The WWE has had a PPV every single month this year and the question that comes to mind is do they mean anything anymore? This upcoming PPV Judgment Day had very poor hype that it's not going to have people wanting to buy an event that has no need to. Much like Backlash seems like a Wrestlemania rematch show, this one is more of a rushed out event with no hype and having one major rematch and two bouts coming out of the Fatal Four Way for the WWE Title. By my analysis, there really isn't a lot of thought put into the event.
I've seen many shows over the years and back then the PPVs were hyped up and you had more of a reason to watch than what you see today. If you miss the match the first time around, don't worry as you can get a chance to see it on the next event. I can understand long-term booking but how many times do you have to do a certain match before it wears out its welcome. It wouldn't be the first time as it has happened with other feuds. A good example would be the feud with Punk and Morrison where it seemed like the whole plan would be for Morrison to make Punk look like a loser and would never obtain the championship. I hate to say this but the reason CM Punk got the title was because of John Morrison getting suspended.
Now, the current feud that seems to now wanting to drag would be Undertaker and Edge. Now, don't get me wrong the match ups have been pretty solid and enjoyable but if it continues to be the monthly Main Event, it's going to wear out its welcome and quite honestly won't be as appealing as it once was earlier in the year. It happened when Batista was facing off with Undertaker and for that matter challenging for the World Title on a monthly basis pretty much last year when he lost the gold.
Anyhow, we got Judgment Day coming up and is this PPV going to be good or is it going to be horrible? That is in the eye of the beholder. The events have lost all meaning and just don't seem to put up enough effort to get anyone to watch it. Personally, I don't think it's worth $40 but that's just me. That doesn't mean the event will be horrible but it's just not worth the money considering that there is a PPV and you need to give people a reason to buy it.
Maybe there should be less PPVs but that's not likely and if anything, there's more likely of an increase in the amount of events being added to the calendar if I had to venture off and guess. Though it's not going to happen as far as an increase of PPVs, you would have to think that would be the most likely option. All I can say if you're going to have a PPV with a price about $40, it better be worth it otherwise it will feel like a waste of money. In conclusion, have WWE PPVs lost their meaning, well you make the call.
