With the launch of the WWE Network, the company will no longer be using the term "pay-per-view" when referring to their monthly events. Instead, WWE will be phasing out "PPV" and calling the shows "Special Events" instead. With each "Special Event" now factored into the price of the WWE Network, and the future of actual television pay-per-view in question, the new direction seems appropriate given that the fans won't actually be paying specifically to watch them. |

| Meh. Special Events sound stupid as well. Scrap the name and just call them "shows." |

| Wasn't "Special Events" the name of one of the first XWA PPVs back in 08? |

| I get why they want to change the name, but "Special Events" isn't doing it for me. I'd prefer an old school term like Supercard over that, or something more original. |

| I think Mega Events would be better. |

| Meh, they need to focus more on giving most of the actual PPVs (or SEs) better names. |

| That's what you think. I remember I've said that about other things that they changed. Eventually you'll start calling them what WWE wants you to call them.  That's what they do.

| I still call Cena's AA the "FU". At least when I talk.
Anyway, PPV isn't WWE exclusive, a lot of wrestling events use it. XWA's big shows are called "PPVs", I'm always gonna call em PPVs. ____________________ . Favorite Current Wrestlers:1. Sasha Banks 2. Becky Lynch 3. 4. 5. Favorite All-Time Wrestlers:Your dad |

| Get why they want to change the name, "Special Events" just sounds shit though. Calling them "supershows" would sound better. |
