Mid-Card Championship Winner
This isn't a critique of this years "Fastlane", but of all the PPV's, this seems to be the most pointless. Nothing really happens because for the most part...very little can happen...it's trapped between the Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania- two of the most important and prestigious PPV's- so the inspired booking and writing will be put into one of those. "Fastlane" is doomed to be built up using creative fumes. If a title is going to change, it will probably be at "Wrestlemania" or "Royal Rumble". If there's a big heel or face turn, or a major spot or plot development, it will either be at "Wrestlemania" or "Royal Rumble".
I don't get why the Elimination Chamber was pulled out, as even if it was just as predictable, at least the gimmick differentiates it from the rest. "Fastlane" is just filler and it will probably always be filler. So I think it should either
- Be replaced with Elimination Chamber.
- Be free every year, instead of pissing off subscribers by making Royal Rumbles and Wrestlemanias free. Free PPV's minimizes disappointment.
- Be taken out altogether and spend the extra time building up the Wrestlemania feud.
But what do you guys think?
