TV-14 again please 
I couldn't watch RAW live. Three hours is way too long to do on a weekly basis. PPVs are fine.
Storylines suck or are non existent.

The show is just stale at this point. They need to reformat Raw to fit a 3hr format and their current roster.They need to stop hot shoting every fresh matchup they have and use more angles and enhancement matches to build to events.

The show sucks. The roster is trash, the writing is awful, and it's an hour too long. I am surprised the ratings are as high as they are.
i remember those days wwe actually thought they were going to banish monday night football
now they

Are people ignoring the massive fukking elephant in the room that is the Network here?
Personally, I've pretty much stopped watching Raw and Smackdown (ok, I rarely watched Smackdown anyway) now that I've got the Network as it's so often just rushed filler leading towards a PPV - if Raw was advancing storylines over multiple months then it'd be worth watching, but right now it feels like it's only there to allow you to tread water until the next 'real' show... with all the Network'd PPVs over the last couple of months (that I can watch whenever I like and not have to sit through ad-breaks) and the quality of the NXT weekly show there has been very, very little motivating me to go out and watch the broadcast WWE shows.
WWE either need to drop television altogether and move Raw and Smackdown to the Network OR they need to start putting in some serious effort to revamp the weekly shows with regard to story telling and longevity of angles. They probably do need to be shorter episodes, but they also need to look at the sort of entertainment people lap up these days - long, complex, twisting and occasionally shocking storylines over 10-20 episodes like Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, The Wire etc - WWE need to break out of the four-week build format and let some storylines take entire seasons or even longer to build up... people WILL and DO tune in every week for that. At the moment I often feel like if I do get round to Raw, it's out of some feeling of obligation... not the sheer THIRST I have the night before a new GoT episode.

That's why the Daniel Bryan storyline was successful, they played that shyt out till WM. But I would like if they could put together a Wrestling show that I can watch from beginning to end. With RAW being 3 hours long, i feel that they take an unofficial halftime show during the show. Not to mention a 3 hour infomercial and bytchfest on commentary.

This is exactly what happened with Nitro when they went to 3hrs, 2hrs is the perfect length for wrestling and it helps keep storylines from going stale.

It's not even football season yet. It's going to get a whole lot uglier 
Like others said, the talent is there but the writing is horrible. Just peep the rusev/lana/summer/dolph angle. It's hideous.
I still watch because of the coli fukkery
