This day in Wrestling History
This day 4 years ago saw the end of an era even though it wasn't known at the time but it is known as the last time Cyber Sunday went on ppv. Over a 4 year period this ppv took a unique idea and built a ppv around the idea that the fans chose the stips for every match. For it's four year history Cyber Sunday was always around the same time which was the end of October or early November. The one problem I have heard from numerous people about this ppv is that nobody knew any match so they didn't want to pay for matches they didn't know the stips for. Basically it was unique for a time but it lost it's uniqueness and end up being replaced by Bragging Rights in 2009. The big stories going into this ppv first from RAW were between Jericho vs Batista & Santino vs Past IC Champions; if you don't remember the Santino story he was trying to beat the Honky Tonk Man's record reign as IC champ. The other between Jericho & Batista was over the World title and the things that were picked by the fans were a special ref for the World title & Santino's opponent for the IC Title. Now to Smackdown were their two biggest matches were Big Show vs Undertaker & Triple H vs Jeff Hardy. The stips the fans chose for those matches were Last Man Standing and for the WWE title match it was a Singles Match instead of a Triple Threat. Last but not least ECW, their only feud was between Evan Bourne & Matt Hardy over the ECW World title.
This concept wasn't bad and lasted as long as it could giving us a lot of great memories for those who remember them. Like Flair vs Orton in the Cage, The first show not knowing what to expect, & many other things. Should they bring this PPV back, well short and to the point No one reason because, it isn't need and had it's time also it wouldn't work in this economy because want to know what they are paying for.
