Great post. welcome to the boards. I agree with every single thing you said. It actually sounded like something I would of posted back in the day. Here's my thoughts on why things are so different now though.
I've said before on here that the wrestling side of the business has just taken a back seat to the entertainment side. Yes, wrestling and entertainment have coesisted in the WWE for a while, but to me it was always a wrestling show with entertainment. Now and days, it just seems like an entertainment show that happens to have wrestling matches on it.
Especially on Raw with all the guest hosts, a lot of cheesy comedy and no real thought behind the writing. It's so straight foward these days. No more cliff hangers, no more suspense, no more surprise. I think a lot of it has to do with them putting so much emphasis on these guest hosts and how to get them involved that they don't really pay much attention to writing good stores.
