Morrison is the hardest working wrestler in the WWE right now, next to Punk. And yet, the PPV has time for another DX match and Kane vs. Kahli, but no spot for him!?

I was shocked he wasn't on the Summerslam card, the way they'd booked him the month before - but this is even more confusing. And they wonder why they've been having a hard time building up new stars...

Indeed this is a huge upset. WWE needs to get it together because this ppv was already looking pretty bad. Now they remove the best (and only good) match of the night? I seriously can not for the life of me figure out why they would choose Kane/Khali or Regal/Christian for that matter over what could have been an epic, show-stealing (and show-saving) IC title match. With this disappointing move I really have to question not only Vince's business sense but his sanity.

I have ordered 14 consecutive ppvs, the last one I missed was NOC'08. But the time has come for me to break my streak. I am offically boycotting this disgrace of a ppv.

RESPONSE FROM KE: So in other words, you have reached your breaking point. Couldn't resist.

I don't get this at all. They've been building Ziggler, Morrison and the Intercontinental Title. It's a match that clearly would provide some quality wrestling. Why wouldn't you put that on PPV?

Are they really worried about time? I guess you can't bump the ECW match, due to the way the did it last time. Are they worried about hurting buy rates in India by bumping Khali?

I wonder if there is more to the story.

Sometimes I wonder if Vince truly hates Smackdown...

Kane and Khali? REALLY?!

Yeah they are much better than Ziggler and Morrison. (is there a sarcasm font?)

(Do you think this has something to do with Rey Mysterio and the steroid suspensions of Dolph and JoMo?)

I don't think it's all bad. With only one SmackDown show left, there has to be a confrontation between Morrison and Ziggler - but who's gonna get the upper hand going into Breaking Point? If it was Morrison, Ziggler would have zero momentum going into Breaking Point; if it was Ziggler, Morrison's epic match with Mysterio last week is kinda cheapened...

Whew. The first two comments pretty much cover it. Morrison has had five-star matches with Edge, Punk, Jeff Hardy, and Mysterio, yet his match is the one that gets pulled? The WWE bigwigs must think that their fan base doesn't appreciate good wrestling. Actually, considering the fact that Raw always outdraws Smackdown by a mile, I wonder if they may be right.

I can understand having Christian/Regal instead of Morrison/Ziggler. The fact of the matter is that Christain and Regal are headlining a brand, not to mention that they're both amazing wrestlers. My problem is that Kane/Kahli gets on the card. Does anybody in world care to see that train wreck again? I wonder what goes through McMahons mind sometimes, this decision just seems idiotic to me.

Is there a way all the WWE fans can let Vince McMahon and the powers that be know how unhappy we all are at the omission of this match?

Do you think the WWE could use this to fuel a heel turn. The fact that John Morrison has 2 wins over the world heavyweight champion, he defeated another former heavyweight champion to win the IC belt. Yet he can't get on a PPV? He could basically say, all the pandering for the fans has gotten him no where.

Kevin, your response to Anthony was classic! Thank you for not resisting..

As for the Morrison/Ziggler feud, I hope that WWE is going to ease into a little better. This was just thrown together, and if Ziggler were going over, then a short-reign could make Morrison look weak. Likewise, if Ziggler lost an IC title in three consecutive PPV's, then he could look weak.

In other words, the stakes of the match were rather high to just see what happens. I hope this removal is a reflection of WWE wanting better for the feud.

I could see this being an issue of needing more time to figure out what to do.

If Mysterio were still champion, I'd say without-a-doubt, Ziggler would be winning the title.

But what about Morrison? Do they want to keep Morrison strong and give him a decent title reign, or do they want to continue where they were going and give the belt to Ziggler, thereby making Morrison a transitional champ.

Ziggler can't afford a third straight PPV IC title match loss and Morrison can't afford to have a weak title reign.

As much as I'd like to see them go at it in a submission match... I wonder if part of it is that they couldn't figure out how to book it?

If they have Ziggler win the title - that gives Morrison a title reign of barely over a week - kinda kills the momentum of his push it seems.

If they have Morrison win - that's 3 consecutive losses at PPVs for Ziggler - also kinda messes with his push.

I dunno, I just can't see a good way to end a match between them so soon after Morrison picking up the title.

I would tend to agree with this decision. I don't think the Shaman's nor Ziggy's style lends well to a submission stipulation match anyway.

Actually, if done correctly, the Regal/Christian match could steal the show. Regal's better than most give him credit for...and I'd rather see the right match from them than yet another predictable match from the others.

I don't understand this decision at all. They've seemingly been working on elevating the Intercontinental Title by having it around the waists of Chris Jericho and Rey Mysterio, yet they deem it unworthy for a PPV.

I just wonder if Mysterio hadn't been suspended whether the IC match would still be off the card.

Puzzling and upsetting...was really looking forward to this one on a PPV.

I guess whatever kudos they got for the quick decision to have the title change hands last week is hurt by this move. It's hard for me to believe they couldn't find a way to fit it into the program and at least give the two a chance to perform on the PPV.

This could be a blessing in disguise..Morrison just won the title and it would look bad if he lost it right away and if Ziggler loses he would lose some credibility and would look bad for not winning after 3 chances..Just wait a little longer and let the anticipation build

Call me crazy, but I think it's the right call. We're going into a PPV full of submission matches and neither guy is a submission wrestler.

Besides that, Morrison & Ziggler haven't had enough time to build up a rivalry that would sell a potential show-stealing PPV match. It's not either guy's fault; the timing of Mysterio's suspension and Morrison getting the IC title just didn't leave enough time for a proper build. But WWE may be doing the right thing here: let the heat build until the next PPV and let the two have a match that caters to their strengths better than a submission match.

That sucks for both of their wallets.

Should they rename the PPV "Missing the Point"?. Hey Kev- you started

I'm confused about breaking point ... they started saying all the matches were submission matches — then I here about an I Quit match and a cane match; what did I miss? I also don't believe that Cena will be uttering I Quit or the Undertaker will be submitting ... so what's the point of this pay per view?

RESPONSE FROM KE: Only the "main event matches" are submisson matches.

Dude REACHED YOUR BREAKING POINT that was funny

Some posters here have made a valid point about how the match would have damaged either Morrison or Ziggler had it taken place, but I say that had WWE put its mind to it, the writers could come up with a solution. Drew McIntyre could have run into the ring and attacked both of them in order to make a statement, thus making the match a no-contest. Surely, something could have been planned in order to give the fans some good action.

@Tank
In India, there is no concept of pay per view. We get to see it free on air after three weeks which totally screws up continuity. However I do not think any Indian enjoys Khali disgracing himself on the ring. If anyone thinks the viewership in India is the reason for Khali's continuos push, I apologize profusely.

Is Morrison having any problemswith admin considering he is losing out on PPV bonuses? Could be that Kane and Khali come cheaper than him and paying them forPPV performanceis far less taxing on the WWE's balance sheet.

"Morrison has had five-star matches with Edge, Punk, Jeff Hardy, and Mysterio, yet his match is the one that gets pulled?"

Come on. 5-star matches? He's had 3 1/2-star, maaaybe 4-star matches with them. The truth's good enough without lumping his matches in with all-time greats, which destroys the statement's credibility.

While I agree that leaving Morrison off in favor of Khali/Kane is stupid, what are you gonna do? You have to accept that these silly big-man matches are gonna continue.

Also, I think the way they're handling Morrison is fine. He's my second-favorite wrestler in the whole company right now behind CM Punk but he isn't quite ready for the main event. It's kind of crazy that he's been left off so many consecutive PPVs, yes.

But the flipside is they leave fans wanting more from him instead of overexposing him. Slow burns are much better unless a guy is so incredibly good/over that they have no choice to shoot them to the top quickly(Angle, Rock, Lesnar, etc).

Look at how long it took Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. Hell, even Austin wasn't shot straight to the main event when the Stone Cold character took off. Of more recent vintage, Edge and Jeff Hardy. Wouldn't you say it worked out for the best not skyrocketing those guys straight to the top immediately, rather letting it build? Hell, even Cena's rapper character, after an initial monster push, was scaled back and when they pushed him for real, they took their time with it and did it right.

If you're a fan of John Morrison, trust me: you should be happy they aren't blowing their load with him. I'm pretty sure they know they have something special and they're gonna make sure they do it right with him.

RESPONSE FROM KE: Very good points.

Easily would have been the best match on the PPV. This is absurd.

Forget the whole IC Title mess did the US title just vanish into thin air lately?

what the hell was the deal with undertaker vs cm punk match.
