Crowbarring needless interruptions into otherwise successful matches and segments is another Bruce Prichard hallmark marring WWE's current direction - and we got two of them last night.

The first was R-Truth running in to try and snatch the 24/7 Championship from Shelton Benjamin during the VIP Lounge segment. Later, Akira Tozawa and his stupid, sh*tty ninjas tried to do the same while Bobby Lashley was wrestling Mustafa Ali, rendering an already stodgy bout even worse.

These things adding nothing to their segments, so why bother? Cramming as many people on television as possible, maybe.
