#3 Playing by the rules

If WWE is going to air a show on Christmas Day, then you know that they won't be able to help themselves with the offering of a Yule-inspired match. The "Miracle on 34th Streetfight" gimmick was utilized for this 6-man cruiserweight tag match.

Cookie sheets, wrapped presents, and even full-sized Christmas trees were all potential weapons in a match that promised festive mayhem.

The big problem here is that for most of the contest, at least four of the men involved failed to take advantage of the Streetfight stipulation. Corey Graves even mentioned that "anything goes" at one point on commentary. So why did they all stand idly by and wait to get tagged in as if this was an ordinary tag match?

Sure, tags would've been necessary for determining who's legal during the pinfalls, but the ref otherwise had no jurisdiction against any wild melees that could've happened otherwise.
