5 on 5, 4 on 4...that's trivial in the point that he's trying to make, I think. The fact of the matter is that they were elimination matches through the whole card, save maybe a couple title matches. I loved that format and would love to see it return, BUT...

...who else would you book in those matches? It'd be a bunch of trivial people battling for nothing whatsoever. I mean, how do you think the bottom of the card would look if they had to pull MAVEN up to the main event on the Raw side? You'd have a match that would look something like...

Rhyno
Tajiri
Hurricane
Rosey

v.

Sylvan Grenier
Rob Conway
Christian
Tyson Tomko

....OK, that match actually might be almost all right. But say you had to make ANOTHER match from the dwindling Raw roster at this point? I don't know if the WWE has the star power to make that many elimination style matches anymore. See what I'm getting at?
