What is championship scramble

But as of during the "Mike Adamle era". The gimmick match was brought back as a "Mike Adamle original". In where there were 3 Championship Scramble Matches featuring the 3 top world titles at the time. Should the WWE bring back this match? And if they do when and on what format?

I think they should make it an annual match at Night of Champions, but have a different title defended in the match each year. Blade Dark Match Winner. Joined: Feb 26, Messages: 25 Likes Received: 2. The difference between the Hardcore Battle Royal and the Scramble match is that every winner in the Hardcore Battle Royal was recognized as champion.

I don't think it's a good match for the Unified title, but I'd love to see a Scramble for the IC or US championship featuring mid-carders. Da Solo likes this. Dagger Dias One Winged Admin.

Back in when they did the PPV event with the Championship Scramble matches I recall reading countless comments on how stupid and complicated the idea was.

I am shocked that anyone can look back on those matches and want to see more of them. They should never do another Championship Scramble. The booking is far too complicated and the end result is an idiotic match type that we really do not need.

Not for the world titles, not for the midcard titles, not even for title contendership status. I give credit for WWE for trying something different but the fact that after 5 years we never saw another one of these shows that they made the right decision.

It is a match that can work if the have good enough wrestlers and for a minor PPV, it is an easy way to book 5 people. No matter who is in the ring we are guaranteed some great action. There is an element of unpredictability and I wouldn't mind seeing it. Even for a mid-card belt: find 5 able wrestlers and it is very simple.

I agree that a match like this doesn't have to be over used, but it should still be used from time to time if enough people are interested. The main flaw I find in these bouts is the possibility of making a guy who is super over at the time look foolish by getting pinned too often.

I believe the young audience don't understand the match. Joined: Jun 12, Messages: Likes Received: Booker t 5x Dark Match Jobber. Joined: Feb 19, Messages: 13 Likes Received: 2. I enjoyed the scramble a lot. It's now or never. Imagine a world where The Brian Kendrick becomes an interim WWE champion, with seconds ticking before the unthinkable is a reality. A final minute where Jeff Hardy desperately scales the top rope looking to hit his Swanton Bomb finisher in order to regain the WWE championship.

Chaos building to a crescendo. Maybe it was too much, too soon. The unveiling of the match type at Unforgiven included three Championship Scramble matches for three different world championships on one card.

Some fans didn't like the fact that a wrestler could score three pinfalls in one match without becoming a WWE champion. But wouldn't this be the perfect way to protect a rising star who wasn't quite ready to become a world champion? Imagine Ryback running through the field in a Championship Scramble, racking up multiple pinfalls before a savvy heel snipes the final pinfall at the last second.

In 20 minutes there is immense heat on the heel while the babyface is kept strong. The Championship Scramble was a hair before its time. Twitter had not yet taken off to the level it is now, nor had WWE given its Lennie Small embrace to the social media giant.

Had the match occurred in era of Twitter, think of the multiple trending topics within one match following each interim championship pinfall. Social media influence alone could have been enough to make WWE to change its tune when it came to eventually scrapping the scramble.

With some fine-tuning, maybe WWE will see the value of such a potentially exciting match. BTNW : Mr. Kennedy Goldberg-Hogan Championship Scramble. Follow ThisIsNasty. Enjoy our content? Join our newsletter to get the latest in sports news delivered straight to your inbox!
