I had no idea the match was elimination-style... Back in the day, I had a strong preference for the ECW/three-way-dance elimination rules as the less cheap/flukey way of doing things, but I gotta admit: after 15 years, WWE's pretty much beaten me into submission and gotten me acclimated to the sudden-death/single-fall/champion-doesn't-have-to-be-pinned-to-lose rules. Could be doing it the "old" way tonight to faciliate some sort of cheap DX exit or storyline element related to their split... could also just be a way of previewing the Chamber PPV, since I believe that's really the only gimmick match in WWE's aresenal that IS traditionally held under elimination-style rules. We'll see. And it also occurs to me that I said "Show and Miz have nothing better to do at the PPV than defend that tag titles," but that's not the entire story. Miz is still, technically, the US Champ (even if nobody but him seems to care about it, and his only matches are unannounced impromptu affairs on PPV), so he SHOULD have something better to do. He just doesn't. Yet. But I figure if we're labeling Punk as "above the tag titles," we oughta at least recognize that there's a similar stumbling block regarding Miz. I don't know if I agree with anyone being "above" the tag belts; sure DX has punted their reign, but Show and Jericho were both huge singles stars who made THEIR reign work really well, hopping brands and being active without totally eschewing singles agendas. It could happen that way again with either Punk or Miz. I think I'd still prefer to give the nod to Punk just now. Not just because his act is red hot, but because with the Society, the alternative will be there before too long to expand his flock and start defending the tag titles "Freebird Rules" style. Which frees him up to do whatever's required of him, singles-wise, while still being the primary brand-hopping heat magnet behind Luke/NextRandomBaldie. Rick
