How WWE Just Saved One Of Its Worst Ideas EVER
It took a fourth man to make whole something that still felt too flawed to ever work, but the missing piece wasn't the brilliantly useless Dominik Mysterio. Not yet, anyway.

'The Game' had a tremendously low bar to clear, and did so with ease by snatching quick wins out of Drew McIntyre uttering the word "wrestling" on a wrestling show and human beings being given their first names back. But few could have predicted what a job he'd do of rescuing an act most rational minds had rendered beyond saving. He was forgiven for plenty, and one of those things would have been just dropping the group cold and resetting completely, but heads were put together and everybody instead elected to take the much harder challenge of repairing the damage.
