They had a few of these matches last year, didn't they? I thought they went over pretty well.

There were like 4 Elimination matches last year.
I don't think any of them went over 10 minutes. One of them was a complete squash match and the others had so many falls in a row it just seemed pointless.
Less is more.

I would rather a good set of short matches than one long drawn out one. So i say we need more. A midcard one and an undercard one could flesh out the ppv and feature some people not usually seen.
I remember when ppvs used to have the odd random match or even undercard fued payoff matches instead of just the same top matches every month like we're having now

With all the PPVs these days, I'm surprised they don't run more as gimmick events to distinguish them.
Survivor Series really should be all elimination matches, maybe with a singles main event. I mean, would that hurt buyrates?

I know this isn't his first tag team match since the Umaga gimmick, but ... I still wanna know how a "Samoan Savage" knows the rules of the tag team elimination match? Especially now that he doesn't have AAE with him to explain things.
And how does a Cuban dude know how to speak Samoan? I mean, I guess he could have studied....

personally i would of liked to see a 3 team deal with ECW vs Smackdown vs Raw or something
They still got a bunch of undercard guys they could put in a match
they could still do say
Jamie Noble, Santino Marella, Lance Cade, Trevor Murdoch, and Kevin Thorn vs Tommy Dreamer, Paul London, Brian Kendrick, Jesse, and Festus
and
Shelton Benjamin, Charlie Haas, Kenny Dykstra, Carlito, and Drew McIntire vs Cody Rhodes, Hardcore Holly, Chuck Palumbo, and The Major Brothers.

One of them was a complete squash match and the others had so many falls in a row it just seemed pointless. Less is more. This has always been the case in these matches. The bueaty of SS is that ou can further a ton of fueds with no payoffs. While doing it in a different way. So yes I agree we need more of these

Personally, I miss that one year where they had those "random" teams. It'd be a great way to mix the brands, and to get people over: from what I recall, debuting Ahmed Johnson on the main event face team made a huge star.
