Monday's edition of WWF RAW highlighted what the problematic impression of a stale product comes from: not the fact that the wrestlers haven't changed, but that the storylines chosen haven't.

Look at the 3-way tag-team match: the Hardy Boyz will face the Dudleys for the straps at Smackdown.

Now, both teams have put on some excellent matches in the past - but we've now seen the Hardys / Dudleys / Edge and Christian as the only people to wrestle each other regularly. There are no permutations of these teamings not done already; we've seen them all..

Last year around this time, pundits raved about the WWF having their best tag division in years. Now, because of overusing the same match-ups ad nauseum, it no longer does.
