>feels like a lifetime ago, to the point that the unsanctioned gimmick feels like one tacked on to heighten the significance of the match rather than being the next logical step in the feudThis is literally every single feud. The only time it somehow escaped this curse was MJF and Punk. Other than that, even the more logical escalations to gimmick matches feel like hotshots because they slap gimmick matches onto absolutely fucking anything. There's literally a 4 on 4 brawl booked on the same PPV when a simple tag would've been more than enough and not overshadow this match happening
