Remember when Sting got thrown from the titantron but it was clearly a stunt double? And they played it off like it was a shoot? They were "worried" for him and calling him Steve Borden.
They got a ton of heat for that because it was the same building Owen died in, and only a year later nonetheless. |

I actually wasn't into wrestling at this time. I remember when I heard about it, I saw the dvd cover at the store. Not only was I thrilled with seeing Shawn Michaels on a dvd cover, but the concept of the match and the guys in it caught my attention.
I ended up watching it with a friend, and that's sorta when I got back into things. |

I think it should only ever be used when you have 6 main eventers who are all in the hunt for the title, and all have a legitimate claim at a title shot.
Then, and only then, the gimmick should be dusted off. And like you said, only once every couple years. Using it once a year at No Way Out wouldn't even bother me if it was only one of them. Instead they have two on the same card. awful. That undermines what makes the whole gimmick work. Plus it causes them to stick everyone in the match. If they must use it at No Way Out, I'd rather see there only be one. And have it be for who gets the Wrestlemania title shot for the brand that didn't win the rumble. Cross-brand even. That way, you'd get some meaning to it, and the 6 spots would be more elite guys from both shows. |

I'm glad I don't pay for PPV's because it's pretty obvious that neither the WHC or the WWE title are gonna change hands.

For instance, this years should be the WWE title shot, and it should be Jericho vs CM Punk vs Undertaker vs HHH vs Jeff Hardy vs Big Show
Then you could still have Orton/Shane, and HBM/JBL They could use the oppurtunity to have Cena and Edge work matches against uppercard guys, for a nice rub. Or even better have them involved in non-title matches since usually the No Way Out title matches are throwaways anyways. |

It wouldn't be bad for the card, or the stature of the show's titles, to have the three champions in a non-title exhibition match of some kind.
It'd make the ECW title seem equal for once a year. It wouldn't be that bad since it wouldn't have to main event the show on a card that had a star studded elimination chamber for a title shot, and two big storyline matches. |

Kane was epic at this time. I thought he should have held the title for a bit.

This match would have made more sense a couple months earlier when they introduced the World Title, instead of just handing it to HHH wouldn't it?
