I like the setup of this match. It reminds of sitting in the Omni in Atlanta watching the first WarGames match. | fuelinjected

How about we find out who the hell it will serve on RAW tomorrow night? How about we don't get our smarky smark smark panties all in a twist for once when WE aren't sure what is going to happen?
HHH is NOT the World Champion. That is all you need to know. | fuelinjected

Reposted on: 17.11.09 2329.01 | Personally, I'd rather have HHH as champion instead of Shawn.
Why do I have no faith in them to make good decisions? They dropped the ball with the Invasion, with Booker T, with RVD, with Chris Jericho, with the nWo, with Ric Flair, with Hogan's return, with Austin, with Bischoff. That's why I have no faith in their booking. | DarrylTheHitman

Reposted on: 18.11.09 0048.10 | | Maybe since it was sponsored by X-Box, they should've had X-Boxes in each Chamber so the other 4 could have been playing RAW (natch) while they were waiting to enter. Would've been a wink to the smarks since apparently Booker plays video games backstage instead of whatever WWE protocol/etiquette says he shouldbe doing. | angrycheesehead

Maybe I'm an ignorant fool. But could you please define "dropped the ball"?
Here is how I see it. In the case of RVD, Jericho, Booker, and Hogan, how have they dropped the ball? They are all over with the fans, people pay money to see them, they sell mass amounts of merchandise, and overall, they make the WWE tons of money! Sounds like the WWE did exactly what they were trying to do in this case...
As for Flair, just months ago, people were complaining that they didn't want to see Flair wrestling anymore, because he was too old...so I ask you, what SHOULD they do with him. Send him home and never put him on TV? Once again...they dropped the ball, how?
Bischoff...what other role would you want this guy to play. Would you rather him be booked into the main event at PPVs? I think he's in a very suitable role, and plays it quite well.
The Invasion and the nWo, I'll give ya those. There was so much more they could have done with these storylines... | Ringmistress

Reposted on: 18.11.09 1108.10 | I loved the structure. The only thing I found a little cheesy was the light show and music at the end of every five minutes when a new superstar was to enter. It seemed a little like a bad game show.
I think if it's used again in the future(and I hope it is), you'll see the violence/extreme style go up a notch, as the wrestlers will have been able to use the first match as a starting point.
I heard that it couse $500K to design/build this thing, so I'm guessing it won't just be for that one night. | theUnseenPower
