10 WWE Questions You Most Want Answered (Sept 22)
1. Are Shorter PPVs A Good Idea?
On the evidence of Backlash I'd have to say, yes, absolutely.
The first brand-exclusive PPV took a little while to adjust to, with longer matches, fuller stories, and more time devoted to each superstar. The shorter time-slot allowed each bout more of a chance to breathe; on longer shows, it can often feel as though we're rattling through the card without a chance to digest the results as they occur.
Should Clash of Champions also deliver, I don't think we can be in any doubt. Problems remain with regards to WWE's televised product - especially the current inconsistency of Raw - but in terms of pay per views alone, the brand split looks to have been a good idea.
