Bragging Rights Is No More

From F4W:
The WWE announced at the show tonight in San Antonio that they would be coming back on October 23 for a PPV called Uprising. The late October PPV had been called Bragging Rights with the theme of a Raw vs. Smackdown main event. The concept had been weak the year before, but dropped off 32% the second time because it came the day after the Brock Lesnar vs. Cain Velasquez fight.

so what do everyone think will be done on this PPV. Prehaps a card giving the Lower/mid wrestlers a chance to shine
and
what will be done with the bragging rights trophy. A match at Survivor Series? as it was basically a traditional SS match anyway

Uprising by Muse has to be the theme tune for this!

I quite like the name, and hopefully you are right, hopefully it will be a PPV where midcarders have a chance of a title shot.

I can't believe they're getting rid of the Grandaddy of 'Em All, the Showcase of the Immortals - Bragging Rights!

Who can forget such great Bragging Rights moments as......uh.......erm.......hmmm.

Anyway, we now have a new favourite B-level pay per view to love for all of 12 months before the name gets changed again. I like your idea tooze of giving lower level guys a chance in the spotlight. Maybe they could make the Breakthrough Battle Royal an annual thing and the winners on RAW and Smackdown get a shot at the respective World titles at Uprising?

I like the name of it but was there a need to get rid of Bragging Rights? How old is Bragging Rights? Isn't it one of the older PPV's?

Thats what i would like to see. There are great matches on superstars that not many people see now its not shown on american tv and give them a chance to show there skills on a big stage

miky its been only been a PPV for 2 years

See, theres my knowledge of Wrestling right there! 2 years!

it could work as one of the matches on Survivor eries though as it was only a classic survivpr series match at the end of the day

Miky, when is tthe next KOTR round?

Miky, when is the next KOTR round?

They did a Raw vs Smackdown match in 2005 if i recall the same night the Undertaker came back.

Uprising has the potenial to be a good ppv but as we all know WWE do sometimes screw stuff up.

Thank God they're getting rid of that, what a waste of a PPV, there is no built up rivalry between RAW & SD! and a short 3 week storyline never makes it look any better, with how weak SD is this year they probably realised they couldn't even make an idiot believe SD would win

I like the new name though!

I felt the RAW Draft show was a mini Bragging Rights with all the Raw vs. Smackdown matches. So, I think its a good thing that Bragging Rights is gone.

On the other hand, Im not too enthused about the sound of Uprising.

Jammy thats always like that on the draft night

Well shows how much I know hahaha...Ive never watched a draft night before...Sorry

No need to apologise mate, if the WWE did a better job in keeping the brands seperate then the whole thing would be much more intresting

Glad they have dropped the PPV, was pointless due to the fact there isnt actually a rivalry between the to brands, howeever i aint keen on the new name.

Well, I always found it strange how one week, the superstars on Raw are feuding between each other, then a week later are joining together to beat people they havent seen in a year or more!
