It used to happen all the time when 2 out of 3 falls matches were common. Now that they are not, they want to build tension by having it go to the third.
I don't mind that in general, but when it happens more often than not, it takes away from the tension because people are waiting for it to happen. Conversely, many people would probably get mad if it didn't and say they person who lost was being buried.
Sadly, as much as I like the match type, there's just no way to please everybody. I'd actually like to see them happen more often so we could get some variety out of them.

Good knowledge there folks. The reason i asked is because i was just watching HHH vs HBK at Armaggedon in 2002 in their 2 out of 3 falls match and it got me thinking did anyone ever win by 2 straight falls otherwise the 2nd fall is too predictable. That is different. Triple H and Shawn Michaels never had a 2 out of 3 falls match. What they had was a 3 stages of Hell match. The difference between the two is that with 2 out of 3 falls the match is usually all contested under one stipulation and a 3 Stages of Hell match is contested with one stipulation for each of the falls. And there has never been a 3 Stages of Hell match where it has ended 2-0 as there have been only three ever and ironically Triple H has been in all three and having the record 2-1 . The first happened at NWO 2001 with the result being: Triple H - 2 (2nd: Steel Cage, 3rd: Street Fight) def. Austin - 1 (1st: Standard). The second happened at Armageddon 2002 withe the result being: Triple H - 2 (1st: Street Fight, 3rd: Ladder) def. Shawn Michaels - 1 (2nd: Steel Cage). The final occurred at The Bash 2009 with the results being: Randy Orton - 2 (1st: Standard by DQ, 3rd: Stretcher) def. Triple H - 1 (2nd: Falls Count Anywhere). Wait, what kind of match did Angle & Benoit have at Judgement Day 2001? I could of sworn it was a 3 Stages of Hell because the last stage involved a Ladder.

Might be off topic but I wish WWE did another best of five series

One of the best matches of all time-Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Triple H where HHH picked up 2 straight after Austin initially got the first fall.

lol 2-Out-Of-3 Falls and 3 Stages of Hell are the same.
Benoit and Angle had a Normal match followed by a Submission match followed by a Ladder match, that wasn't called 3 Stages of Hell. It's just two names for one match, the same way a No Holds Barred match is also a Street Fight, No DQ, Extreme Rules etc.
