Even if you love Punk, is Daniel Garcia vs. CM Punk a match you need to urgently watch live? I’m seen some people blame the taped nature of the show, but you really don’t need spoilers to predict what that is about. You know you can DVR or YouTube that.
I’ve seen people praise the formatting of the show. I think it is patterned now to the point people know they can tune out or just not tune in. I also think they are feeling the recoil of over-saturation and the ceiling they put on their acts with irony and addressing the meta.
I also think that the way they have presented Danielson, even more than the way they have Punk, has hurt them.
Easy to think in terms of “These guys are great! If we just show them being great, we’re going to be great!” without thinking about how you do it or how it all fits together.
