: Guess it has been beneficial for actual wrestling. Doesn't seem that way when you're watching live though.

Yeah, feels like we are seeing more Khali to be honest.

Yes, I do feel he had too little TV time...

Sounds very good, actually. When you're just reading the stats and not watching the show.

33 % ? :steiner:

Lol I was waiting for that.

 

[Dat Kid1]

Good for wrestling, but the entertainment value of the show initially hadn't changed up until recently.

SO CENA WASNT RECIVING AS MUCH AS AIR TIME AS HE DESERVED AND WTF THE GREAT KHALI!! HES ON EVERY FUCCING SHOW! HES A CANCER! ipebomb: This just drives me crazy

 

[Danielson]

I still wish they had more wrestling/less recaps

 

[Aids Johnson]

33 % ? :steiner:

I am one of the few dudes who missed Ryder here i think, he is really missing out and Fuck Slater.

Does feel like there's more wrestling recently tbh. We had stuff like Cesaro vs Ryback which wouldn't have had nearly 10 minutes on a 2-hour show, and we're getting 9 matches now instead of 5.

But it doesn't really matter how much wrestling we get if the matches have no purpose.

Recaps have reduced slightly I think, but I agree. It seems like every hour that will remind you what important thing happened earlier. I understand why they do it but it's incredibly tedious for those who stick around for the whole show.

RAW being three hours should be a good opportunity for more storylines, more build and a better wrestling product. WWE have completely abused that for financial benefits.

Great post, especially the second part. I couldn't agree more, and have nothing to add.
