I thought the Brock/RVD feud had all kinds of possibilities and the crowd thought so too. Evidently Vince didn't... RVD is from ECW right? Thats what I thought, too.
The biggest thing contributing to the lack of ratings and interest now, though, is that the WWE has gotten back to how they were before WCW. Raw is now only used to build up PPVs, and its getting more and more obvious that this is the formula they are using. Remember when world titles changed on Raw? That doesn't happen anymore. Without competition the WWE has become apathetic and is content to use their TV shows as commercials and hype machines for their PPVs, and people are catching on. No one watches the TV, because they know that nothing really big is going to happen. Goldberg was unveiled, but did he wrestle right away? No, they held off until a PPV.
The WWE reached their heights because they treated almost every Raw like a PPV, because they had to beat the competition to survive. They need to get back to that mentallity, or we may see them seeing audiences like those in the early 90's again very soon.
