess they heard the positive reaction and put a stop to it.

[Team Sheep]

I don't think we'll see a King of the Ring PPV again in the modern era because with the brand extension the PPV's are all just a bunch of main event and upper mid card matches. They don't do PPV's that works it's way up from the bottom up to the main event like they used to.

Like, look at the Wrestlemania card last year. Apart from MITB each match had a main event or upper mid card guy wrestling in them. Rewind back to like Wrestlemania 17, you had an IC title match, European title match, RTC vs APA & Tazz, stuff like that towards the start then culminates with the main event.

The way it's done these days is more star studded but the other way is the traditional way to book a card.

[Jeritron]

I really would like to see Night of Champions and No Mercy renamed Fully Loaded and Halloween Havoc respectively

[Jeritron]

That isn't to say they have to be permenantly. I like the ppv titles being switched up yearly, aside from the big ones. They've stopped doing that since the attitude era.

I guess I'm just not keen on the same ppv names every year, since I think that is a history that should only belong to the annual cornerstones. Unforgiven is going into it's 11th year. Same with many others. I feel like only Rumble, Mania, Summerslam and Survivor Series should have "annual history".

[Krimzon7]

fuck that, bring on war games.

[Savio]

I was mad the wasn't a St. Valentines Day Massacre 2

[Afterlife]

"Halloween Havoc" is such a horrible, horrible name.


Also, if you want a ppv full of extreme matches, then why not bring back the name "Bad Blood"? It hints rather well at violence.

[Savio]

I hated the name bad blood I'd rather go for "21 chair shots"

[James Steele]

War Games would make me splooge.

[Mercury Bullet]

They need to drop this PPV altogether

[Krimzon7]

MB has it, drop that ppv and bring back the WAR GAMES

[Kane Knight]

They need to drop this PPV altogether

I think they're more likely to add more PPVs.

Which means more chances for War Games! :shifty:

[Kane Knight]

And while we're at it, do you think we could add a Pay Per View where all the matches take place inside a steel cage/HIAC?

[Xero]

They could call it Lock Down.

[thedamndest]

JR: Welcome to our annual Tribute to the Troops! I sure hope the superstars pick up a thing or two, because next week the WWE presents War Games!

[IC Champion]

I would prefer they just go back to the shitty, Generic, Clint Eastwood movie name sounding titles they have always used.

Unforgiven is a great fucking movie. FTW

[Jeritron]

For A Few Dollars More would actually be a pretty fitting name if they added yet another uneeded PPV

[Jeritron]

Bowflex presents Hang Em High wouldn't go over so well

[Afterlife]

"Bedtime For Bonzo" would be 2 hours and 45 minutes of CM Punk kneeing chimps in the head. I'd pay thirty bucks for that.

[Afterlife]

Bowflex presents Hang Em High wouldn't go over so well

It'd be big for about 2 months, and then the company would pretend it never happened.

[jerichoholicninja]

Did I read correctly that they changed the name back to Extreme Rules?

[Jeritron]

No, the name will be decided before the actual event via online polls and text messaging

[Kane Knight]

No, the name will be decided before the actual event via online polls and text messaging

Which will be tossed out when "Night of Chyna" gets more votes than the other choices combined.

[BodySlam]

they should change it to::::

BASH AT THE BEACH

or

KING OF THE RING

[thedamndest]

As much as we love the KotR, by today's WWE standards it does make more sense to do it on a three hour Raw than a PPV. You'd still have qualifying matches and guys from all brands, but this way you can do longer matches and give the mid-card guys a chance to shine all in one night. It's makes the winner look better than just competing in the finals somewhere on a regular PPV card amid six other championship matches. Plus, you'd probably get more people watching it than the PPV itself.
