WWE has officially dropped their Breaking Point concept pay-per-view. The show only did 169,000 buys last September which was by far the lowest buy rate of any pay-per-view in the third quarter of 2009 as SummerSlam did 369,000 buys and The Bash did 267,000 buys. WWE announced a new pay-per-view schedule after Wrestlemania which also eliminated the concept pay-per-view that was going to be called Wild Card.

John's Thoughts: Thank God. The PPV was solely for wrestlers to create new submissions and test them out and most wrestlers would use a submission for this show then suddenly forget about it. Submissions aren't used much in the WWE now and it's a shame because ages ago submission moves used to be a way to end a match (Benoit with the crossface is one; I remember the announcers screaming because he had the move locked in and there was NO WAY that anyone would escape it).
