It certainly is. Quick Google search shows they have individual seasons either at stores like Walmart or sites like eBay and Amazon. Somebody's selling the whole series on Amazon for $250 but I'm sure there's cheaper. Or there's also Amazon Video where the price isn't that bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Web Conn Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 They brought back BackLash and No Mercy why not bring back like the Jusgement Day name and call this Joe vs Lesnar: Judgement Day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take levity over boring every day. I agree with this. Judgement Day, Vengeance, Armageddon, Unforgiven all sucked, and I couldn't tell you where any fell on the calendar without looking it up. That said, it's a shame we don't get names like the Royal Rumble, King of the Ring, Survivor Series, Summerslam anymore. They're catchy and immediately convey the general idea of what they are.

Go2Sleep Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Of course most ppvs are filler since companies adopted the 12-month format, but most of them were pretty consistent time-wise. Judgment Day was in May from 2000-2009, if you can't remember that, you're just not trying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presenting the whole show as a car crash of D Grade horror would have been a fun concept. I'm still waiting for the damned King of the Ring to return. No reason to not run it with the Network now. They could turn it into a 2 day special ala the UK tourney or they could run it over a couple of weeks like the CWC. End it on a Sunday night special with someone having to win 3 matches in one night for a title match at 'Insert PPV here' and it would get some eyeballs for sure. They need to bring King of the Ring back as a dual branded PPV. Have four guys from each brand qualify and have an 8 man tourney on the show among all of them. Or put it on the network over a couple of days to include a few more people from both shows (or maybe one or two from NXT). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 I miss the B level PPV's which had history and you knew the month they take place in. No Way Out in Feb, Backlash in April, Judgment Day in May and No Mercy in Oct as examples. With themed shows, the gimmicks feel forced, I'm particularly thinking of Hell in a Cell. Before the cell was only used once or twice a year to end feuds which merited it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I remembered Backlash was always April. But then you had No Way Out, which was always February...except when it wasn't (St. Valentine's Day Massacre). And I swear there was a Judgement Day in the fall or winter once, and DEFINITELY an Unforgiven in the spring (that was the first Austin-Dude Love match). That name was moved at some point, but not before going on hiatus and taking on some other, generic nu-metal-sounding name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Man, count me in too for naming a WWE PPV after the two guys headlining it. I'm surprised that hasn't happened sooner, but I'm guessing that Vince doesn't want to put the talent over the brand. Even still, it's not like they should do it all of the time, but WWE: Brock vs Samoa Joe is awesome. Nakamura vs Cena. Just totally take a page from UFC and run with that. Couldn't be worse than coming up with all of these other names. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 If there was ever a time to do that that would be it. But if they're not going to name if Brock vs. Joe then I can't see them doing that for anybody. Unless Brock faces a part-timer on a B show then MAYBE they'll consider it.

Wyld Samurai Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I'd like to see them be more Don King/Ali in that The Thrilla in Manilla/Rumble in the Jungle vibe. The UFC model is just boring. They used to do that - Tuesday in Texas is an example. The NWA had The Chi-Town Rumble. Those two shows are memorable. Brock's Japan special at the Buddokan was also great.

BEN! Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 They should send Heyman up to Canada with a green screen and sit Lesnar in front of it for an hour cutting promos on aliens and air one of those a week. "My client Brock Lesnar would like to explain to you all why he's missing Raw again this week." "Well, I wouldn't exactly say I'm missing Raw but as you can all clearly see, I'm up here on the moon. It's nice, quiet, none of you stupid fans around making noise. Little chilly, reminds me of back home in Minnesota during the winter. Just got done defending my Universal Championship against B'andata'nana from Mars. He had four arms. Tried his luck in Suplex City and now they call him One-Armed B'andata'nana from Mars." "Suplex City, Moon t-shirts available right now!" "Going to Saturn next week. Don't know who I'm defending against. Maybe Perry. Don't matter. Whoever it is is taking a trip to Suplex City." "Suplex City, Saturn shirts coming soon!" "Then I'm off to Pluto for a defense against Jojopogobo Bonegun the 3-headed mercenary space dog. After that little warm-up, I'll be headed back to earth for Great Balls Of Fire and The Big Dog Roman Reigns." "Samoa Joe." "I know, Paul." "It's a different guy." "Nobody is ever the same after taking a trip to Suplex City and Roman Reigns bought a one-way ticket at Great Balls Of Fire!" "Goodness gracious." 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
