In fact, up until the main, I was enjoying the card quite a bit. Then came the main event, and while the action was fairly good, I knew we were going to see the Tag Titles switch hands. In the ring came Steph , then in came Vince , then there was the pin. Raw was no better on Monday, other than when I tuned in I expected to see Kane and SCSA , and I got Taker vs. SCSA, which I was happy with. I didn't mind knowing that SCSA was going to walk out of that ring with the World Title, but I did not like how it happened, and it made me sour on the whole night of Raw.
Match lasts three seconds, and out comes HHH with a sledgehammer, match is a DQ, call for the bell.
At that point, I relied on CRZ to fill me in on the rest of Raw because I changed the channel. Yeah, there has to be a lot of tough action, and yeah, there needs to be swerves and spots and all the like. I just feel, and following the industry for years has led me to this school of thought, that the storytelling is all in who gets the victory, who gets the loss, and how it all happens. When all three elements are predictable, it makes for bad television. Both numbers are still solid, but they are both down from what they were as recently as six weeks ago.
