People seemed to generally like them and you got stuff like BRIAN KENDRICK CURRENT WWE CHAMPION. Yet we only had the couple matches and that was it.
They need to start subbing these in sometimes since it's something different they haven't worn out yet. It's not something that takes any special ring setup or special build either.

I kind of agree. It's a good way to give a title match to a guy who wouldn't normally get one
Also the Scramble match would be an easy way to get the title off of a "super face" champion without making them look weak so that you can test a new guy for a few months.

I really love Scramble matches. I can't explain it but there's a certain frantic pace and sense of excitement to them that makes them really fun to watch.

Given that my only experience with a scramble match was in the games, which let me tell you was confusing as all f*** when I first played, I would love to see one.

Anything that allows me to post this is alright with me: HHH: hold on there now. i see Scott Armstrong was the ref there. i think that count might have been a little fast wasn;t it Scott? Scott: they're onto us Brian. Brian: what? HHH: i hearby take this belt from you and give it to someone who deserves it...ME!

I really enjoyed Unforgiven 2008 and thought the Scrambles were crazy fun. I'd like to have them back for sure.

I loved the Scramble matches. Brilliant idea, nice and simple, like if TNA didn't go insane with the rules. I wish they'd bring them back. Also kicked off Jericho as champion and the Shawn Michaels feud, which was amazing.

I don't think I've ever seen a scramble match, so sure, why not?

This is why Mike Adamle was a great GM.

The problem with this match is WWE explain the rules in a long drawn out way and make them sound really complicated and confusing for weeks before the PPV when all they have to do is say "15 minutes long, whoever scores the last pinfall is the winner and champion and that you can only pin the person who had the previous pinfall" or words to that effect instead of going on about interim champions and whatnot
Also the hardcore title match at mania 2000 was the first ever scramble match but they called it a 15 minute invitational battle royal.

i think 'the brian kendrick - current wwe champion' is part of the reason we don't have these matches anymore. the powers that be probably felt like such a thing tarnished the rich legacy of the wwe championship. but they're wrong. absolutely, 100% WRONG.

I agree.
I loved the concept of the Scramble Match. Really wish they would bring it back sicne it's one of those matches where you can tease an over jobber babyface like Santino winning the belt.

I was just thinking about this the other day. Then again, it's coming up on October and we're due for some "Beat The Clock" action after Battleground.
