I was getting ready to say I don’t remember a HITC since Seth/Cody.

iirc Hunter said he wanted to cut back on the gimmick PPVs and I think he’s done a decent job on it.

You gotta keep WarGames but everything else can go. Especially Extreme Rules

The only one that stays is Royal Rumble to me as it is used to build for Mania. WarGames doesn't even have to be the November PLE you can do it when you have 2 stables feuding and it needs a feud-ender.

I wouldn’t mind Survivor Series going back to the traditional 5 on 5 elimination matches. I think they did it in 2021 but haven’t since then. I’d even take it as brand warfare again even though I’m probably in the minority that likes that angle, but I get why it’s not everyone’s favorite.

I be fine with brand warfare, if they wasn’t changing brands every single year tbh. Make the draft like an every 4-5 year deal, and then it makes sense imo.

I'd take it this year for sure given how awesome Pearce & Aldis have been

Brand warfare is fine. If it meant anything literally the week before or the week after the show. But I was at Survivor Series 2021. It was pointless and as such not a fun show.

And I think Survivor Series Wargames should be the 2 WarGames matches and 2 Elimination Tag matches.

Nobody swapping brands for 4-5 years is crazy. The rosters would be beyond stale.

If they’re gonna do Brand Warfare, they need to include NXT.

Survivor Series 2019 set the table for Keith Lee to be very successful.

Maybe that is a little to long but every year to me ruins any brand warfare. Like just seems weird to me that you could be fighting for Smackdown one year, Raw the next, then back to Smackdown. How can you show brand loyalty when you change all the time

 

[Barry Poppins]

Honestly brand warfare could work especially if it comes down to a pissing contest between Pearce and Aldis lol

 

[Dale]

Just a bit too long, that's pretty much like someones whole ass contract spent on one brand

Well maybe make a suggestion then instead of shitting on my idea

the real thing is instead of them drafting the entire rosters every year, they should only draft like 10 people. 6 or 7 from the other brand and a few from NXT. But both brands can protect people from drafting.

Create stories about it instead of just having the entire show drafted every year. Also I'd actually make the draft a PLE or special of sort instead of making it an episode of Raw and/or Smackdown.

Less than 4-5 years

 

[Cwalker]

This year brand warfare would make perfect sense because like Dale said, Pearce and Aldis have been in a dick measuring contest since day 1.

I still would want the match to have stakes tho. Winning brand gets the #30 pick.

i mean lowest I think works is 3. Like even 2 seems to quick for my liking. I mean you had some folks staying on the same brand back in the mid 2000s for awhile. I just want to believe someone actually cares about their brand tbh. Which was hard to do when they was doing the brand warfare stuff. Like champion vs champion works because I see that more as wanting to prove you’re the better champion.
