What is the point of "sending the crowd home happy"?

[thedamndest]

Back in the Attitude Era when everything in wrestling was so much better than it is now, there was no issue with sending the crowd home happy. If it made sense to end an episode of Raw with the Rock decapitating Austin with a chair, that's what happened and that made for good TV. Having every episode of Raw to end on a high note is very Walker, Texas Ranger, very A-Team. If you look at what else is on TV, nobody tunes into the "episodic" shows like Lost, Sopranos, or whatever else is on TV because the hero beats down the villain with a sledgehammer every single week.
