I haven't read this entire thread, but I'm going to, because I'm sure everyone has some interesting and valid thoughts to say on the subject (including CyNick, despite my heatless feud with him at the moment). But this seems like the perfect place to post this:
I had an idea for the quarter-finals that I think is so good and gets the most guys over that for the first time in TPWW history...I'm not going to post it. I don't want to jinx it. But given what everybody wants out of this tournament, what the company wants, and what I think it realizes it NEEDS -- I feel there is a strange chance this might actually happen. I'll probably be proven wrong in favor of the predictable, but it was something I had never considered a possibility until I was just mulling it over and it popped into mind almost experimentally.
It would work, it would feed storylines for not only the immediate future, but months ahead. It would save blowing off some major potential angles too early, and it would elevate a few guys to a position where they could get a permanent footing in the casual fan's main event perception of them. And -- a bonus, given that the WWE have so many guys out -- if this flops on its face, you can always go back to the status quo.
I'll just say this: I have a strange inkling that one of the quarter-final matches on RAW is not going to turn out like we think it will. Quite possible, but it will probably be one I don't want it to be.
