Should Raw permanently be 3 hours
After much thought,
I realized that WCW had so much more to work with when they ran a 3 hour show unlike WWE. You're basing everything around a few segments. Opener, Divas match, tag team match, midcard match, mid card segment/match, main event. Should Raw be 3 hours? It'd give more superstars the opportunity to shine and give storylines more room to progress on air throughout the show. Around 7 pm central, I'm waiting for wrestling anyways, might as well! Or is 3 hours of wrestling too long? The Leader of The Adam Evans Fan Club! |

No.
Reason: Nitro did it. It would also fuck up my DVR. I wouldn't be able to record House and How I Met Your Mother if I was watching Raw at 8pm. |

There is enough wrong with the two hour program to complain about. We don't need an extra hour to say "well that was fucking retarded"

NO! While it is fine once in a while, if it was every week, we'd end up with more segments like in the Jerry Springer guest host episode:

Also, it pretty much is when Tough Enough starts, because Tough Enough will air before RAW.

Jerry Springer on Raw about 13 years too late. Wasn't he supposed to be on Raw for the whole Kane/Undertaker/Paul Bearer fiasco? I thought I heard that rumor.
I'm surprised they didn't get Maury Povich to be on Raw. He films all of his shows in Stamford, Conn. |

No, I think it would take away a bit from the PPV's, with those being 3hrs too.

No.
Aside from everyone whinging about "It'll mess up my DVR schedule", the fact is that we've seen this before. Instead of the "more, quality wrestling", we would instead get an even more skit-laden, promo heavy show with more "moneymakers" shoehorned in instead of the underexposed talent being showcased in the ring. It happened when WAR ZONE became a permanant part of RAW, effectively becoming a 2 hour show. It happened when Smackdown! came to be. The fans in attendance are pretty much already there for a 3 hour show. Special occasions and out of country trips are one thing, but to expect the fans to want to sit through "the Nitro experience" on a weekly basis? There's no way they could sustain hot crowds to look good for TV. |

I could deal with it if brand extension ended and the rosters were merged full-time. That way, they'd have a much bigger midcard and potential tag division to work with.
The influx of Smackdown wrestlers would allow another decent hour of Raw. And the influx of Raw wrestlers to Smackdown would cut down time on that show, so there'd be more use for the extra hour on Mondays. Otherwise, it'd be a stretch. They already have enough filler. |

No. By the end of a 3-hour Raw, the crowd is too tired to be excited.

If and only if we got more wrestling time. One of the most annoying things about RAW is that the wrestling seems rushed. Guys just don't get the time to tell a story, and sometimes they are just there to chew up time. If chewing up time meant a great wrestling match, then sure -- go for it. But it doesn't.
The way RAW is written isn't likely to change, so if they got another 44 minutes, and it was used to give Daniel Bryan more time to ply his craft, John Morrison to wrestle exciting bouts and the guys from Superstars to actually make the show -- then I would be for it. Unfortunately, what it would mean is that there would be more useless filler, comedy segments that just aren't funny, and random celebrity appearances to chew up time and look like idiots because they clearly don't follow professional wrestling. Everyone seems against three hours for RAW, but I think there is a way to make it work. That being said -- it wouldn't work. |

It would also mean scrapping Superstars' RAW contribution. But you had about a total of 19 minutes wrestling featuring RAW talent on that show. If you spaced out entrances and stuff, that could be beefed up. Then you give more time to the lower card RAW matches, which sometimes don't even clock three minutes. That chews up a surprising lot of it right there.
You could even feature some NXT stuff, to get that program over more. |

Raw should be an hour and that's it. Maybe back in the day when wwf was entertaining but now it's a pg rated shitfest.

3 Hours is too much. WWE won't do it, I don't think, because they realized that oversaturating their own market is a bad idea. WCW did it too. Choice is a good thing, but spreading yourself out so far can be bad because no one product gets the attention it deserves. WWE already have RAW, Smackdown, NXT, Superstars and now Tough Enough. More programming is not the way to go - BETTER programming is key.
