I’m not sure how I feel about it. If they really use that extra hour like he says they would, to showcase other talent. Then maybe it’s okay. But I rather have a few 3 hour Specials, over always being 3 hours.

Yeah it’s not easy to book 3 hours. It’s just not good for a permanent thing.

Hell no.

AEW don't need to have a three-hour show to impress us. Please don't let it happen.

Historically not a good move from a fan's standpoint bc the product tends to suffer.

Does show that TNT is enjoying their progress though which is a good sign

I hope they don't do this. Sometimes it's a slog to get through Raw, I don't want to feel like another wrestling show is a slog to get through.

Please don't do this.
A lot of the shows fly by just fine for the 2 hours time slot.

The only way I can see this working is if they make the first hour its own thing and simply put Dark on tv. That way its not "must watch" but is still there for those that want the three hours while giving the roster the exposure it needs.

What I will say is, I don't believe that 3 hours in and of itself creates a poor show. I think you need to be looking at the writing situation behind it to see why Nitro failed (too many cooks & Thunder ) and Raw has gone down hill (one senile old cook & Smackdown).

I wouldn't put it past AEW to be able to pull off a 3 hour show, but I'd prefer it if they didn't (part of the reason I stopped watching Raw was that its so, frickin, looooooooooong......).
