Well the show was boring and pointless as fuck besides the contract signing. Nothing significant happened with Punk right?

I thought when they added an extra hour things were going to start picking up, I was wrong they just added 5+ advertisement breaks.

 

[Aids Johnson]

Getting closer, and closer to that 4 mil mark. So sad, the commercials are insanely long, there are actual parts where it's commercial, recap, commercial, then 2 minute squash, followed by recap.

3 hour raw is shit so far.

 

[Rysenberg]

Probably folks choosing to record it instead of watching live with all the ad breaks I reckon.

 

[Stopspot]

But in all honesty. If the crew working on the show doesn't have faith in the 3 hour format of course they won't try their best and make it fucksuck.

So where are they all going to go now....

So where are they all going to go now....

Knowing Vince and his ego, he'll stick with 3 hours until he runs it in the ground, then he'll finally go back to 2 hours.

So where are they all going to go now....

WWE: It is well known that they all (Vince and Hunter included) want to get back to 2 hours and predict to be so by the end of the year.


The viewers?: TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA! (Like the marks would ever find their way to spike :haha: )

but we can be hopeful they at least give it a shot, but even i will be missing TNA once sunny and the league start.

Hopefully this makes them buck up their ideas. I would love to know how much control WWE have on advertisement breaks though.

I would love to know how much money they receive from all these ad breaks, must be worthwhile.

 

[Crayo]

Quite a lot I imagine, lol.

 

[Big Hoss Rambler]
