#4 Show-long storylines
One of the best examples of a show-long storyline occurred during the Invasion storyline in the early 2000’s, on Monday Night Raw episode 425. This episode placed Stone Cold Steve Austin spending the evening at the Friendly Tap Bar in Rhode Island, drinking beer and contemplating his role in the “War” with the Alliance.
Austin was shown in the bar multiple times during the program with the payoff coming in the main event when Stone Cold made his return to the WWE and handing out stunners to numerous members of the Alliance.
Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?
On present programming, usually once a Superstar appears on screen, they are finished for the night, leaving a lot to be desired in the storytelling aspect of professional wrestling.
