For those who don't know what I am talking about I suggest you watch this Einstein match from 06 and how exciting it was before the match even started.

That excitement just wasn't there this year and the whole process seemed to be rushed

They were rushing teams to the field to sit there for an hour while an endless parade of speakers verbally bludgeoned the audience into unconsciousness and they didn't get any wake up call from any sound effects to let them know they actually started the match. Like they didn't want to wake them up. How considerate of them.
