However, by having a match like Benoit and HBK vs. Triple H and Orton, they're letting the two men fight each other on TV without giving away what it's going to be like in the one-on-one situation.

It's just how pro wrestling works.
ohhhhhhhh, wellll, ok professor...
i still say they would make more money from ppvs if they made wrestling more exciting on a daily basis rather than showing the same predictable garbage every week. back in '98, '99, & 2000 i used to watch the ppvs. now, with the sorry state of regular tv programming the ppvs just dont seem worth it. and most people i know who USED to watch ppvs feel the same way. if what youre used to seeing isnt interesting why pay 40 bucks, especially when feuds and what-not are rarely settled at a ppv.
