It's a ratings producer and I doubt they are going to be giving it the PPV quality treatment are they?
WWE do it all the time, Tonight they have Cena Vs HBK again, which won't be anything like the Mania match, but is being used as a way to bring in the ratings.

But it likely won't produce ratings, and if it does, it'll be for one week. And in the grand scheme ratings don't matter. Plus, if they aren't doing the PPV treatment then why do it - any outside fans you draw in to see this huge match are getting burned by not getting what they imagine from the match and a fuck finish anyway. It's designed to fail. And with this, you can never say they haven't touched, you can never do the first match again, and the allure of the big PPV clash of titans is gone.
And to justify it by saying WWE is doing it is a little silly - they're a billion dollar company, they can afford to put these matches on TV. TNA's been losing money since the day it opened, and still is.
