Oh I've been meaning to mention how happy I was with the tag match on Raw
Apart from it being awesome technically and all it was so good for the story - Jericho actually pinning Punk 100% clean by outwrestling him is great.

I can't figure out why Johnny Ace went right from "Teddy Long won't lie down for me" to summoning Kane THAT VERY INSTANT. Did he consider it a given that he couldn't possibly beat Teddy Long in a fight? That seems somewhat odd given that HE'S a former wrestler and Teddy isn't...

Hang on
Are we talking single-pinfall tag match, or Survivor Series-style elimination tag match? If it's 6 on 6 but only one pin needs to happen, well... the time spent on everyone's entrances will probably be longer than the match itself. Thinking about the Corre's 4v4 last year...

JaKyL25 03/12/12 9:55:00 AM #422: |
From: MartinFF7 | #421 There was no mention of Elimination in the letter. If they get closer to the show and realize they have time for it they MIGHT change it, but they also might not want that many people to eat a pin. Personally I don't mind if everyone just comes in and gets their spots in and then the match ends quickly. Gets lots of people a WM payday and leaves more time for the more important matches. Remember, if time is at all short, the match that will suffer is Punk vs. Jericho. So everyone else HURRY THE **** UP. From: muddersmilk | #419 I would assume so, considering that they already planted the seeds for them to be on Team Laurinaitis.

Punk/Jericho gets shortchanged for one reason.
Once they realize that time is getting short, DB/Sheamus in all likelihood has already taken place, which means they have to cut the time for one of the main events, and they sure as hell ain't cutting down Taker/HHH and Rock/Cena. -- HBJ - occupymyheart ~Project 1000~ ... Copied to Clipboard!

From: EmDubyaSee | #424 I was working under the assumption that Sheamus vs. Bryan will open the show. I meant "if time is running short as the event moves forward." Sheamus vs. DB probably won't be longer than 7-10 minutes anyway, even without time constraints.

Bourne will be back by then (Someone on this team is eating a pin so why not. <_<)
That's why I have Zeke in there. He is already a part of this feud and he can be the one who takes the pin. Plus he looks more intimidating standing on the apron than Bourne. So, I expect this to be the bathroom break/cool down match between The last two main events. -- (Maniac64 at work) All the proteins, vitamins, and carbs of your grandma's best turkey dinner, plus 15% alcohol. ...

How long was that 12-man tag they had in October? That was an awesome match, everyone got time and I don't remember it being longer than 15 minutes...thing is everyone except Cena and Punk had jobber entrances so
That said, the roster is pretty thin. They now have six matches set, with Orton/Kane to be announced anytime - and apart from the divas, I can't think of any big snubs right now, presuming the 12 guys that are picked are what we expect. So that is 8 matches with a 9th to come MAYBE. In a 4 hour PPV. I think it'll be fine, timewise. -- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. ... Copied to Clipboard!

And then throw in a team of Del Rio/Sin Cara/Hunico/Mysterio/Primo/Epico as a third team. DOA vs. The Nation vs. Los Boricuas (not really) all over again!
