4. Can We Skip To The End?

Did you ever read a book or watch a movie and just wish you could flip the pages or fast-forward to the end so you know how everything turns out and you don€™t have to suffer through a boring story? That€™s how this entire €œGolden Truth€ storyline has played out.

The courtship of Goldust and R-Truth has been painful as hell and should have culminated months ago, but the writers keep figuring out ways to stretch it out, and not good ways. Now we have two teams, Goldust/Fandango and R-Truth/Tyler Breeze, with the tandems apparently facing off on Smackdown. On Raw, however, we got a one-on-one between Fandango and Truth, with Truth pulling out the victory in a nothing match.

It€™s so brutal that even the announcers openly mocked it and the €œbig€ tag match on Smackdown, with Michael Cole calling it €œbigger than Iron Man versus Captain America.€ When your own paid shills are mocking the product, then you have a really bad product. Period.
