I feel like I've said this too many times, but the defense for that third hour is they get paid a lot of money for it. How much money do they sacrifice by having such a watered down and gentrified product, though? The creative problems were there before they went to 3 hours, granted, but we haven't seen a WWE that have had a 2-hour Raw with a unified roster since 2002, because I think they started the "Supershow" crap back when there were still a brand split in 2011.

That's merely a technicality, but god damn it -- end the roster split and cut your content down. If you need to release the Andre the Giant Battle Royal talent to save more money, go ahead and do that too. I'd consider cutting SmackDown too. There was demand for it in 1999/2000. Now it feels like they put out the show because they're obligated to.
