Yeah, I don't really disagree, but a few noteworthy counterpoints:

1) It's a little weird because it's pretty much JUST the F5 (with a few minor exceptions), so while it does build the move up, it also tends to chip away at the guys succumbing to it at first glance.
2) If you are building up/protecting a finish, I would argue that a World Champ vs Champ match at pseudo-Wrestlemania would be a time you could get away with a kickout.
3) I don't feel like they're doing a great job of selling that the F5 is in a class of its own if they're not going to do anything with #1. Given how much they wedge shit like "the one time a year where Smackdown and Raw go head to head in competition" they should be able to verbally sell that there's a reason ain't nobody kicking outta that.
