Love ’em, but Vince (in the screenshot above) and Gene (from the video) are not looking great on camera.
Does anyone recall why they got rid of the double feature PPV sets? That’s slipping my mind for some reason. With Evolution and the Australia show coming to DVD, this year’s amount of events seems to be close to last year’s. Did the numerical amount have something to do with it?
The reason for the double feature PPV sets was because RAW and SD had their separate PPVs so they had the RAW and SD events in 1 set. Now that all PPVs are co-branded WWE stopped double feature sets from Backlash on wards.
They were doing those because of the single brand ppv’s. Now that they have duel brand ppv’s every month, they are back to releasing the ppv’s every month.
2 reasons why they stopped. The first is when they did the new brand split in the summer of 2016, they started doing 2 PPVs a month. They were at 16 PPVs a year, so it made sense to do the double feature sets. Then this year they cut back on PPVs by eliminating Payback, Great Balls Of Fire, Battleground, No Mercy and Clash Of Champions. They also added Greatest Royal Rumble and Evolution, so they’re down to 14 PPVs a year.
The second reason is because regular PPVs expanded to 3 & 1/2 – 4 hours this year, meaning all individual PPVs needed to have 2 discs to fit the whole show. If they still did double feature sets, they would have to be 4 disc sets and WWE doesn’t do 4 disc sets.
