It is just a series of dangerous spots that aren't getting a huge reaction because they have no story.

What? Harper is the unstoppable monster who dominates the face but because of Ziggler's heart and the chants from the home town, Dolph continues on.

Maybe Luke Harper will kill Dolph Ziggler, then his spirit will rise up out of his body like in a cartoon and grab the title?

dolph ziggler is getting absolutely slaughtered and makes the occasional comeback because he is smaller and the babyface. It's fine it just has lots of huge bumps and weapon spots

This match is already significantly worse than matches on the indies where crowds actually chant please don't die. I'm not sure I like this.

I'll enjoy it once both men have left the ring under their own power and we know there is no lasting damage to either of them. Right now all I'm seeing is a bunch of legitimately nasty falls and hardway blood and I've no desire to see people actually get hurt.

Yeah, it's simpler because of lazy booking but the performers are doing well. They're getting across Harper as a monster in his own right.
