Nothing lasts for longer than a day or two in WWE discussion now, and that's just the way they like it.

Never more financially well off despite an obvious drop in quality from previously successful years, WWE relies on everything being disposable in order to justify next week's episode being just as a throwaway. Everything's digital now, but the old adage of today's newspaper being tomorrow's chip paper applies to the content we all consume even if its on a screen or device.

Case in point - Bobby Lashley fell out of the ring in April, there were multiple shots of it thanks to phone cameras, and it's already gone away.

Everybody was lucky here. Lashley somehow controlling his fall despite having zero chance to brace himself spoke to his athleticism. Drew McIntyre's possible (and unfair) guilt was assuaged by 'The All Mighty' avoiding injury. The ring crew responsible for tightening the ropes that night had their blushes just about saved. And none of this looks all that becoming of the billion dollar wrestling company - or it wouldn't if anybody remembered.
