Using the 24 example from earlier:

Act I: Jack finds out there's a nuclear bomb somewhere in LA. The entire act is gathering clues to find the bomb.

Act II: Side plots involving secondary characters, all the while Jack gets closer to the bomb.

Act III: Jack figures out where the bomb is, rushes in to save the day... But there's no bomb. There was never a bomb. Not because a terrorist left a misleading message so he could blow something else up. There were just no bombs. Heh heh whoops. Roll credits.

After watching that, don't you wish they would have spent the first act of the episode dealing with something that was actually happening? Or do you think that first third of the show was worthwhile because in the end, LA doesn't blow up - even though he didn't actually do anything?

That's not a waste of time, that's a shitty story. A waste of time implies that the time could have been better used (assuming we'd all be watching these two hours of Raw no matter what. I think we all agree our time could be better spent than watching wrestling). So how could that time have been better spent?

The answer to your last sentence lies in your first: Tell a better story.

Additional draft picks - preferably ones that stick until the end of the night.
Extreme Rules hype?
Extra time for the matches they already booked?
Maybe we could see the other co-number-one contender for the World Title before the main event?

Pick one.

there's nothing inherently more entertaining about any of those options

lemme ask you though, if Cena had cut a heart wrenching promo about how much he loved Raw and how he could never see himself leaving Raw because that's his home and they really really really pulled at your heartstrings, and Miz came out and shit all over Cena saying he'd never get his chance to face the Miz ever again, would you have been ok with the switch back to Raw at the end?

Oh wow. What's that expression that these hip, cool, ironic, internet trolls use?
