I haven't been able to put my finger on what has been missing in WWE but what's missing is "INTENSITY"
Did u see James Storm near the end of that match? HOLY **** he was just destroying those guys and it felt "REAL" Matt Morgan seemed genuinely pissed off in that opening.
Orton beats up HHH's wife and in the match NO intensity at all.
It's hard for it to be as intense as they (WWE wrestlers) seem to be wrestlling each other EVERY month. The big match feel is lost here at least in the upper card. I'd say that UT-HBK did a good job of being intense since those guys didn't wrestle each other.
Orton-HHH wife had zero intensity because the crowd doesn't care about either person. I remember Steph being really annoying when she was on tv and I think Orton is being force fed to the audience like Cena.
Regarding TNA, finally they got rid of Don West! Dude was like nails on a chalkboard. I might actually be looking forward to the next TNA PPV since it most likely will feature entertaining wrestling for the majority of the PPV. I can't remember when the last time that's happened.
