It seems as though the Survivor Series has lost much of its prestige. While it is one of the big 4, outside of Mania (which of course is the biggest) it doesn't seem to be anywhere near the Rumble or SummerSlam.

If given the oppertunity to try and fix this problem what would you do to help restore the Survivor Series and return it to being on par with SummerSlam and the Rumble?
 
Have it mean something.

The original Survivor Series was about getting Hogan vs. Andre in the ring against each other without doing a full on rematch. Use that same idea. Make the main event an elimination tag match with captains in a big feud. Put something on the line if you like, such as where you want to have the next match, the right to choose a stipulation, the right to earn another title shot, or geez even put the title on the line. At the end of the day, fans don't care about matches that mean nothing, because nothing changes if they don't see it. Look at Rock/Cena vs. Awesome Truth. What was on the line? Nothing. What changed if either team won? Nothing. Why should I care about that match if I'm already buying Wrestlemania? No reason to. Make Survivor Series worth something and people will buy it.

To go along with that last part of your answer, why didn't they go with Team Cena vs. Team Rock? Wouldn't that have been much more entertaining and draw better than what was essentially a squash match?
 
I'm really not sure. My guess is they didn't think they had enough people despite having the biggest roster ever.

That's the only issue because Cena and Rock are both faces. Either one of them, especially Rock with someone he had history with, could've pulled off having heels on their team though.
 
Do you think WWE made a minor mistake naming Swagger's ankle lock the Patriot Act? And considering the demographic they're aiming for, they renamed it?
 
i think someone may have already asked you this, so sorry if i'm asking you it again.

Are you enjoying The Rock and Alberto Del Rio's title reigns?

I am but there's only so much you can get out of Rock's at the moment.

If it is Cena vs Taker' at WM 30 and Rock wrestles at the show, what should go on last?

Cena vs. Taker. That's the dream match for WWE.
