WWE RAW 3 hours?
- Dave Meltzer reports that there is talk within WWE of making RAW three-hours each week if TNA moves to Monday nights for good. There has also been talk of keeping the guest host storyline booked if TNA goes to Mondays.
Apparently the USA Network is high on RAW going to three-hours but Vince and Stephanie McMahon are both said to be against it. Word is that this is something being talked about a lot among some in the company. (Not reported by Ryan Clark) |

3 hour RAW could be okay without the guest host bullshit.
But because of the guest host bullshit, FUCK BONNIE HAMMER. |

You'd think this could be a good thing because it will give the tag-team and mid-card divisions a chance to shine but in reality it will just be sixty more minutes of midgets and divas eating pie or something.

I hope they make it 3 hours and keep bringing old guys as guest hosts, so someone dies on live TV. RATINGS.

Remember the 3-Hour RAW's they did in 2005 and 2006? Not sure if they still do them but even that felt like overkill and that had stuff like Austin returning, Triple H returning and HBK/Angle III.

3-hour Raw's would really hurt considering it demeans the value of a monthly 3-hour PPV.
So if they plan to do that then would they look at 4-hour regular PPV's and a 5-hour Mania?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! This is MADNESS!!! |

Maybe 3 hours on the "Road to Wrestlemania" would work but after that they should go back down to two.

RAW's a turd. DX is just corn and nut pieces in said turd.

The crowds will be super tired by the third hour of RAW and it will definitely affect reactions. PPV's are fine at 3 hours because they are normally more exciting and keep the fans interested throughout whereas RAW will have tonnes of shittiness that will kill the crowd by hour two.

The crowds are too dead with two hour shows lately. How could they be better with another hour of [potential] crap?

I really don't think the move to 3 hours is an issue. WCW Monday Nitro proved that with a deep roster, filled with both great wrestlers and big stars, a 3 hour show can be a gigantic hit.
The problem is that the WWE is still booked like shit. It's still PG-rated, heavily scripted, and as far as RAW is concerned, extremely fucking unentertaining. Moving to 3-hours isn't going to change that. Only a shake-up in the way they're writing RAW and a change from the bullshit PG rating will make RAW a better show. The fact that they are planning on KEEPING the guest host gimmick if TNA moves to Monday nights is proof that they have no intention of changing their terrible SNL-like format. Whatever. I may start watching TNA on Monday nights if they switch. It feels more adult than the WWE's product. |

Bad booking and writing and the stale quality of the RAW main events makes this idea worser than it should be. |

Based on how little actual wrestling there is on raw, I actually think this isn't a bad idea. At least we would get some longer matches and everyone would get more tv time. In some cases that could be. Considered a bad thing

Wonder how many times in a 3 hour show they would pull the "We're gonna have a mega super awesome match right out of the gate folks!" only for there to be interference which sets up the main event at 10:50pm?

It sounds like USA will have the final call on this, whether Vince likes it or not. But geeze, I'm tired of hearing that WWE is not concerned with TNA and then finding out about all this stuff they could be doing to counteract a ratings struggle with them. Could someone in this business please just tell it like is for once?

Vince: I'm not concerned with TNA at all but if they go to mondays we're keeping the Guest Host thing we do and continue wasting money.
TNA: Their ratings don't go up with the guest host. Idiot Vince: Shut Up! It's all about the money. TNA:................................wtf |
