I dunno, I just think people expect too much sometimes.
What was the last angle from any company (WWE, TNA, WCW, late-era ECW) with a WWE-esque structure (weekly shows building to monthly megacard) that had build that truly delivered in the end? Possibly Jericho vs. Michaels?
Either the format just doesn't lend itself well to that sort of thing, or else the entire industry is just incompetent at it, or possibly in this day and age with so many more fans bouncing ideas and opinions off of each other constantly it really dilutes the effect of anything that's not world-shattering like Punk's promo.
