IMO, you should only get points for eliminating an opponent if the elimination was by pin or submission. Yes, in a singles match, if someone gets counted out, the winner gets win points but elimination matches are different I think. I don't think being the legal man when Jericho walked out or Edge shoved the ref warrants elimination points, but it would if it were a singles match, 'cos then the match is over. The guy who walked out has lost.
