The WWE needs to do a better job of building up storylines for BIG PPV Events

Agreed.

One thing I've noticed since 2005 (the occasional time that I do watch), is that the WWE seems content on going through the motions.

I agree with what you say about RAW, but I think the other shows inevitably suffer as well. The truly hilarious thing, is that RAW is supposed to be the Flagship of the WWE...but is probably the worst of the three shows....largely due to the fact that there's a suffocating main-event bottleneck (usually centered around 2 or 3 of the following: Triple H, Cena, Batista, Orton).

ECW and Smackdown ultimately fail because anyone on the show that shows promise is ultimately moved to RAW....where they then usually end up becoming victims of the glass ceiling. Once their credibility has been ruined on RAW, they either stay 'dead' on RAW, or they get shipped off as 'damaged goods' back to Smackdown or ECW.

In the end - Batista, HBK, Cena, Orton, Triple H, and Undertaker remain your biggest stars.....with Edge walking that fine line between legit. World champ and transitional champ. Every now and then, when the WWE are bored, they'll throw in the likes of Jericho, JBL, and Show as transitional champs. Same old same old since 2005.

It will be interesting to see what becomes of CM Punk and John Morrison.
