They were focusing more on the sport/competition part with guys like Benjamin and Haas ( I still think their name should have been "Best Damn Tag Team, Period", kinda like the foxsports show), and those matches were getting tremendous response from the crowd. Did management get tired of the style and move back to the entertainment mode?

Yeah. Ratings were lower than expected, and they felt that more of an entertainment aspect of the show would bring in higher numbers.
