Well, they succeeded in the "better describing" part of that, but I'd say they failed in the "build intrest" part. For me personally, I wasn't really intrested in Breaking Point, Hell In A Cell or Bragging Rights, though the names did better describe what was in store for me if I was to watch it, which I did, though purely out of habbit.

I wouldn't really say they were eliminating one of there June PPV's. All they did was move Extreme Rules from June to May. They still have the Bash so no June PPV was really eliminated.

So I take it that the TBD is what is going to replace Judgment Day, though I am a bit surprised that they got rid of Breaking Point.

Though Hell In A Cell is still there, much to my "dismay". If anything, they should have just gotten rid of Hell In A Cell and that way keeping the Hell In A Cell match "Fresh" and not something we can all just come to expect is going to happen on a yearly bases. It happened with the Elimination Chamber and now it's not so much a big thing as it first was.

Instead, they could have kept Breaking Point but just not with the gimmick of Submission Matches. Breaking Point is a cool name for a PPV on it's own without having a gimmick. But those are just my opinions.
