It can always change obviously, but I'd much rather dump HIAC and put Bragging Rights there and keep TLC.

Maybe the brand extension will matter again in December......
I'm the same when it comes to HIAC. Bragging Rights might not necessarily have anything to do with the brand extension though. It could just be a name without a gimmick like the PPV's of the past. Personally, I'd prefer it if it was. The same thought goes for Breaking Point. I've always thought that would be a good PPV name itself and it wouldn't need a gimmick attached to it.

Fatal Four Way on the other hand, might just be in place to fill a hole until another or better PPV is thought of. That's just a thought I have though. It just seems like nothing can successfully fill the June slot like King of the Ring and Vengeance did. If the WWE don't want to bring back KotR as a PPV, then why not just give Vengeance it's June slot back?

But I think the PPV calendar is ok, and HIAC must be proving to be successful, otherwise the WWE wouldn't be so set on keeping it in the October slot, but I think the calendar just needs less gimmick PPV's. I don't know about anyone else, but having gimmick PPV's sortof eliminates the element of surprise for big time PPV matches. For example, if two guys are feuding around October, then you just know they're going to have a Hell in a Cell match.

And last month, we had Orton and Barrett on SmackDown having a Beat The Clock Challenge, and the winner got to choose the stipulation for their match at TLC. Seeing as it was pretty much the last match to be made for the PPV, and a Chairs Match, Ladder Match and a TLC Match had already been made by that time, it was blatantly obvious that it was going to be a Tables Match.

I'm not a business man but I think the WWE just need to tone down how many gimmick PPV's they have. Right now, apart from the "Big Four", 7/8 PPV's have some sort of gimmick attached to it.
