I do think knockouts should count as eliminations for the record, since all the finish does is protect the already protected top babys. But that's not what the rules are and it's unfair to change them midway through a season.
Losing via count out, DQ, tag partner taking the fall, object retrieval, cage escape, battle royale, shut in a casket/ambulance, etc shouldn't count though.
Last man standing and I quit matches are grey areas because in some cases they could be a KO or submission, but sometimes it's being duct taped to a ringpost.
