THIS IS SO BOLD SHIT! AND NOT TRUE GO BACK TO 2 HOUR NOW!

Please elaborate and post source. It's easy to see that we are getting more an longer matches. Can you please elaborate on how it is "bullshit".

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.

Instead of recaps, we get 9 minutes in the first hour of videos on how to download the WWE App.

Yes, someone timed that. +1 for being right.

That was seriously unbearable. Anyone know why they are pushing it so hard?

I think Vince is flip flopping on the whole social media thing and how to implement it in the show. A couple of weeks ago they had a twitter bar that showed wrestlers and fans tweets in the bottom of the screen. And the WWE ap seems to come and go because last week was the first time I remember hearing it plugged in months apart from a quick "oh remember to get the WWE AP". So it seems like Vince pushes it in periods...like his mid card.

Like his tag-team, yeah.

Vince: "Oh, look, we're hip, we're cool, we have these cool little smartphone apps too... we do the twittering and have Youtube shows, shoot, we even have our own social media place! We're in tune with the current generation! Come watch us, kiddies!"

Vince would fit in well at Disney corp.
