I remember WCW a while ago did Battle Bowl where they took 2 random superstars and tagged them against another random team. Then I believe the winning teams went into a battle royal. DDP won one. It's an idea that would be interesting in this era of wrestling. Good feuds and characters. Thoughts?

Id love to see it as long as it was done like the very first Battle Bowl. 20 men 2 ring battle royal at the end. The 2nd and 3rd I believe went down to like 8-10 guys and 1 ring. Of course I dont ever see them doing this as they would feel it would take away from the Royal Rumble

It's cool if it doesn't come off as too hokey - when EVERY tag team that is randomly selected "just happens" to be two guys who are feuding with each other at the time... OR every match has two guys who are partners/allies on opposite sides.
WCW did it right once or twice, and really bad once or twice....
And the battle bowl at the end was very cool...
If done right, I would love to see this concept for a PPV... I think the trick is to have about 60% total randomness, and 40% contrived angle-driven partnerships...

Even if they did it as a special program. Like when WCW did the clash of champions on random Thursdays. No need to make it a pay per view but maybe a special Saturday night thing or something

the initial battle bowl (and the War Games) were innovative and fantastic concept gimmicky matches - so much potential.
I loved the first battlebowl and how it played out.

I really liked Battle Bowl & it's something they could easily do on Raw one night. There's no need for 2 rings. You have 5 tag matches, 10 guys in the battle royal, winner at the end of the show gets a title shot or something
