I thought it was bad that they once again hyped something for close to 2 hours and then didn't deliver. I mean I know they didn't guarante Foley would be there, but if h's not going to show, dont make it seem like he will befor 2 hours.

They could have put heat on Orton by using Foley's house or family. Maybe Orton could have done an angle with Collette or one of the kids in order to get heat. They could have said Foley is 'away on business' and isn't in the area. At least that way Orton stil gets heat, but you dont swerve the fans.

The other reason that I didn't like it was because it took away from a decent bout between Orton and RVD. These matches are being designed to put over Orton, notice he won clean. But for the fans in the arena, and possibly the ones at home as well, all they could foucs on was 'when is Foley coming out?'. To me that took away from the match, which is bad for someone they want to eventually lead the comapny.

I recognize they have a long term plan for this angle, and they want people to thin Foley is a coward but they have to think in terms of the impact on business with every level of this program.
