I've been feeling for the past 2 years PPVs have lost their hype, including Wrestlemania. And ever since WWE went pg, PPVs at this point at times get less hype then weekly shows. WWE really needs to find either a REALLY blockbuster Main Event to come up with, or a new match type, or maybe STOP BRINGING BACK GUYS ON WEEKLY SHOWS AND DO IT AT A PAYPERVIEW. Either that or bring back a star the week of the payperview, and then have them challenge a maineventer at the ppv. Idk im just ranting but what do you guys think? have pay per views lost their hype?

I think that are just too many PPV's with little time for build up. Which is why they seem really dull lately.

I would say, because when I was waiting for Wrestlemania I was not all pumped like I am usually for Wrestlemania. And it turned out that it was what I expected, pretty much crap. I liked Hardy vs Hardy, and Taker vs Michaels. Other than that the show was really plain and diddn't have that Wrestlemania feel.
And for the normal shows, I feel a little hyped up for Smackdown, but not the other shows. But before the PG, and even a month after the WWE was really good imo, I was all hyped up for RAW, ECW, and Smackdown. But then when the 2008 Draft happend, that is when everything started to calm down and get less enjoyable.

Yes, its the fact that the WWE either makes a fued in three weeks and presents it in a way we couldn't care about it, since it doesn't seem important at all or they smash it down our throats with little depth and with predictable endings (HHH/Orton). They need to cut down pay-per-views, eliminate one of the brands, make more intricate storylines rather than "I hate you! lets fight" or just make the matches seem important by promoting more on website, shows, etc. with promos and such rather than "HHH returns, beats Orton up, loses fatal fourway, wins battle royal, fight again".

Only Wrestlemania, Royal Rumble and Summerslam are the ones with the most hype. The rest are a little ... dull.

Yes, especially this year. Wrestlemania had great build-up, but then every PPV that followed it didn't really have much build-up at all. Backlash, Judgement Day, Extreme Rules, and now The Bash haven't really had much time at all to build up anything on the card.
They should atleast put 4 weeks between every PPV, 3 is a little too soon.

Absolutely, but it shouldn't be blamed on going PG. It should be blamed on rehashed feuds, recycled storylines, an over-abundance of Pay-Per-Views in general, and a laziness among the WWE creative staff.

Yes. Too many PPVs, and they give away too many big matches on tv.

This isn't the competitive WWF vs WCW era. They should cut the yearly PPVs in half, have one every other month.

It's crazy that we used to buy 2 ppvs a month during the WCW/WWF War but now only buy 4 a year.

they have lost their hype because there are too many of them, there should only be 10-12 PPVs a year, thats it.
January - Royal Rumble March/April - Wrestlemania April - Backlash May - Judgment Day June - Night of Champions or Extreme Rules (which ever) July - Bash August - Summerslam September - Fall Brawl War Games October - No Mercy November - Survivor Series December - Armageddon
Thats how it should be, 11 PPVs, thats it. No PPV in February, usually the lowest buyrate of the year because its right in between Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania. Keep February to build up Wrestlemania. They should have like a Saturday Nights Main Event in February only to build up Wrestlemania like back in the days.

As leafs911 had in his post, I don't think that No Way Out is really necessary. The Royal Rumble winner basically chooses his opponent the following night, so we have a start of a feud right there. Putting that champion in a match at NWO means that they are holding off for the RR winner, giving another guy(s) a chance for the title, when the RR winner beat 29 other guys for the title match. He should have all that build up from Royal Rumble to WrestleMania, no in between feuds.

You cant build excitement with only 3 weeks of build up.

Too many PPV's one every one or two months would be ok.
