See, thats true, but the announcing style hasnt really adapted to the modern product. Back in the day, when it wasn't
as widely known about beng predetemined, it didn't matter as much. But now since there are so many smart fans who know the old commentary trick, its obviously a good idea to drop it, and try to make the matches more unpredictable from the announcing side.
Like instead of JR saying 'Bah Gawd! RVD is gonna tap goddammit!' it would make hell of alot more sense just to say something about how much pain he would be in, or how its a dangerous place to be caught in this late in the match. This way, he's not blatently telling most viewers that its not actually over. It just sounds like he's analizing the situation.
