Word on the street is that ALL PPVs will be five hours long starting with Backlash

I don't care about the endless Usos push.

I don't care that WrestleMania is extra long, it's fine. I have people over usually and we will be eatin food and shyt and chillin during the kickoff in and out of the room. The other PPVs though.. they don't need to be that long. That's a chore.

And that's the way it should be. It can't be that way for 12 Sundays, not for Battleground and Extreme Rules. Leave dual-brand Sundays for Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania, MITB, Summer Slam and Survivor Series. Once every 10 or 11 weeks, 5 times out of the year. That old school feeling.

That's when you need all day to cook, and have friends over. That's when you break out the grill, or crockpot and make a dessert and popcorn.

Who's winning the Rumble? Who's getting a Wrestlemania moment? Who's winning the briefcase? Nobody wants to spend their Sunday evening in July watching a 5 hour Battleground show.

Leave brand exclusive PPVs for weekdays. Pick up a pizza, order chinese, chipotle. For that night condense RAW or SD to a 1 hour pre-show, and then 2 hours on the network.
Do Extreme Rules from Hammerstein Ballroom, jack up the ticket prices for that.

A 5 hour dual-brand sunday show, followed by a 3 hour Monday Night RAW and a then Smackdown is too much every month.

With the amount of hours you have to watch to follow this product, it's no wonder they can't create news fans and are basically living off our generation (25-45) still. And what was the climate when most of us became fans? A one or two hour Raw, an hour weekend show, and if you were really hardcore, maybe you watched the OTHER weekend show full of highlights. And a PPV every month that was either 2 or 3 hours but that also in a lot of cases could be skipped. Esp the 2 hour IYH shows.

Breh, if it wasn't for Twitter, TSC, and The Lapsed Fan, I would be in the dark with what's going on wrestling wise. It's getting to the point where I'm good with just some highlight vids, gifs, and cliff notes because I can't sit through the shyt without it being background noise:francis:

A Mississippi Cotton Field
That was during the magnificent seven group of Flair, Jarrett, Steiner Bros, Buff & Road Warrior Animal
They had a funeral for Nash after Big poppa pump beat him in a 2 out 3 fall match if Nash lost he had to retire at superbrawl revenge


:patrice: Flair and Jarrett in the same stable? I dunno, cuz. Seems like crossing the streams in Ghostbusters

Brehs do realize that they don't have to watch entire shows? I just watch what I like and skip the bullshyt I don't like. Raw has been 3 hours for years, but it's only gonna take me a little over an hour to get thru and entire episode regardless :yeshrug:

Yo!!! I thought that was just me!!!

When I do watch RAW...... I literally get through it in 20 mins.

I don’t even watch the matches no more unless I hear “such and such had a great match”
