In any other company you'd assume that's because they're strapping a rocket to Keith Lee, Orton will win the championship, and Lee will be Orton's first big feud and possibly win the tittle, but I won't be shocked if Orton doesn't even manage to win the title

Just send Ricochet back down. He didn’t have a long run in NXT and never got the main belt. It’s a better use for him than Main Event.

In Iron Man matches that are tied, they usually go into sudden death. You're telling me instead of just doing Sudden death with the two with the highest pin totals, they said see ya next week on Thunder?

I'd say they could do TV time remaining, no one gets a fall before the end of the second hour and oops, see you next week. But that would be doing something the other side would do so they definitely won't.

I remember thinking distinctly a few years ago that even as they'd continued to ruin some of their most iconic match types, the Iron Man Match was one of a handful that still carried true prestige and they always treated as important and with respect for the stip. How long until we're having Rumbles on Free TV?

So they are potentially ending the show with the 60 minute Ironman based on the wrestlevotes tweet. The potential for sudden death next week seems like such a misstep.

final battle 2002 had a 4 way match end in a 60 minute time limit draw. this was also how they determined the first ever ROH champion, but low ki was successful in his efforts there.

ending in a draw and continuing the sudden death next week is an interesting tactic though. the downside with iron man matches to me is i always wonder if the audience just tunes out until the last 5 minutes of it. if they would have gone with an actual finish i wouldn't have thought the match was a bad idea at all, it's certainly unique. but a non finish is just an excercise in frustration. maybe the match will be good though. it is four very good wrestlers involved.

I was actually just thinking about the same thing and was wondering: are there any iron man matches where someone just dominates? obviously there are better ways to just put someone over really strongly, but it might be cool to see if handled correctly

Ironman where a chickenshit heel gets one pin and then runs around the ring the whole rest of the time.

I don't think the idea of the 4-way iron Man match ending in a draw is a bad idea in and of itself, especially to get two weeks worth of TV out of it. But the fact this match was thrown together and none of the participants have any heat is what makes it seem like stalling for time rather than telling a good story.

I think Elimination Chamber might be the only non-one-off gimmick match that they haven't done on free TV at this point?

Still, I don't think those have done anything to damage the Rumbles prestige at least, unlike this poo poo. In terms of Ultimate Feud Ender's, did they ever run Three Stages Of He'll into the ground?
