Since when did jobbers have entrances? Heck, remember the 80s, even part of the 90s where a show would come back from commercial and a mid-carder/main eventer would be coming to the ring and then when they go to announce the match all of a sudden the camera goes over to some jobber who magically got to the ring somehow.

I don't mind. As a previous poster said, it's a better option than match cutaways. Add in the fact that only a handful of wrestlers have worthwhile entrances, and you kind of lose the necessity. The lack of everyone's entrance music speeds up the pace of pre-taped Smackdown. With RAW, it lets the live audience stay alive more since the c-breaks aren't just breaks and t-shirt cannons.
I don't need to see Shelton's song or Carlito's loop every week. I don't. Taker? People want the spectacle. It's part of a Taker match. But most of the guys? Not really.

Wrecking Kelly Kelly's hotel room really did a number on the budget.

Well, the "jobbers" these days are guys like Jimmy Wang Yang and other superstars who aren't technically jobbers at all. And according to last night, Sim Snuka, Manu and even Rey Mysterio are "jobbers," considering they didn't get proper entrances. Rey started the show off already in the ring, but I guess they didn't want to do the fireworks entrance more than once for him, since he got a normal entrance for the 10 man tag later on.

I hate jobber entrances. On the bright side though, the guys who get the jobber entrance aren't jobbing as much anymore, which is a positive. At least if they're going to have them to save time, have them win once in awhile.
I remember when I was a younger (like, 4 or 5), the guy who came out second always won. So for such a long time, I could predict who was going to win based on when they came out, and usually I was right. I'm glad WWE got away from that, lol.

I remember one Raw where three matches in a row were given away because the losers were already in the ring (one was Kane/Big Show vs. Carlito/Chris Masters, whose fates were revealed before the match even started). As if their matches weren't 100% predictable anyways?

I like the ring entrances as much as the next guy. They pump up the crowd and are an important part of setting up the match but I think they need to find a way to trim them down a bit without losing the feeling. The tag matches with four main event singles wrestlers that they do are crazy. You have an entire segment of ring entrances, they ring the bell, one guy hip-tosses another guy and they go to commercial for half the match.
