Only thing I can imagine Wild Card being is either the gimmick of the match or the opponents are randomized, like the RAW Roulette.

But that's not how WWE works and they'll probably just do a regular undercard, one title match, MITB then the other title match.
this was on the front page last week...

WWE’s 2009 financial results revealed a sharp decline in the 2009 Survivor Series PPV buyrate (down 26% from 2008) while the company’s new gimmick-themed events (Hell in a Cell, Bragging Rights, TLC) all did better than their 2008 counterparts.
Vince McMahon stated during this morning’s WWE conference call that the WWE Survivor Series title is “obsolete” and has “outlasted its usage.” He said WWE does not intend on using the name moving forward. As a result, it appears WWE is considering more gimick-themed PPVs, including several concepts used back in WCW.
In a survey sent out to the WWE Universe this morning, WWE asks fans what their level of interest is in the following potential PPV event themes:
Tournament Event: Single elimination “bracket style” tournament where Superstars would compete in multiple matches during the night to become the tournament winner.
Street Fight Event: Main events would include”street fight” matches where there are no disqualifications and pin-falls count anywhere. Superstars often compete in normal street clothes.
Legends Event: Match participants would include WWE Legends from the past.
Money in the Bank Event: The main event “Money in the Bank” match requires Superstars to climb a ladder and retrieve a briefcase hung high above the ring. The winner can “cash in” the briefcase for a championship title shot throughout the year. Qualifying matches earlier in the event will determine participants for the “Money in the Bank” match.
WWE Draft Event: WWE’s annual Draft where Superstars and Divas learn which brand they’ll be a part of for the next year. The Draft is often the beginning of new conflicts and matchups.
Battle Bowl Event: Random tag-teams compete together – sometimes arch rivals – with the winning teams being put in a 2-ring Battle Royal. The winner could potentially receive a championship title match.
Roulette Event: Main event match stipulations would be determined by the spin of a roulette-type wheel.
War Games Event: Teams of 5 collide in 2 cages. 2 participants begin the match with a new participant added every 5 minutes. This process is alternated between teams until all members from both teams are present.)

Yeah, but who knows if they'd go with that format.

If they did, I'd be happily surprised.

It would be better to do Judgment Day in May.

Fatal Four Way? Really? Would it be that hard to put The Great American Bash in that spot? It’s in JUNE. Ugh.

I really prefer having Money In The Bank in the midcard at WrestleMania. We can now expect the winner to be John Cena or Triple-H.

Hell In A Cell should only be used to end feuds. I don’t like having to force feuds into the cell. CM Punk/Undertaker and D-Generation X/Legacy weren’t intense enough to warrant a Hell In A Cell Match.

Here's how I'd do the PPV schedule:

January: Royal Rumble
February: No Way Out
March: WrestleMania
April: Backlash
May: Judgment Day
June: The Great American Bash
August: SummerSlam
November: Survivor Series

Money in the Bank? So this means either they aren't doing the ladder match at WM anymore (which would be gay), or that's the night the MITB gets a title shot...which defeats the purpose of having the MITB to begin with

Wild Card sounds like the draft PPV! Pity they removed Backlash though, it was one of the best PPV's in the year.

Anyway I bet these gimmick PPV's will bring in more money, as was the case in 2009!

So I've been thinking about it and as much as I hate the idea of almost every PPV being a gimmick I've tried looking at all the PPV's of the year as a whole.

It definitely feels better to think of it as a whole cause then you see everything from April to March as them being great obstacles to overcome and those who can truly overcome all the obstacles make it all the way to Mania.

I know it sounds like a queer perspective but it's better than being upset at gimmick PPV's for extended periods of time.

Vince gives away his millions again, but only to people who can verify they actually ordered the live PPV.

If it weren't so blatant..it would probably work.

These gimmick themed PPV's appear to be catered towards the developing/planned story lines.

I was hoping that Money in the Bank would be a tournament themed PPV like King of the Ring, where the winner wins MITB. But nah Would be a good way to bring a tournament back though, like when they had the winner face the champion at Summerslam in the last KOTR. I think one of the KOTR's faults was that if you won it, it didn't really mean anything. Sure it developed character's and in wrestling talk it meant a sort of gateway to upper mid card/main event status, but you need something to reward the winner so casual fans know it isn't a waste of time.

Could you imagine the following eight men in a tournament on pay-per-view? Have a World Heavyweight Championship Match between the semifinals and finals, then have a WWE Championship Match after the finals, where the winner has a shot at either title at SummerSlam.

Drew McIntyre
R-Truth

Jack Swagger
Kofi Kingston

Christian
The Miz

Dolph Ziggler
John Morrison


McIntyre
Kingston

Christian
Ziggler


McIntyre
Christian

Winner: Christian

I don't like the pre-planning going into all of this. Wrestling is supposed to be more organic and change with whatever is being presented. This just seems too scripted. Before we never knew what to expect except for traditions like the rumble, kotr, and survivor series. They are going to force feuds into whatever match has already been determined instead of whatever would fit.

So... basically what has already been said.

It probably makes sense from a business standpoint to get the most they can out of the very well recieved MITB gimmick.

Still, I don't like the move creatively, and wish it would remain part of the annual Wrestlemania tradition.

I don't like the idea of MITB becoming a seperate event because it will become open to more established main eventers, rather than the borderline main eventers/uppermidcarders it showcased in the past.
Plus, it was always a great place to get the extra talent on the card, and a guarunteed crowd favorite.

I like how they bring up an idea for a "Tournament-style" PPV, yet refuse to have King Of The Ring as a PPV..... *facepalm

* April 25th: Extreme Rules
* May 23rd: WWE Wild Card
* June 20th: Fatal Four Way
* July 18th: Money In The Bank
* August 15th: Summerslam
* September 19th: Night Of Champions
* October 3rd: Hell in a Cell"

WHAT IN THE FUCK? Wild Card? Fatal 4 Way? MITB? This gimmick PPV crap has gone too far
Wild Card really doesn't sound all that bad for a title. Fatal 4 Way is awful, of course.

So if there's a PPV called Money In The Bank, will there still be the MITB match at WM?

January: Royal Rumble
February: SuperBrawl

April: Backlash
May: Hardcore Heaven
June: King of the Ring
July: The Great American Bash
August: Summerslam
September: Vengeance
October: SmackDown! vs. RAW
November: Survivor Series
December: Starrcade

Just take some of the bigger PPV names the WWE has the rights to. I'd take No Way Out of Elimination Chamber, but if they want a PPV "name," then SuperBrawl's got the history. Backlash I'd keep, because I think that PPV actually does well every year. May can have ECW's "Hardcore Heaven" name, and make that the "Extreme Rules" PPV. June can host the annual King of the Ring tournament, to decide who gets a title shot at Summerslam. Vengeance returns, because I feel that it actually has a lot of history. It could essentially be the "Night of Champions" PPV. SmackDown! vs. RAW sounds silly, but basically take the Bragging Rights concept, and fill it with cross-promotional "dream matches," and the PPV could be huge. It'd also play off the video game well. Starrcade was WCW's WrestleMania, and that being in December would be huge.

Vince won't use names he didn't create unless it serves his immediate needs. The only reason he used "Great American Bash" was the fact that JBL was going over, and patiotism was still running high. Notice that they changed it to just "The Bash" once the product and political climate changed.

Was it just Lockdown? I thought they had called it Lethal Lockdown or something crazy.

Lockdown was the "All Steel Cage Match PPV" with Lethal Lockdown headlining the show.

I really don't like these changes. Completely removes any sense of a fued growing organically (which I think I posted about in another thread) and it feels like they are just completely dumming down the product. One Night Stand or even Hardcore Heaven as Noid suggested aren't blatant enough for us to understand that the PPV will have Extreme Rules.

And like has been said before, having PPVs dedicated to these gimmicks really leaves your bag empty for the big shows. SummerSlam for example can't really feature Fourways, Ladder/TLC, Hell In A Cell, etc.
