A lot of their problem is they picked good "arcs" but just shitty parts of it.
Beefcake was peak comedy. But then they did a "Black Reign" arc and the issue was that while it was a funny insider, Black Reign didn't really do all that much and while Lockdown 2007 was a bad show, the rest were standard shows at the time. Still, shit like "AT THE ALAMO" made this not be as terrible, but I always thought they should've done MEM, because it keeps them busy for a year.
Then... they pick fucking Lex Express and have to sit through boring New Generation shows. They didn't pick Luger's awesome run to the WCW title in 97, they went for Lex Express which was more, "damn, nobody really wants this guy on top" than funny.
From that point on, they fell the fuck off.
