Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted May 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 17, 2012 Brilliant! This means those Sheamus promos will get an extra five minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polish Dad Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I don't see this helping them at all. Some weeks they struggle to fill two hours with meaningful stuff. Also, since the PPVs aren't getting any longer then you'll end up with a bunch more midcard matches that go nowhere, because there's no room for them on the PPV.

Paid Members Lefty Posted May 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 17, 2012 It can only mean the return of one man: Â Â Who else can hype up a 2nd or 3rd hour like our Tony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhenom Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 What? Is he having a giggle? They barely have enough interesting stuff to fill 1 hour (with commercials as well). That's gonna be a right drag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrestlingmad Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 That's the date for the 1,000th episode right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderBag Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Not a fan of three hour shows. The only time they are enjoyable is when its for a special occasion and they bring in a load of ol' timers or run a few gimmick matches to shake things up. The way the talent roster looks now, adding a third hour is stupid. Everything will be thinned out, God knows how many recaps we will have to suffer through... this will be wank.

Paid Members WeeAl Posted May 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 17, 2012 Oh for God sake. The 3 hour Raw's are awful 9 times out of 10. As others have said, they just can't come up with enough interesting content to fill the time. Unless they thought that SD! was going to lose it's channel again, but that's unlikely. I'm suprised this is happening at a time when the ratings are lower than they have been for year's. Financially I guess they must be getting more from sponsors for the longer show.

diamond_dust Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 With all the stupid decisions WCW did why would WWE want to copy 1 that was so obviously crap even the company who thought letting Russo hold its title and having Ric Flair discharge himself from the insane asylum could see it was a mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted May 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 17, 2012 Mental decision, if true. The 3-hour episodes are nearly always shit. Even two hours feels like a bit of a drag most weeks.I'd welcome slightly longer undercard matches and I'd like to see an influx of new characters, but a three hour episode every single week is overkill.Only positive will be the 1am start time, which means I'll be far more likely to watch the first hour or so live, which is always fun if people are in chat.

ozzfan Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Oh please God no. They can barely book a 2 hour show, let alone a 3 hour one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Up Chuck Posted May 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 17, 2012 Whenever they did the last 3-hour one, I almost gave up on it. I could actually see this putting me off completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
