I really like the idea of Lethal Lottery. The WWE could make it a big deal event if they wanted to. Have a week of shows in Las Vegas. First show, every Championship is on the line, and the opponents are randomly drawn. The second show can just be the old "RAW Roulette" deal, where the matches were booked, but the stipulations were not. Then finally, do the Lethal Lottery thing.

Let's say there are eight tag teams entered:

Chavo Guerrero
Paul London

Brian Kendrick
Matt Hardy

John Cena
Umaga

The Undertaker
Kane

Shawn Michaels
Johnny Nitro

CM Punk
Rob Van Dam

Joey Mercury
Gregory Helms

Shelton Benjamin
Chris Benoit

Guerrero and London decide that they want to win this tournament, so they make a pact to get along well. Kendrick and Hardy have experience working with (and against) each other, but they are expected to be well-oiled. London and Guerrero actually do whatever it takes to win, however, and London uses the ropes and tights to pin his partner, Kendrick.

The Undertaker and Kane expect to be partners, as if they manipulated fate. It fits their characters. John Cena is the unlucky sap who gets an enemy as a partner, and he finds himself in a three-way monster beat-down. Cena gets a Double Chokeslam from the Brothers of Destruction to eliminate his team.

Shawn Michaels is partnered with "the next Shawn Michaels" Johnny Nitro. The two vow to work well together, but they have to go against the ECW Originals, RVD and CM Punk (for some reason Punk is considered an Original whereas Kevin Thorn is not). Punk refuses to let RVD tag out, setting up a stoner vs. straight-edge feud, as Shawn Michaels and Johnny Nitro advance.

Joey Mercury and Gregory Helms work well together, both coming from OMEGA, and while Benoit and Benjamin have some initial troubles, they eventually gel, and upset the co-operative team of Mercury and Helms.

The semi-final matches are Chavo Guerrero & Paul London vs. The Undertaker & Kane, while Shawn Michaels & Johnny Nitro face Chris Benoit & Shelton Benjamin.

London and Guerrero find themselves dominated, but eventually Guerrero cheats to get control over Kane. He and London work over Kane pretty well, but Kendrick and Ashley come out to watch. London is distracted by this, and Kane powers out of a facelock, tags in The Undertaker, who unleashes Hell on London and Guerrero, and pins London after a Last Ride.

Joey Mercury and Charlie Haas get involved in the other semi-final, to help out their usual partners, but eventually the match ends when Shawn Michaels catches Shelton Benjamin off a springboard with a Sweet Chin Music.

We get The Undertaker & Kane vs. Shawn Michaels & Johnny Nitro as the final tag team match of the tournament. The Undertaker & Kane manage to dominate Johnny Nitro for most of the match, but he tags in Shawn Michaels, who fires up, and Sweet Chin Musics the big men a few time, but they don't go down on the first, but when they do, they sit-up. HBK and Nitro fight tooth and nail, but it's no good against the former Tag Champs. Chavo Guerrero and Paul London run-in, though, and help the RAW team pick up the victory, which surprises the commentators.

So the singles match to crown the ultimate winner is Shawn Michaels vs. Johnny Nitro. What a fun little match this would be. Shawn Michaels gets the clean victory with the Sweet Chin Music, but gives Johnny Nitro a handshake afterwards. If you wanted to, you could have Nitro attack HBK from behind, just to re-affirm his heel status.

What fun that would be, and I didn't even think it through. There is really no way to go wrong with randomly drawn opponents, in my opinion.
