What was the best period of the WWE in recent years? It was when Benoit, Eddy, Mysterio, Edge, Worlds Greatest Tag Team, Angle, etc were working the mid/upper mid card and having great matches.
WCW, same thing. When they were hot, the mid card was always great. Jericho, Benoit, the luchadors, Eddy, etc.
People pay for the main event, but the mid card is where you build up the next set of main eventers. It shouldnt be a place for Mark Henry to waddle through awful matches. Nobody cares about Dolph Ziggler and his rest holds.
I'm ranting.
