To be fair, that story was gold because Ric Flair was a megastar. Same goes with Rock-Cena. Replace those guys in those stories with a mid-carder and the story suddenly becomes a waste of time. Ideally, there would always be a story though. But the bigger star in the weaker story will usually trump the lesser star in the better story.

As for the original example of Miz/Mizdow vs. a Sheamus match though, I'd say Miz/Mizdow should get the nod. If it's Rock, Taker, etc. it's different. Sheamus isn't a big enough star yet to push a well built match off the card just for his star power.
