So does anyone know if the RAW vs SD match is elimination or one fall?

Unfortunately, I found this @ wwe.com

Just as the name of the first-ever WWE Bragging Rights pay-per-view suggests, the Superstars of SmackDown and Raw will meet in a massive tag team confrontation to determine brand supremacy. In the midst of this 14-Superstar melee, only one pinfall will be needed to decide the winning team.

Rubbish!

Maybe they think its too close in the year to Survivor Series, but its only one match. This news makes that match go from a interesting and intriging match to a match that will probally be the worst of the night. It also means that guys like Escobar, Ziggler, McIntrye, Henry etc will get marginalised by the bigger stars. At least with the elimination format you could possibly get someone like Ziggler eliminating HBK or Maybe Big Show eliminating Jericho to add spice to their "tension". This way you can almost pick the the guys who will get the pinfall.

If history is anything to go by the finish will involve.

Jericho pinning Henry or Triple H pinning Escobar/McIntyre.

I suppose an interesting finish would be Jericho pinning Big Show or vice versa.

These matches to often become a match based on "Protecting" people, they ruined Classic Survivor Series matches back in the day attempting to protect people having them eliminated by count outs, dqs etc.

Yeah exactly and its pointless.

I can understand wanting to protect someone like Swagger with his "I won't lose again in 09" thing and guys who haven't lost yet like McIntrye and Escobar but i still think you can protect them in a Survivor Series match. Imagine if it ended up with D-X & Big Show vs Team SD with HBK having been battered. Jericho pins Big Show..... Big Show Gets angry and knocks out Jericho leaving HBK to pin Him... Leaving D-X vs Ziggler, McIntrye, Escobar, Kane, Cryme Tyme.... D-X get rid of Cryme Tyme with a SCM/Pedigree combo leaving it Ziggler, McIntrye, Escobar & Kane vs D-X.... Capitlising on HBK being beaten Kane chokeslams HBK behind the refs back and Ziggler pins him..... Leaving HHH vs Ziggler, McIntrye, Escobar & Kane. Kane starts to batter HHH and everytime HHH looks like getting the upper hand SD cheat to regain Kane's dominance. Out of nowhere HHH pedigrees and eliminates Kane. But he is so battered that Ziggler, McIntrye & Escobar gang up and all hit their finishers and Ziggler pins HHH.

Imagine the boost for SD and those three new guys. No one on RAW looks bad coz D-X has overcome alot... the Big Show/Jericho tension continues and Ziggler, McIntrye & Escobar all get their names and finishers out there.

i don't think it'll happen that way but it would be a nice change of pace with everyone expecting HHH, HBK, Jerishow to dominate

I suspect HHH or HBK will get the fall or some sort of ending involving Jerishow.
