RAW got a 1.88 rating last night...

Smackdown just seems better shorter show outside of AJ and part time Cena main event scene is trash I want an AJ v RKKKO feud later though

Ratings are always bad this time of year, there isn't much they can do.

Raw remained under the 2.0 mark in back-to-back weeks for the first time in two decades going back to the mid-1990s.

WWE has to really think if that extra 3rd hour is worth the extra ad money. Especially if the ratings keep reaching record lows.

USA was the one that wanted that 3rd hour. It's not like WWE can be like "hey, we going back to 2 hours", they need the co-sing from USA.

What if the ratings get below a 1.5 lol.

A couple of months ago it was "What if the ratings get below a 2.0" .

When Vince takes that dirt nap, someone is going to consolidate it.

Might just kill the TV aspect of it all together

I actually hope it continues to dip I want wwe to fix these creative issues they have had for like a decade now where everything seems planned scripted and boring would like to start watching again i really only watch major ppvs now.

It's not the ad money, it's the money USA pays them directly for the right to air RAW. And they'd be giving up tens of millions by giving up that third hour

Edit - 1 hr is worth 50 million a year

True but these are the worst in a long time.

wrestling in the public eye is declining a lot.

 

[Silkk]

Show wars and trash product aside, 3 hours is way too fukking long for a weekly wrestling show. I cant even make it through a 3 hour Nitro on the network straight through.

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

If Raw keeps it up, USA might take it back to 2 hrs. Which would be a good thing.

If anything USA will suggest going 4 hours
