Nope. Very bad bad idea in fact.
When you're talking about Super Indy level talent, one on one matches can be excellent. 3-way matches tend to be of a little lesser quality (see Styles/Homicide/Daniels), and 4-ways are even worse. Reason being, with that many people in the match, there isn't enough opportunity to put a good story together.
If you're talking about all 8 men in the ring at once, it would be silly. If it's tag style, that's not much better as most guys would spend the majority of the match standing around, and the time they are in the ring would be limited.
It would be nowhere near awesome.

Yea it would be really sloppy. It wouldn't matter who was in it. A 3 way works when they guys have done it a lot.

4-ways are even worse. Reason being, with that many people in the match, there isn't enough opportunity to put a good story together. That's not nessecarily true. For the point of putting a good story together, I point to a four-way with Daniels/Punk/Kazarian/Rave. The original seeds to the Prophecy -vs- SCS feud were planted in that match. In terms of a good, crowd-pleasing match, the very first four-way in ROH, which took place at CCAC between Whitmer/Cide/London/Cabanarama was VERY awesome and still holds up to this day as one of my favorite live matches. But I agree in that 8 men is just insane and would be a big cluster. Although, now that I think of it, I wouldn't mind seeing a rematch of Cabana/Daniels from Super Indy 1. After watching that tape, it turned into my favorite match of the whole tournament (Low Ki -vs- Sensation aside, because that was good just for good sick entertainment). |

I went back today and watched the ROH 4-way you mentioned. I was at that show and I must have forgotten that yeah, that turned out to be a great little match. I still maintain that the majority of 3 and 4 ways never turn out very well, but that match is a good exception to the rule.

The four way after that Joe/Corino/Punk/Daniels was very awesome too but it didnt get much because it was after the scamble cage.

that kinda match would nevr work no psychology just a spot fest. But a 8 man dragon scramble type rumble now that would be cool.

It would work but there would be a lot of bumps to the floor and a lot of time where 5 of the guys are knocked out on the floor.

now if it was six no name flippies it would work because they would just do huge spot after huge spot and at the end of the match no one would care anymore.

The IWC fans love flippies. If they chant "holy sh!t" for a simple plancha, their heads would probably explode if some flippies were brought in. |
