Vince: "Ratings are down, so we need something to improve them, brother! Any ideas?"

Stephanie: "How about more Raw! That way we can get viewers at 8, 9, and 10 o'clock!"

Vince: "That worked GREAT for Monday Nitro! WCW's never been bigger than it is now in 2012, and it's all because of the move to 3-hours!"

*Stephanie gives Vince a cupcake*

Noob to the Creative team: "But... we only were able to plan 1 hour worth of content last week! drag out 3 segments last week... We had Big Show crying for 15 minutes and John Cena rambling incoherently for no good
reason just to fill 2 hours! And don't get me started on that Tripl..."

Triple H raises his hands, and a lightning bolt falls from the sky and hits the creative noob in the balls.

Another creative member: "That's a great idea! We can fill that time with more matches, and the actually talented wrestlers such as Hawkins, Reks, Kidd, and Mcgillicutty!"

Stephanie: "Or, we can have an hour long Make-a-Wish video in the third hour, because that will get Cena over!"

Sterilized noob: "But, trying to get Cena over is futile!"

Cena walks up and AA's the noob through a table.

Vince: "That's why I love you, Stephanie. You come up with such wonderful ideas!"

That is simply gold. Liked.

I've never laughed this hard over the internet before.

more time for the divas, more mic time from CM Punk, the Rock when he returns

It's cute that you think this is what will happen.

So happy about this more time to build feuds, more time for the divas, more mic time from CM Punk, the Rock when he returns

How I envy the naive.

3 hour RAW's are fantastic if it's drafts or RAW's before big big PPV's or a PPV with an amazing build up. A 3 hour RAW before MITB would have been fan-fucking-tastic. But unless there's two-four major story-lines at once, then it will be horrible. RAW consists of one story-line, the main-event. The rest, yes, even the WWE championship is filler.

-There needs to be a big story-line - most of the time situated around the WWE championship belt.
-IC title needs a well built up story-line every single feud.
-Tag Team division needs one or even two story-lines.
-Divas need a proper story-line.

Four different factors of the show to be interested in. Honestly, all I look forward to on RAW is opening and ending segments. The rest is just there.

Raw having three hours was probably USA's idea, I don't think WWE would want to do that right now.

Probably, but WWE needed to tell them to fuck off. It's not like if USA was dumb enough to drop Raw that 10 other channels wouldn't be clamoring to pick it up.

They should have told USA that. They wouldn't drop them just for that, but I think WWE values the fact that they have a very good relationship with USA and don't want to do anything to affect that in the slightest way for some reason.

If it wasn't for the discussion thread we'd all die.

Without it, we'd all treat it like Smackdown.

"Hey, Raw's on! So at 11:00 I can read a review of what happened and Youtube the parts I actually want to watch."
