I agree with the original post. Could you imagine if Hulk Hogan was losing non-title matches on Superstars in the lead up to PPVs back in the day? Seems ridiculous to even think about.
I think it's all based on the shoehorn booking trying to squeeze as many PPVs into a calendar year to where they don't have time to build up contenders as viable threats. We've talked about that ad nauseam, but that's only because it's so true. When you have three weeks to build a contender as opposed to months, you have to give people a quick reason to think that the contender deserves a shot, so what better way than to have him beat the champion? It makes sense sorta, but it's not entertaining...like, at all.
