Raw and smackdown moving to 3 hours in 2025

[HollywoodP]

Well in theory this should be a good thing. You should get longer segs...more drawn and thought out storylines...you'll probably get more wrestling. More talent being used. More opportunity...maybe more experimenting.

It doesn’t matter if the shows are booked poorly

They have the roster on both sides

There’s no need to call up anyone from NXT specifically in the men’s division because it’s bare bones right now

As long as the creative is there, people are booked correctly & if there’s significant story for most involved shows should be ok no matter how long they are

I wouldn’t be mad at it. It’s not 2010, they’re killin shyt and everyone is over

*except for H's Make a Wish kids (Gargano, LeRay, Kross)

No live wrestling show that’s not a ppv or ple should be longer than 2 hours imo.

 

[LastManStanding]

Good.

2-hour Raw has been trash. way too rushed.

glad they're going back to 3-hours now that WWE has been cooking.

I think fans underestimate how hard is for anyone to come up with compelling stuff for some many hours a week for extended periods of time. And wrestling companies have a real bad habit of letting the same person make the final booking decisions for waaay too long. How they can't come up with a system that lets people run with their best ideas for 6-12 months and then others do it while the first guy gets time to reset and come up with new shyt is beyond me.

Nah, I'm good on that.
