Jericho made an excellent point in commentary, in an article I read today, where he said that, in earlier generations, wrestlers worked the indies, in different countries, and had years of experience prior to joining the E.
Point is: Longer matches would definitely help develop younger talent with less experience. Then again, shorter matches hide weaker talent.
A Bellas match should be short. Mason Ryan-Ron Killings could have gone longer. I'm interested to see how well Ryan works. I've seen some of his FCW footage, but it's a bit different in the E.
Considering the "no grave can hold my body down" lyrics in the Johnny Cash song, this "2 21 11" thing definitely regards the Undertaker.
Michael Cole seems to be working a more heel persona, tonight. And that's a good thing. Sure beats his usual bi-polar commentary.
