I think it's kind of a rip off to have all these qualifying matches at house shows. I know WWE does this every year, and I know I am generally more biased towards wanting to see matches on TV rather than talking, but the Royal Rumble is the one PPV that truly gives WWE the opportunity to have a bunch of good televised matches that legitimately build to the PPV. For instance, on RAW for one of the past two weeks, I would have rather seen a quick Drew McIntyre & DH Smith vs. Carlito & Santino qualifying match, rather the seemingly dozens of backstage Hornswoggle and Vince skits. WWE has imposed this tradition of qualifying matches for the RR, so since the matches have to be done, and they do build up the PPV, why not have them, all of them, on TV?
