I have big reservations about the Raw 3 hour show, because you can bet your ass they won't fill it with wrestling!
Expect more ad breaks, as well as lots more "this is what happened earlier tonight" segments and puke inducing guest stars!
Guess we will soon find out. lol

Wrestling has become a bi product of ad revenue in the WWE, the wrestlers are only there in between, to keep people tuned in to the sponsorship and ads, which has become their best earner.
That's why the creativity is so often lacking, the corporate boardroom doesn't care a stuff so long as shareholders see a profit somehow! :thumbdown:

They're no longer hungry like TNA is to do better.
Thats why we need TNA to be really successful!

to be fair, most of wrestling these days is about the drama in between as everyone knows its fake! Its what makes its enjoyable for me at least...

While I agree wrestling is staged and scripted, I take issue a bit with the word "fake" in that context?
There can surely be no denying the level of fitness, timing and acrobatic skill needed and shown by wrestlers in the ring?
Or the fact that injuries are very real, with many of the best moves being painful to execute, even for those executing them?
It may be well paid, but it takes a great deal of commitment to perform almost every night to big audiences all over the country and the world, where every move is closely scrutinized not only by the live audience, but by all the cameras taking close up shots to send out all over the world?
No its not a real arena of gladiators where blood and death is the name of the game, we should be glad of that, but it is a hard job to do entertaining millions of people with your physical prowess, scripted or not!
For that entertainment value the wrestlers in all companies earn my respect!
