although it's still considered one of the big four, i think most people would have survivor series as their least favorite of the bunch. it's a fun time but compared to mania, rumble and summerslam it's always hard to measure up.
don't get me wrong it USED to be piff. there was genuine novelty in seeing all these big time superstars team up because it didn't happen nearly as often and the whole elimination thing just really made it huge. now it's just par for the course (although the brand split has admittedly added some intrigue of it's own and given the ppv new meaning).
anyways here's my idea:
what if every survivor series elimination match could only have one winner, one
sole survivor.
so per usual you take 2 teams and whoever is left standing at the end is the winner. only difference is if an entire team is eliminated and there are still members left from the other team, now they have to duke it out until only 1 is left. and that person would be crowned sole survivor.
overall i just think that raises the stakes for the entire match and makes it much more entertaining.

then again with the brand split i could see it being a problem. god forbid one brand look too vastly superior over the other.
steph: "you want there to be 2 members from smackdown left after they've already eliminated the entire raw team?
