Ok well tbh, how can anyone judge what happened with the explosion angle? No one knows what would have become of that, he had to bail because one year ago today, Benoit Benoit'd his family and shit. So there is really no base to say that it was a shitty storyline because we have no idea what was truly written up. I mean look what you have, sure it may have been shitty, and it was totally set up, but look at all the different angles.
Vince was screaming for HHH and HHH was there yelling back, and Vince who is always on RAW and now HHH is on SD...
Taker could be involved, anyone could be involved. It was a way to get rid of the money give aways. I think its funny, and TBH, I watched tonight, well before I had to go to work, but I watched last night because of the Draft. Now im going to definitely watch SD because of HHH, and now this McMahon shit, and I am definitely going to watch as much of next weeks Raw as I can as well. And the PPV this weekend, it could have a big effect on the PPV.
Let the marketing genius name Vince McMahon work for a couple weeks on this storyline, and then see where its at. I am not saying it is going to be good, but the past few BIG storylines, have gotten derailed by murderers and failed drug tests. So if you look at it through that spectrum, all the Attitude Era days were free from that shit, and for the exploding car angle to get a 4.1...Maybe you should give these BIG storylines a chance to unfold and actually see where its going, before you say that McMahon dont bring in ratings, so really both of your claims dont have enough evidence, because sure they werent long enough to actually say that ratings went UP, but in the same regard, the storylines either came to abrupt halts, or had impromptu endings that everything had to change.
So lets hope that this angle can finish as scheduled, and then talk about whether it was a good idea or not.
