Solomonster answers a question from a listener and gets into his thoughts on why adding a permanent third hour to Raw, while it might make the company big money now, may be doing more damage long-term than it’s worth.

  1. I grow up watching WWF back then but now… F**k WWE & F**K nostalgia , I'm watching NJPW! KING OF SPORTS!

  2. It wasn’t just the third hour fans have been slowly leaving since 2001 and it’s getting worse now John cena’s burying untalented ass chased away so many people too and now with Roman reigns overrated terrible ass and the fact they only book the top guys (was cena now reigns) strong and don’t give a shit about everyone else no rotation go watch other great wrestling promotions who actually listen to the fans and use the talented guys properly and not this garbage that’s been garbage since 2005

  3. Nobody on this roster including cena is even in the same stratosphere with guys like Austin, rock and hogan. Cena is the closest and there isn’t anyone now even close to him.

  4. I gave up watching WWE tv. I only watch the ppvs now.

  5. Austin and Rock are better than The Shield no matter what. Natural charisma. The Shield has none of that. They fooled us in 2012. Now they've been exposed for how boring they are

  6. I genuinely think that if the show was better, people wouldn't complain nearly as much about the length. I honestly don't remember people complaining about Nitro making the move to 3 hours back in the day (honestly, that was part of the appeal because they started an hour before Raw and it gave them more time to add popular things like the luchadors) The problem is that a 3 hour show has to be great every week or it becomes a chore to sit through.

  7. Raw really has gone downhill since before the move to 3hrs. In my opinion, it's been bad since late 2008/early 2009 and it has gotten worse. I quit watching entirely in 2016 and haven't looked back.

  8. WWE is pretty much a Jan-April show for me since 2015 and I'm pretty sure a lot of people are in the same boat. Remember when Sting showed up and they did over 5 million views? I remember back in 2012 when 3.3 million was a low rating. Now they can't get past 2 million.
