PPVs may get longer after the brand split; possibility of NXT roster being raided

[R=G]

Seeing how Reigns been having the best matches the last few PPVs, audiences wouldn't mind

But he hasnt though. The AJ match but thats about it.

 

[Golayitdown]

There are rumours that Smackdown is going to be 3 hours like raw is. I'm guessing they are making pay-per-views longer because at times raw's can be longer than ppv's.

It would be wiser to go experiment with Raw and Smackdown being 2 hours instead.

Exactly.


There's more memorable content from the Attitude Era with two TOTAL hours of new content a week (then 4 when SD came along) than there is with the 6+ we have now. The length of the shows isn't the problem because Raw already tends to drag along consistently at the midshow point .

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

Nxt gotta send off roode, aries, nakamura, samoa joe.

Raw gonna take the hit greater with the brand split. They can hardly book a 3hr show with a full roster at their disposal.

Smackdown upgrading off gp.

I guess extended ppvs means more piss breaks.

it's not supposed to be good

@mrken12 Looks like you & timmy got some common ground

Not sure how to feel about that.

 

[mrken12]

The only reason he looked good was because he was wrestling A.J. Styles. A.J. carried both matches from start to finish.

that WM32 main event was a disgrace

He was having good matches before AJ Styles. The WM32 main event was awful because Triple H was past his prime and the crowd wasn't feeling either one of them.

it was awful because of the pace, heated rivalries should not have a slow build up match

HHH had good matches with Ambrose and Ziggler in that same period.

 

[RammerJammer]

They're probably gonna bring up the NXT guys that have been there a while like Balor, Bayley, Tye etc...

 

[Bob Loblaw]

HHH had good matches with Ambrose and Ziggler in that same period.

That's what's puzzling. Either they have bad chemistry or are two dudes that need to be led to a good match. I know what I believe and what history tells me

 

[richaveli83]

It's too much as it is. 3 hours of wrestling plus 30 minutes-1 hour of the preshow is enough.

 

[Paper Boi]

he has 80 to 90 talents at the WWE Performance Center ready to make the jump to NXT.

 

[Da King]

It's too much as it is. 3 hours of wrestling plus 30 minutes-1 hour of the preshow is enough.

Who's forcing you to watch the pre show?

 

[Jmare007]

Roman going for that Wrestler of The Year :roman:

The Ambrose match was underwhelming as fukk imo
