The one thing that really hurt Raw, IMO, was the main event. Not because I knew Jericho was leaving, but because I couldn't suspend disbelief and in any way think that there was a chance of Jericho winning.
It's not the whole Fozzy thing. I can suspend disbelief and get into the feel of a match, but they had to throw in a stipulation that no even rmeotely reasonable person would believe would swing both ways...The Loser is fired. Yeah, there's no fucking chance Cena's gonna get fired. Even being "fired" for one night and reinstated by Vinc McMahon would be a bad idea.
As a result, I couldn't believe the match. I even found those Brock/Shannon Moore matches believable, but I couldn't suspend it for this match. Great Heel tactics, great "Come out on top" sort of finish, but there was no part of my brain that could say, "Oh no! Cena's in trouble!" or "Jericho's gonna win this."
