I don’t watch WWE anymore but man did I hate 3 hour long shows. It’s just too much time to commit in one sitting for me.

Doesn't help that the show going an hour longer brings zero expectation of more wrestling at this point in time.

I am being facetious but I fully expect maybe 1 more match and an extra 50 mins of promos, video packages and Snickers/Slim Jim ads.

i like how raw is three hours and in every preview you always see just four segments announced, one of which is a match that you've seen a thousand times before

The extra hour is 100% geared towards ad revenue.

So nothing has changed since I was 7? I remember watching the full shows airing on TV and you'd see mostly just the wrestlers talking shit to the camera, maybe with a sidekick maybe just Randy Savage messing with coffee creamers, until the very end when they would have the main event and it was a short, 5 minute match.

As a kid, I just wanted to see the fight. As an adult, I actually wanna see the stupid story line setups for the match more. 🤣

Probably too busy fucking the US in its arse to find the time.

Wrestling fans often complain about 3 hour shows, but most sprts are about 3 hours on T.V. you can't want a more sports like presitation and then not like this.

Then again you have Banna ball...
