Survivor Series with all the Fixings
In the past, the November Survivor Series Pay-Per-View was something of a novelty. It featured a full card of traditional "survivor" matches where teams of 4 or 5 singles wrestlers would compete, and sometimes 4 on 4 tag team matches. Usually each team would have a captain representative, and would follow the rules of a tag team match. However in the Survivor Series matches, as a wrestler was pinned, submitted or counted out, they were eliminated from the match. This kept going until one team or wrestler had eliminated all of the opponents. It made for some interesting situations, such as 1 wrestler vs 3 or 4 wrestlers, and so forth.
There haven't been any matches formally announced for the 2008 Survivor Series as of yet. We have some clues as to what might go down. For example, on Smackdown Vladimir Kozlov wants to fight for the WWE title. He may get that match with HHH at Survivor Series. Big Show and Undertaker aren't quite done yet, and it's likely we see them in a Casket Match. People are hoping we don't see another Rey Mysterio vs. Kane encounter, but that's possible as well. The Mark Henry challenging Matt Hardy for the ECW strap is also getting old for many fans.
The PPV still carries the name "Survivor Series". So why not have the team elimination matches that are just as traditional as turkey and stuffing on Thanksgiving day? It would be nice to see one traditional Survivor Series match from each brand and then maybe add one for the WWE Divas. Sprinkle in a few feud matches or stipulations and you've got a PPV feast!
Suggested Survivor Series Matches:
WWE Divas Survivor Match
Maria, Michelle McCool, Candice & Kelly Kelly vs. Maryse, Natalya, Katie Lea & Beth Phoenix
ECW Survivor Match
Matt Hardy, Finlay, Evan Bourne, Tommy Dreamer vs. Mark Henry, Miz, John Morrison & Jack Swagger
Smackdown Survivor Match
Jeff Hardy, R-Truth, Kung Fu Naki, Triple H vs. Shelton Benjamin, MVP, The Brian Kendrick and Vladimir Kozlov
Raw Survivor Match
CM Punk, Kofi Kingston, Shawn Michaels & Batista vs. Cody Rhodes,Ted Dibiase, JBL, Chris Jericho
Yes, Kung Fu Naki seems far off from the level of HHH, Hardy and R-Truth, but he could provide some humorous or interesting moments in a match. Perhaps taking out Kendrick or MVP unexpectedly. If you wanted things even more interesting, how about adding in a stipulation on the matches. If a title holder is the last remaining member for their team and get pinned or submit, they lose their title to whoever defeats them. It'd be a variation of the Championship Scramble, and make things even more interesting. Teams would be gunning to eliminate everyone except the champ, saving them for last.

How about instead of including Triple H and Kozlov, you could have the other guys participate in a six man tag and the winning team challenges the champion in a fatal 4-way match for the title.
Or you could have legends returning to cost guys matches, e.g. Bret Hart could cost HBK his match.
