Let's be reality, 3 hour Raw > 2 Hour Raw

How many times do we need to be reminded in a 3 hour show that the Shield beatdown someone, or that Cena awkwardly kissed AJ?

Most wrestling fans just love to bytch, and they bytched about the 3 hour raw before it even started, so they're sticking with it. But then the`ll come on the net and rant and rave about the ratings of the show they bytch about.

I don't see your issue with this. People bytch about the 3 hrs because it sucks and its too long, then ratings come in and confirm that people arent watching like they used to because the show sucks and is too long. Makes perfect sense.

LastEmp you make a point but heres the problem. If i can watch 3 hours of raw for four weeks in what makes me want to PAY to watch the same amount of content on Sundays? To me it waters down the ppv concept by putting it on the same level as the regular TV show.

There's positive and negative in everything... I can deal with the negatives of the 3 hours because the positives will add to the product in the end. There's a lot of people that probably would not be getting the exposure they get now had Raw continued to be 2 hours. Also, the brand split is over and like I used to say before it ended, there's no way both rosters could be combined and NOT require more time on TV. I hate it being 3 hours because even when they did 3-hr. specials, it would become exhausting to watch by the end. That much time every week is a chore to sit through, but I would say the same even if the current product was incredible. And then on the flipside, if they went back to two hours, you can throw out the tag teams and you can definitely throw out people like Cesaro and Sandow (or really, ANYBODY) getting a shot to go out there and put on a quality lengthy match. They'd be back to putting on one match per segment, just so they could get everyone on TV.
