So, doing some thinking here, guys.

The British 'Survive & Conquer' PPV will be next, in March. I will also be moving the FallOut match (which is the 40 wrestler Royal Rumble) to the S&C PPV - making it just another match, rather than the PPV namesake like it currently is. It seems to fit better with the theme of the event, having to survive 39 other participants and all. I'll clarify here if I haven't done already anywhere else:
1. When we reach the final two participants, the match will turn into a regular singles match.
2. The FallOut match will be fought by both Gladiators and Amazons, with the winner receiving a title shot at their gender's title, redeemable by the winner for up to one year.

The "NXT Rising Star" (Money In The Bank match) PPV has currently switched-places with S&C, and thus scheduled for April. However it can be moved-around at a later date if needed. It will take place when the new 'rising stars' have been built-up enough into full-fledged characters and the match will have some meaning behind it. The winner of the NXT Rising Star MITB match will to be known as '2012 NXT Rising Star' in the year-end awards. This PPV will also need a new name.

This year is all about reacting to the environment around us. There's no 'rules' on what goes where. With that being said:

The Un-named PPV, which features the NXT Rising Star gimmick has been pushed-back to July. The main reason for that is that the participants in it (the managers and their clients) need time to build up their relationships and get things rolling, if the whole concept does actually end up becomming a reality. If it doesn't, well it'll simply be one less PPV which has a gimmick/special attraction match tied into it, and the annual MITB/MoneyMaker Challenge match will be retired like the Inferno match at Abomination was.

What this means is that Steel City ShowDown moves even earlier into the year and is our new April PPV. And as per the reason it is now positioned early into the year, for the first time ever in I:W history the Elmination Chamber match will not be used in it's 6Man Tag mode to settle a stable war. It will be a regular Chamber match featuring six singles stars; plus any other special cage matches we decide to have like maybe a 6Man Armegeddon Steel Asylum so that the cage matches aren't taking over more than one PPV. Maybe I'll have the Chamber for one gender and the Armegeddon HIAC for the other as a way to use both matches but not create overkill, and next year I'll flip which genders use which type of cage.

Then, in May, we travel to Japan again and do our thing in the land of the rising sun. The PPV won't be especially focused on women, because to give them their own PPV and not do the same for the men would be unfair. But we are operating with the viewpoint that this is a special attraction PPV presented not only by I:W, but also Fuyuki Office once again. So you will likely see things happen here that you won't see happen on US soil. Wink, wink.

Back to the USA in June for I:W AllStars. Talk about the American Dream, this tournament is all about doing whatever it takes to come out on top of the points rankings and reap the rewards. Same as last year's tournament, although there will be a few new ways to win the match and earn points which will be added this year.
