[Miss HHH]

Only 12.

Definitely a step in the right direction. There's just hardly anytime for a proper build anymore so I'm glad they've cut back.

[chicagokenny416]

I'm ready for TBD in Chicago oh yeah!

[Falcone]

TBD? Just make it Fully Loaded.

[godAM]

King of the Ring!

[merle]

TBD is awesome. Without a doubt it is my favourite PPV of the year. Better than Wrestlemania!

[The Champ]

Is it just me, or is the June pay-per-view ALWAYS different?

Also, big space between WrestleMania and Extreme Rules. I'm not sure that ER needs that much buildup, but hopefully it means they have big plans for it.

[NickF]

Yes! SS in Boston. Cant wait!

[Bird Kid]

That'd be pretty awesome if its KOTR.

[Heteroflexible]

Excluding Mania which gets more build up than any other PPV, what is with the PPV's towards to the end of the year there are only ever about 3 weeks between them.

[Todd]

The schedule has been really random like that for years. I don't know why they have three weeks of build to HiaC and six weeks to Extreme Rules. They should balance it out better.

They're back down to twelve though which is good.

Just a quick question for our American posters, when do Americans tend to get paid?

[Djm]

Night of Champions is right around my birthday.

Hmmm....

And to answer your question Todd, usually bi-weekly or weekly.

[RT]

And yet another year with no PPVs in Canada. Wonder if we'll even get RAW this year.

[The Champ]

Also, just noticed that SummerSlam is confirmed for LA again. Damn, there were rumors that it could come to the Garden this year, although I guess I shouldn't get greedy since we're already getting Mania.

[Jay Stevens]

TBD: Tables, Barbed Wire, & Divas!

[Todd]

And to answer your question Todd, usually bi-weekly or weekly.

I see.

We mostly get paid monthly at the end of the month so I always wondered why wrestling promotions didn't book every PPV at the end of the month. But obviously that isn't the case in the States.

[SM]

Yes, I will have to go to Extreme Rules. I love how almost every year they have a PPV in St. Louis.

[Ice]

Nothing in Sacramento again this year. Nothing since The Bash in 09. I guess it's not a big deal, we get SD and Raw pretty frequently.


I thought there would be far more speculation for King of the Ring being the June show in here. I think they'd be better off making it a new PPV. Not a gimmick one, just a new one. I would love that personally.

[Darkmania]

And yet another year with no PPVs in Canada. Wonder if we'll even get RAW this year.

I was just going to post the samething RT. Most likely we will get an untelevised house show featuring the Smackdown roster....

[Bender]

Night of Champions is about he closest PPV for me. I have made the drive to Toledo for wrestling before, so... maybe?

[BigRed]

Also, just noticed that SummerSlam is confirmed for LA again. Damn, there were rumors that it could come to the Garden this year, although I guess I shouldn't get greedy since we're already getting Mania.

Ugh, why do they always have to go to LA now for SummerSlam? Personally, I don't find the LA crowds to be all that great compared to other cities.

[Big Stan]

Damn, still no Halloween Havoc. And this would have been the perfect year for it too.

[PB]

I don't know why I love Summer Slam being in L.A. every year...but I really do. Glad they're keeping that up.

[Ice]

Ugh, why do they always have to go to LA now for SummerSlam? Personally, I don't find the LA crowds to be all that great compared to other cities.

You're right, the crowds do suck.

But I think being in LA is helping them make it the second biggest show, the way they want it to be. And for most people in California it's a pretty reasonable trip. Only six hours by car for me, plus if you've got the money there's other things to do. I think it's a smart move.

[Justin Valuable]

One thing that sticks out is all the PPV sites are in big cities. For the TBD PPV I'd like to think it will be King of the Ring, however the very next PPV is Money in the Bank. It's not a good idea to have back-to-back PPVs where the theme is building a new star.
