Snitksy's apparent homosexual crush on Heindenreich. -Unexpected happenings (i.e. Angle/HBK, Snitsky/Taker/Kane/Heidenreich) -Good storyline progression and interesting angles. A third reason - Some decent bumps (i.e. Taker on Heidenreich, Show on JBL, Snitsky on London) The actual QUALITY of the wrestling had little or nothing to do with the overall enjoyment experiencd by most fans To be continued.......

IMO - those were the main reasons why the RR was so good. So - why did Raw kinda suck tonight? Here's my arguments:


-Not enough backstage skits. More "mystery" and "intrigue" should've been devoted to the 'who aired the JBL tape?' thingy.

-LONG and BORING matches. This is the biggest thing IMO. The marks don't WANT to see long matches! Period. Save them for PPV's......when the matches have strong storylines behind them. After last night, I'm *CONVINCED* that a large reason why the "Attitude Era" was more popular than the current era, was because there was

a) More unpredictable (like last night's PPV).

b) Intriguing skits (like last night's PPV).

c) More emphasis on storyline progression and character development, rather than focusing on high quality but boring matches.
