The WWE Armageddon logo circa 2008

Armageddon was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event, produced every December (with the exception of 2001, where the event was replaced with Vengeance) by WWE, a professional wrestling promotion based in Connecticut. The event was created in 1999, with its inaugural event taking place on December 12, 1999 at the National Car Rental Center in Sunrise, Florida. To coincide with the brand extension, the event was made exclusive to the SmackDown brand in 2004 (with the exception of 2003, when the event was made exclusive to the Raw brand). In 2007, to follow the format of WrestleMania, all PPV events became tri-branded. The final event was held in 2008, with TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs replacing Armageddon in 2009.^[1]

History [link]

Armageddon was a pay-per-view (PPV) event consisting of a main event and undercard that featured championship matches and other various matches. The first Armageddon event took place on December 12, 1999 at the National Car Rental Center and aired live on PPV. The event was replaced by Vengeance in 2001 due to the September 11 attacks; WWE felt that the name of the event would offend victims of the attacks.

In 2002, WWF was court ordered to change their name, which resulted in the promotion changing its name to WWE.^[2] Later that year, WWE held a draft that split its roster into two distinctive brands of wrestling, Raw and SmackDown,^[3] and ECW in 2006.^[4] Before the draft, matches featured wrestlers from the roster without any limitations; after the draft, matches only consisted of wrestlers from their distinctive brands. The first Armageddon event to be produced under the WWE banner and with roster limitations was Armageddon (2002), which took place on December 15, 2002. The following year, WWE announced that PPV events, excluding WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Survivor Series, and the Royal Rumble, would be made exclusive to each brand; Armageddon was made exclusive to the SmackDown brand (the event was however made exclusive to Raw in 2003 before soon changing to SmackDown). After three years of being produced as a brand exclusive event, Armageddon (2006) was the final Armageddon event that was brand exclusive, as WWE announced that PPV events from then on would feature all three brands of WWE.^[5]

Armageddon (Prism album)

Armageddon is the third studio album and fourth album overall by Canadian rock band Prism. It was released in 1979 on Canadian record label GRT. It achieved double platinum status in Canada (in excess of 200,000 units sold).

Armageddon is notable for several reasons. Bruce Fairbairn received the Canadian music industry 1980 Juno Award for Producer of the Year for the album. Band leader and guitarist-songwriter Lindsay Mitchell received the SOCAN Song of the Year award for "Night to Remember". It is the band's best selling album. Despite all the commercial success, the band's record label, GRT Records, filed for bankruptcy in the same year of the album's release. The album is also notable for the songwriting contributions by Bryan Adams.

Background

Armageddon was crucial in Prism's commercial development. The band had already released two successful albums, both reaching platinum status in Canada (100,000+ units sold.) But they had yet to break into the US in a significant way and were only an opening act on the Canadian arena rock tour. Armageddon was expected to be their breakout album, elevating the band to international success and a concert headline act. The first and biggest obstacle the band faced was a lack of songwriting within the lineup. Jim Vallance, under the pseudonym "Rodney Higgs", was the original and principal songwriter for Prism. But after the first album, he withdrew from the band and only provided token contributions. The role of principal songwriter was then left to Lindsay Mitchell. Although a capable songwriter, he could not match the quantity of material written by Vallance. This in turn forced the band to go outside the lineup for new material.

The main event was a tag team match, in which the team of Batista and John Cena defeated the team of King Booker and Finlay.

The other match was an Inferno match featuring wrestlers attempting to set the opponent on fire with flames surrounding the ring. Kane defeated Montel Vontavious Porter.

The event grossed over $423,500 in ticket sales from an attendance of 8,200.

The event was released on DVD on January 16, 2007 by Sony Music Entertainment. The DVD reached second on Billboard's DVD Sales Chart for recreational sports during the week of February 18, 2007, and it dropped to the tenth spot the following week.
