The half pipe set didn’t last either I mean once Owens ran off it, it had served it's purpose

Around I wanna say 2006/7 WWE tried a fantasy league online. You’d draft wrestlers and you’d get points depending on if they won, they his a finisher, used a weapon. Can’t even remember if they finished the first season of it.

Can’t even remember if they finished the first season of it. I believe they did but it went out in a real limp. Looking at this thread; the worst thing you can do (especially recently) is less not have new ideas but give up on new ideas very quickly. Sure, 2/3 falls was terrible and made no sense but you know what's worse? Doing 2/3 falls and backtracking it right away. Either commit to an idea for your hundreds of millions of dollars TV show and market test the hell out of it or don't.

Remember the guest star year, when every episode of RAW would have a new C-list celebrity looking bored/confused as they half-heartedly shilled their latest product in some interminable comedy skit that Santino futilely tried to save? How many different ways did those guys mangle Kofi's name cause none of them could be bothered to remember it? He was Kobe Kingston and Kofi Johnson. Don't forget Summerfest

Remember when they kept spamming 2-out-of-3-falls matches? How about the weird superimposed PNG era of SmackDown? When everyone was doing cellphone promos for some reason? That two weeks when Raw's third hour was gritty or whatever? i think the 2 out of 3 fall spamming had something to do with people complaining about matches being interrupted by commercials all the time so this way they'd finish a fall then "fall number 2 begins right after this break"

And he still does it by just having weird reasons to pause matches during commercials

I thought that's why rest holds or throwing someone out of the ring were typical commerical spots

Like they did for a short while I mean, they do it for NXT with the commentators even acknowledging it, so it’s not like it’s forbidden.

Like they did for a short while I think the first time they did split screen during commercials was when Smackdown went live on Tuesdays on USA.
