8. 24/7 Can Work

WWE's current 24/7 Title model is lame and played out. Some fans likely enjoy it, of course, but Twitter often blows up with criticism after episodes of Raw today. Those parkour segments Reggie works just don't cut it for those who remember Crash Holly's genius back during the 'Attitude' era.

Such skits are proof that 24/7 can work.

So, what was different? For one, Crash was an endearing underdog babyface who realistically scurried away from rivals and did everything he could to stay alert. The WWF's creative team also came up with fun and inventive scenarios (the Gerald Brisco sleeping bits are still a riot) that played to everyone's character strengths.

It's some laugh to watch guys like Brisco and Pat Patterson f*ck around backstage trying to take the Hardcore belt from Holly. The less said about their King Of The Ring match, the better though. At least the stuff on Raw was a gas.
