Bore-Way

Tonight is WWE's Fatal 4-Way event.

Yipee.

The four-person match is one of my least favourite matches and tonight's pay-per-view has three bouts featuring this stipulation.

That's three more than I'd like.

It's easy to see why I hate this kind of match - it's lazy storytelling.

When writers and bookers have nothing good to think of, their bag-of-tricks sometimes involves pulling out the four-man match. This way, they get four people involved in one story.

Basing a pay-per-view on this genre of match is the lazy booker's utopia.

It's on Sky Sports so I will be watching - on DVD tomorrow morning - there is no way I'm staying up for it.
