>>7759773That would just be a huge letdown, especially if people want the other guy to cash and the show ends with everyone chanting their name but they can't cash it in, which is a huge fail for the biggest show of the year. It's supposed to be 'anything can happen'.
>>7759851Yeah, EC was based, they also made it too obvious who was going to win or didn't have enough actual contenders in recent years.
>>7759971That's ten times worse and kills the whole point. All you essentially get is a title match, there's no dynamic and you have to do some convoluted jump-through-hoops shit just to get the match.
>>7759982But seven contenders losing their own feuds or singles matches every year also kills a lot of guys
>>7760333They never cared to imply that though, and the fans are conditioned to ngaf.
