Well the number speaks just as badly about Taker as it does JBL, so I wouldn't be rushing to put the strap on Taker anytime soon.
I dont think its just title matches on TV, which are actually somewhat rare now. I think they just have too many 3+ star matches on TV. I think they should go back to doing more regular tags and 6 man+ tag teams matches. They used to do that all the time back in the day, and it usually ended in a giant CF, but it was entertaining, and you didn't really give away many key matches for free. Yet, people didn't feel cheated because all the top guys wrestled. They do that sometimes on RAW, but again, I think they give away too many singles matches that should be on PPV.
Also, when they have one or two matches that go 15-20 minutes, it takes up time that could be used to get more people over. That hurts the brand exclusive PPVs, because a lot of times there will be guys on the PPVs that rarely get time on RAW to get over. Again, I think thats another arguement for going back to shorter, more explosive matches.
