Survivor Series Dream Card

How about we take a day or two break from the Heroes talk?

I've mentioned it before, and it's hardly an original observation, but I'm fascinated by the fact that WWE has gone completely overboard with offering these "concept Pay-Per-Views" -- and giving them the most obvious names ever -- yet they seem so resistant to stay true to their original themed event, Survivor Series. Of course, my pessimism may be a bit premature, as only two matches have been announced thus far, but I can't help but be extremely nervous that we won't see more than two Classic Survivor Series Elimination Matches.

And don't even get me wrong, I'm actually looking strangely forward to the two World Championship Triple Threat matches, as both battles see the champion defending against two tag team partners (John Cena vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H -- DX -- for the WWE Championship and Undertaker vs. Chris Jericho vs. The Big Show -- "JeriShow" -- for the World Heavyweight Championship). In a way, it's actually an odd twist on the event's "team" motif. But those two matches aside, I'd like to see the card full of classic elimination matches. At this point in time, here's how I'd book the show:

Raw Elimination Match:
Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, Ted DiBiase, The Miz, and Jack Swagger vs. Kofi Kingston, MVP, Mark Henry, Evan Bourne, and Santino Marella

Smackdown Elimination Match:
Batista, Kane, Dolph Ziggler, Eric Escobar, and Mike Knox vs. Rey Mysterio, Matt Hardy, R-Truth, and Cryme Tyme

ECW Elimination Match:
Christian, Tommy Dreamer, Yoshi Tatsu, The Hurricane, and Goldust vs. William Regal, Vladmir Koslov, Ezekiel Jackson, Paul Burchill, and Zack Ryder

Multi-Brand Elimination Match:
John Morrison, Finlay, Shelton Benjamin, The Great Khali, and Jamie Noble vs. CM Punk, Chavo Guerrero, Sheamus, and the Hart Dynasty

Divas Elimination Match:
Melina, Mickie James, Gail Kim, Kelly Kelly, and Eve vs. Beth Phoenix, Michelle McCool, Alicia Fox, Katie Lea Burchill, and Natalya

Admittedly, it's not a perfect card. But it manages to fit in pretty much every single relatively major Superstar, and it gives them an excuse to delay certain matches. How about we put off Batista vs. Rey one month (or three weeks, it seems)? This is one solution to that significant problem they've been having, with them replaying the same exact match over and over again.

For what it's worth, why not use Survivor Series 2006 as a model? It featured several multi-brand elimination matches, and only a couple title matches. Again, it's something different -- which is what they need.
