Nah, before that you had Stybar, Niels Albert, Sven Nys, Bart Wellens all dominating for one or more seasons. CX is just different from grand tours as typically the strongest ones win (barring technical issues). It's also only 1 hour so if there was one boring race, next one might be exciting again.
CX is more about the party in the tents anyways rather than just the race ;)

Well it's only been like this since the emergence of MVDP and WVA right?
That's about 5 or 6 years. There's been a bit of Lars, and Tom muessen didn't really get as big as he should. And the early stages of this season have featured Iserbyt, Sweeck, Van Tournounent (I've had a drink). But MVDP and WVA are incredibly dominant and miles better. And when they get into it, it's hard not to find it interesting. They absolutely smash themselves. And it's great watching the T2 cyborg that is MVDP getting cracked by WVA.
