I'm not necessarily opposed to writing stip matches so much as I'm opposed to writing stip matches for the sake of writing stip matches; what I mean is, I think that stips are great within the context of a feud (cage, ladder, FCA, street fight, submission, or what have you), but I'm not a big fan of "we need x type of match on the card, let's book these guys in it." Even ladder matches, which are "allegedly" WC's specialty, I haven't written for unless they were part of some kind of significant storyline/feud.
The only kind of stip match that I've ever liked enough to write just for the sake of writing is No Gravity, and NG is really more of a lower midcard stip.
If we'd been building towards something, I'd be all for it, but for the #1 Contender to be announced on the last show before the PPV... I dunno: there really isn't enough meat there to justify a stip, at least not in my eyes.
And, let's not forget that you haven't actually won the match yet; if Drea can be bothered to write, she's totally capable of winning...
