No plans for two hour RAW

[Crayo]

- There are currently no plans for WWE to bring RAW back to two hours each week. WWE officials like the extra money they’re making each week and they are looking at more hours of TV and more rights fees each week. That’s where WWE is focused on growing their business right now – not live events or pay-per-views but TV and rights fees.

If they keep producing TV like they have been since Payback and there'll be no complaints from me.

i hated it quite a bit when 3 hours kicked off again, but im honestly cool with the 3 hours. They just need less replay's/more storylines. I wouldnt be upset if the pre-show ended up being an hour.

Well, it makes sense business wise, but if they want more TV they'll probably get more meaningless shows that won't make a difference, as far as lenght goes Raw is as bad as it gets, so no way things get worse there. They need to figure out how to book 3 hours, they've done good three-hour shows before, just have to get consistency there. And I'm not even criticizing at this point, recently they've been doing well overall.

Disappointing news, but I can see the need to make up for PPV buys being in the toilet the last 3-4 years or so (Wrestlemania and the Rumble being the only real exceptions.) I hope they start to get burned out with the three hour format and give up the last hour anyway. I mean, there is a such thing as going overboard. They could have Raw being five hours each week if they wanted and they'd still come out ahead in profit, but they won't go there because that's just too long for a show to write for every week. Hopefully, they have a similar realization with Raw being three hours (especially since they haven't made Smackdown three hours yet either.)

It's not that I want them to do something productive in the 3 hours, it's just that 3 hours is way to much each week.

Exactly. No matter how good the show is, and no matter if I'm watching live or the next day (especially live) there is ALWAYS the point where I think to myself "Fuck, how much longer"

I don't mind Raw being three hours, never did. Quite honestly i prefer it to the two hour version because we get to see a lot more of everyone as where before the switch Raw was very Cena dominated. With three hours it doesn't seem like the show revolves around one person. Yes, some of the booking has been bad, but it's not like it wasn't bad when it was two hours, the only difference is that there's more of it. They've gotten used to it now it seems though as the product has made notable improvements since about a year ago.

3 hours is too damn much.

 

[DK JAMES]

Dammit.

 

[CrayJ Lee]

If they utilize their time wisely, I don't mind Raw being three hours long. It's just when they spend more time recapping things that happened the week before instead of developing new storylines and rivalries that it irritates me.

Bad news..
I guess we are gonna have to get used to this, but they should at least produce a good 3 hours like they have been doing since Payback.
