Raw expanding to 3 hours... permanently.

[Donald Trump_]

Good thing im in America where thats 8-11. I feel bad for you UK people

It's 6-9 where I live.

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

Yeah. WWE will be worth watching once again. Plus longer and more entertaining matches and more of the edgy Cena and more pipebombs. Maybe even a couple returns from Undertaker.

1am-4am. Come@me.

I think it'll be from 9-12 where I live... Not that it'll make such a difference, I'm never able to watch it live anyway.

You stay awake past mid-night just to watch WWE? Man you love WWE! :tagteammatch:

Yup. Despite my rants I'm a huge fanboy. If TNA were live at the same times on a network I can get I would for that too. Though both of them are pushing it atm, I'm not sure without a discussion thread that I'd even bother watching during this period. TNA has recovered (but then announce they sign Brooke).

It's amazing how dedicated all the Europeans are on this forum to such a bad product.
Very, very impressed. tunga:.

 

[Stopspot]

I'll :bury: 2am-5am. Just you watch.

Actually, RAW will be starting an hour earlier not end an hour later. So it'll be 5-8 not 6-9.:badass:

Having an extra hour doesn't guarantee the show will be any better. If it's not that good of one in two hours, don't see how adding an extra hour will help. It wasn't a good idea for Nitro, which Bischoff admits to in his book (he says it dragged on and overexposed the talent), I doubt it will be here. And didn't Vince once say he felt that 90 minutes was the perfect length for a wrestling show?

This isn't Vince's decision I don't think. I think it's USA. Vince did say 90 minutes is the perfect time.

Well, I'm excited. Whether it flops or rises this is the first truly Big change in a long time in WWE. Plus, Vince doesn't look like a push-over.

True but WWE did a lot of things better than Nitro. HHH/Austin/Undertaker/Kane, WWE made them better and succeeded where Nitro failed. This might be another success story.

I agree it was USA's idea, but they can't do anything more than make a suggestion or request. Vince ultimately had to sign off on it, and he should have known better.

 

[Snowman1]

Comparing Raw to Nitro is apples-to-oranges until people start watching TNA.

 

[Crayo]

Well I heard that the other 3 hour shows USA demanded to fill time slots or something. Who knows but this could make or break RAW imo.

 

[Leo C]

It was USA's idea and it tends to make Raw worse. We'll have to see if they get off their asses and start producing a good show or if they're so lazy they'd rather struggle to make a 2.5.
