Raining blood was cheesy. Most of the cheese though, was actually entertaining. And the show was entertaining, even as they started weeding out the cheese. I mean, for a while, the only real comedy gimmick was the Hurricane. Even the Undertaker was scaled back.
Stickman's right, though. We need a midcard and some real main eventers. We also need the multiple segment focuses to go on those folks, and leave the filler as, well...Filler. And we need some excitement. The Rock laid down. Even Triple H laid down. Foley Laid down. We had a lot of stars who would give and take, and everything looked better for it. It was an era where Doug Basham really could have felt like a hopeful for the title...You know, before HHH stiffed him....
It also wouldn't hurt to have a few Epic rivalries. Taker/Kane, Taker/Austin, Taker/Big Show, Taker Mankind, Taker/DX...
...Okay, Undertaker was involved in a lot of exciting matches. There are others, I was just looking to be a smartass.
