Heres the line up: * WWE Championship: Contestants are TBA * Punjabi Prison match for the World Heavyweight Championship: Batista © vs. The Great Khali * Triple H vs. UMAGA~! * ECW Championship: CM Punk © vs. Big Daddy V (w/Matt Striker) * Finlay vs. Rey Mysterio * WWE Women's Championship: Candice Michelle © vs. Beth Phoenix * WWE Tag Team Championship: MVP & Matt Hardy vs. B.O.D Im interested to see the WWE title match - but its not worth me forking out $30 to see - although I will regret it if Jeff does indeed win the title. <_< :angry: Rest of the card is meh. HHH will win. Batista will win. CM Punk will win Finlay vs mysterio takes my interest - but not enough. The return of Jericho might happen, but how bummed would you be if you ordered the PPV and he didnt......????? |

No. Jericho may return, but don’t count on it. For a promoter, the idea is to let the people know in advance about such a return for the sole purpose of maximising the number of buys…. If WWE haven’t advertised Jericho for No Mercy, it isn’t because they want to surprise us, but because he ain’t coming back - or because they don’t give a fuck about him. I could be wrong, but I don’t see WWE sacrificing buys in favour of making the crowd have a bigger mark-out moment. As for the rest of the card - it looks okay, but it ain’t worth £15. |

No. I might have, but BOD vs. MVP/Hardy being chucked up there without any build is kind of annoying, and Punk vs. Vis is downright disturbing given how over Dreamer has gotten with the WWE crowd and how keen the writers are to do the Rocky thing. Dreamer would have been a much better candidate than Flair, in that Dreamer wouldn't bitch about losing. Now the ECW Title takes the Women's Championship's spot as piss break. Fantastic. Oh, and the main event will be mass faggotry. |

Nope. Then again, I haven't ordered a PPV since Wrestlemania, but I've been getting more spending money lately and if the card would have looked better I might have considered it. WWE's booking has bothered me lately. Summerslam and Unforgiven have been quite disappointing, and No Mercy looks like it was just thrown together for the sake of having a PPV. WWE title match is screwed, and I won't blame them on this, but shouldn't they be annoucing the participants for such a big match like this before it happens? I know there's still a few days before the PPV, but they should try and get it out as soon as they can. World title match is going to be shit, but as a little kid I'd be thrilled to be seeing something like this. I'll probably give it a download just to have a good laugh anyway. ECW title match is gonna be shit... I can understand that WWE like the babyface vs. monster type of match, but Dreamer getting fucked again while being this over with the crowd is pretty gay. Women's title match is meh. For a women's match it might be good, but I've never really cared about women's matches anyway... Triple H vs. UMAGA~! could be good if they let UMAGA~! still look like a monster, and stop Triple H from looking undefeatable. I didn't really like UMAGA~!, but I've grown to love the wild looking samoan, which is why I wish they'd have booked him in a better way. Rey Mysterio vs. Finlay could be a MOTY if booked correctly, so I'm really hoping the WWE gives them at least 15 minutes and a proper finish. MVP & Matt Hardy vs. The Brothers of Destruction could have very entertaining feud, but they're annoucing it on the last Smackdown! before the PPV. Here's hoping they at least continue it until Cyber Sunday perhaps? Overall, it's probably worth about $10. I'd really wish the WWE would take a bit more time with building up feuds, and doing it in an entertaing manner as well. MVP vs. Matt Hardy is probably the most entertaining feud at the moment, and it's only for the US title. Aw well, here's hoping that the returns of Michaels and Edge will at least make up for some better wrestling and more things to look forward to on regular tv. |

I am not gonna order, but I'm going to watch it live at least. Last time I ordered something, it was the Rumble. So, all in all, I will be watching the PPV, just not spending my cash. |

They seriously need to reduce the number of pay-per-view events. If they merged One Night Stand with Vengeance (or Vengeance with The Great American Bash), Unforgiven with No Mercy and dropped New Years Revolution and December 2 Dismember, it could have such a positive impact on the WWE product. Storylines would benefit from having more time to develop. Right now, superstars are being booked into feuds that have no appeal. We can criticise the writing team, but how can you build a truly engaging feud over a period of three weeks, or less? Cards will be stronger. Take Vengeance and One Night Stand, for example; they both had something to offer, but neither card was a “must see”. If WWE had merged the two and presented a card that included CM Punk vs. Chris Benoit (Vengeance), The Hardy’s vs. Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin (Ladder Match, One Night Stand), Edge vs. Batista (Steel Cage Match, One Night Stand) and the WWE Championship Challenge (Vengeance), it suddenly looks a lot more appealing. The rest of the matches that would’ve occurred on pay-per-view could now occur on television, no doubt leading to an increase in ratings… The extended build-up to storylines and feuds will obviously improve pay-per-view buyrates. I doubt a combined Unforgiven/No Mercy buyrate would outdraw the buyrate that each show would draw individually, but the company would stand to save a fortune on expenses – advertising, renting a venue, hiring a crew, accommodation, paying a fee to the pay-per-view network. It would probably balance itself out, especially with the gain made from increased television ratings. In my opinion, this would do more to improve WWE than anything else. |

Of course I am. I'm a luckless WWE fanboy with nothing else to squander his cash on. Oh, and for anyone in Britain, Sky are offering a deal were, if you pay ahead, you get three PPVs for the price of two. |

I know that's not necessarily a good thing, but you're not alone Tietam. Finlay vs. Rey Rey & the WWE Tag Team Championship match have peaked my interest. That, and I want to find out just whom is going to end up being the the new WWE title holder . . . |

I might stream if I can but I'm definatly no ordering. Given how the last two PPVs turned out, there's nothing to tempt me here. I agree Nathan, they need to go back to 12 PPVs a year maximum. That would certainly increase buyrates, maybe even ratings, but I don't see them doing it. |

Sounds depressingly desperate. And I'll stay up until 1am, attempt a stream and work it from there. It's not as if I've any way to order it, and I doubt any of the bars in the area are going to put on a Wrestling event after midnight. That being said, this is Kent, don't cha know. |

If Val's on the WWE match I'll order it, buy the poster, PPV theme CD, DVD, VHS and Super8 when they come out. I usually stick around for free streams, but I've got to get the bus about 2 hours after the PPV ends, so I probably won't be watching many this year. The possibility of a Val cameo can change things though... |

Not a terrible card but doesn't seem like a PPV that has to happen, it just seems there. I'm hoping they'll do something big with the WWE title match. I'm not holding my nuts over HBK or Jericho returning, but with HHH and UMAGA~!~!~!~! having a match, Kennedy being a heel and therefore logically not going to face Orton, I'm hoping they'll surprise us in some way. The Punjabi Prison match will be hilarious. They think they got boring chants at Summerslam, WWE have really set themselves up for this. This seems like one of the crappy gimmick matches that TNA does. At the very least it'll be somewhat entertaining, but I'm not holding my breath. Rey Mysterio vs. Finlay, while not taking away what the match quality could be, is a pointless thrown together feud and match. What is Finlay's reason to be feuding with Rey? And why is Rey feuding with different heels every PPV? I'm hoping it'll still be a good match, but WWE will surely fuck with this match in some way. Triple H vs. UMAGA~!~!~!~!~!, I think could either be really good or really bad. For anyone who says it's gunna be another glorified squash, well, you're stupid. I for one see this match being somewhat overbooked. The ECW title match we all know is gunna be shit. I seriously thought Dreamer was gunna be Punk's opponent. Swerve much. I don't really have anything else to say about this match, because it fails on all levels. MVP/Matt Hardy vs. BOD is a kinda interesting match up. Had it had some sort of build up, I'd actually be looking forward to it more. I'm hoping it isn't going to be a squash, but I do see the titles switching hands. The Women's title match could be okay for a women's match, nothing memorable. |

Yes I am. However that's mostly due to the possible hilarious visual of CM Punk attempting to hit a GTS on Big Daddy V. |

I would pay for the fucking PPV just to see that, only to have Big Daddy V topple on Punk and break every bone in his body. |
