I labeled AEW as a minor league, second-rate promotion as early as a month or two ago. I was dead wrong.

Gotta own up to my garbage takes. I've been so amazed and fascinated with the AEW product recently. It has me excited, and I can't wait to see what they come up with next... especially if Bray is on his way there.

Rampage needs to be more than an hour. Move it to a different day if you have to, but there's just too many great talents to contain it to one hour.

I’m happy you seen the light, it’s why I tried not to get to mad at you. :bosque cause I knew you come around.

AEW has pulled off things many companies probably wish they could do. Despite what Vince says, or even Roman says, WWE probably wishes they could’ve gotten Punk back. AEW is making moves and it might take some time, but I think this past Friday, will be a moment we look back on in the future.

1 hour is good for Rampage. We don't need every show to be long. They do have a lot of talent, but 3 hours to me is more than enough time to book for a week.

2 hours of Dynamite
1 hour or Rampage

Dark always changes. I’ve seen 45 mins I’ve seen an hour and some odd minutes, seen over 2 hours for it. Lots of time to showcase all types of talent.

Awesome to hear those words Pat. I'll rather keep Rampage at 1 Hour though for now maybe in a Months down the line you bump it to 2 hours and see if it blossom further.

I wouldn’t be mad if they did specials and they was longer. Kind of how Raw use to be(I didn’t mind the odd 3 hour Raw here or there) I could probably accept Rampage going two hours tho.

Yeah I might start only watching WWE during PPVs from now on. The weekly shows are frigging killing me. Def going to stop watching Raw. Smackdown isn't as bad.

Rampage at 1 hour is perfect. The limited time means they have to use their time more wisely. Look at how 3 hours of Raw has panned out…..so much time to fill, so much garbage….I’d prefer they stay to 1 hour, doesn’t make me tired of it.

Yep, 1 hour is perfect. Sometimes it feels like it goes by too quick, but I'd much rather have that problem than feel exhausted sitting through 3.

Speaking of that, I fully expect WWE and FOX to try and extend Smackdown to 3 hours to try and fuck with Rampage. If that happens, I think they should move to Saturdays and 6 or 7 pm. 10 on Friday is already a bit late for some people, and going back to those Saturday night, TNT roots would be awesome.

To me AEW will test this for awhile then go from 9-11 and compete with Smackdown’s second hour. I think fox can’t move past 10pm because of local news.

I could see something like this in a year or two actually also. But I also agree w users above, one of the things that makes AEW so great is every episode feels jam packed and non-filler so going longer could impact that. On the flip side they have a lot of stars and getting more, tough balance coming.

Yeah this is true too, if they were to do a 3rd hour of SmackDown it'd have to be on FS1 or some shit and that'd be disastrous

They're also doing two Dark shows.

I'd personally cancel the Dark shows and give Rampage two hours, but as long as they use the most of rampage, it's good.

I do think Rampage will remain exciting at 1 hour as long as they book most like the first week with mostly big matches.

Keep the smaller matches on Dynamite since it has two hours or put them on Dark etc. Keep Rampage the main event.
