WWE Bragging Rights
 
From PWInsider:

First WWE's 10/25 PPV was called Cyber Sunday. Then, because the buyrates for the fan-voting concept kept dropping, they scrapped the interactive idea and the name of the show was changed to Annihilation. Then, reportedly because some folks in management didn't like that name, last week WWE changed the title back to Cyber Sunday. We told you all not to get used to that one, with good reason, as it's been changed again.

WWE.com now has a page up for the show and the new name is "WWE Bragging Rights". Was Annihilation worse than that?

Who the fuck is coming up with these terrible names? Fire them. Now.

Terrible

GD 07-13-2009 06:41 PM

I think they are trying hard to screw the adult audience from the viewership.

Krimzon7 07-13-2009 06:42 PM

You cannot fire Vince McMahon.

GD 07-13-2009 06:48 PM

I can see it coming...

Friend: Dude watchya doing?
G Dave: Watching TV...
Friend: What's on?
G Dave: WWE Bragging Rights
Friend: Oh...
G Dave: So...(hangs up)...:nono:

Worst. PPV name. Ever.

At least they're not stealing the name from a UFC PPV like they are with Breaking Point.

Lock Jaw 07-13-2009 06:59 PM

All matches will be non-title and only for bragging rights.

Juan 07-13-2009 07:12 PM

All this Blackman stuff is getting lame.

Afterlife 07-13-2009 07:22 PM

WWE presents Steve Blackman.

Each match is a staring contest.

With nun-chuks.

Where did the lizard go?

DarKCentaur 07-13-2009 07:29 PM

There should be a stipulation on that PPV that all losers are to have their bragging rights removed, and must become humble shells of their former selves.

GD 07-13-2009 07:32 PM

Jericho versus Miz in a rant match. Both men should keep on talking about "hypocrites" and "I am awesome" respectively until one passes out.

thedamndest 07-13-2009 07:36 PM

So it's pretty much confirmed that they're bringing back the "Judy Bagwell on a Pole" match?

Ohhhhh then the Iron Sheik must be the Guest of Honor for this PPV...he enjoys making people humble...:yes:

Dorkchop 07-13-2009 08:27 PM

I don't know what's worse Taboo Tuesday or Bragging Rights

My wife says bragging rights is worse.

muffalufagus 07-13-2009 08:29 PM

Sounds like a terrible B-Movie title.

Stephen Seagal, no doubt.

DaVe 07-14-2009 12:54 AM

What a dog name.

Annihilation is at least something you could pass as an Attitude Era PPV name.

muffalufagus 07-14-2009 01:39 AM

touche.

You're just guessing that, right? Because if that's true, this may end up as one lame PPV.

Ah, it's no big deal really. He just forgot to end with "[/sarcasm]".

Rammsteinmad 07-14-2009 06:32 AM

Y'know, after thinking about it, a PPV with no title matches would actually be pretty good for uh... nothing. :shifty:

No, but hopefully someone will take the crackpipe away from him.

Getting?

The Chuck Nor... I mean Steve Blackman has been lame for some time now.

kareru 07-14-2009 12:10 PM

night of champions also annoys me
'the only night where every championship is on the line'

but wasn't every championship on the line at the bash?
championship matches is the least i expect from a ppv

FourFifty 07-14-2009 12:48 PM

I could pull better names and ideas out of my ass.

WWE-WildCard
The gimmick is someone who has not gotten a title shot in a year or more gets a title shot. This isn't a storyline, this is just a way to help build a younger talent when the champion goes over. Make it a battle royal to declare who gets the title shot, a tournament, or pick guy's name out of a hat. Do that for one brand, someone from the ECW New Talent program thingie, and don't put the third title on the line (opt for a tag match or something with that brand's champion). Book the rest of the ppv as normal.

Don't want a gimmicky ppv? Fine.
WWE Redemption
WWE Heat Wave (they do have the rights to that name, right? it would be a nice intro to SummerSlam)
WWE Fall Out
<strike>WWE Crush Hour</strike>
WWE Mass Attack (or is that too edgy for Linda?)
WWE Break Down
WWE Living On The Edge (or simply On Edge)

Or, and here's a wild concept. Are you following me, camera guy?
Don't do 842390 ppvs a year.

screech 07-14-2009 02:53 PM

This shit is ridiculous.

Droford 07-14-2009 03:04 PM

WWE UnCensored*! The one night a year when the WWE Completely ditches the PG-13 crap and goes all out. Extreme violence, blood, cussing..maybe even naked Divas..leave the kids at home for this one!

*not to be confused with WCW's crapfests known as UnCensored.

Cool King 07-14-2009 04:42 PM

The name sounds like the name of a show that some really terrible British Indy Fed would put on at a local town hall and the posters describe it as "Real American Wrestling!". :roll: One of those sorts of Feds that have a roster full of old fat men. :|

But seriously though, Bragging Rights? It's possibly the worst name they've came up with yet.

McLegend 07-14-2009 04:52 PM

I thought Cool King was dead?

Cool King 07-14-2009 05:03 PM

Nope, not dead. Just returned to TPWW after a sudden 3 year absence. :D

US Title and the Divas title.

Darc 07-14-2009 10:16 PM

Bragging Rights.....well they don't have much to brag about with producing shitty names like that.

But I'm to lazy to think of an alternative.

DAMN iNATOR 07-15-2009 01:50 PM

WWE Presents "Please spend $50 of your hard-earned paycheck on our new crap pay-per-view this Sunday..."

That's what they should call it, if they care in the least about being truthful.

Jordan 07-15-2009 02:10 PM

I wish WWE would just keep it to 12 ppv's a year. What do they have now like 14? Bragging Rights is so stupid!
