Another Three Hour RAW

[Troy]

The 12/12 Raw from the Norfolk Scope in Norfolk, Virginia will be a three hour broadcast

This is in addition to the three hour RAW the week before Survivor Series. This three hour RAW falls the week before TLC PPV so it gives them an extra hour to build for the PPV.

I expect The Rock there.

 

[Prodigy]

I'm kinda sick of 3 hour Raw's now. Really it takes away a bit of a specialness from the PPVs as they're no longer giving the exclusive extra action in the WWE.

I don't like three hour shows unless there for a special reason such as Rock coming back or raw roulette

 

[TheZig]

The special 3 hour shows never seem to be useful towards storyline builds, They always have pointless segments and at times a celebrity promoting something.

 

[Tapout]

Looks like the Slammy show to me. 12/12? Usually around the time they do the Slammys, so it makes sense.

 

[rcoot93]

that would make sense, but I wish they would get rid of them as they are a waste of time as they choose all the winners but one, on which the kids vote for cena

 

[Troy]

I don't mind another longer show as long as it has a purpose and isn't just a regular RAW with an extra hour. This is before Survivor Series so it is the perfect time for a three hour RAW to use it to sell the PPV and get more fans to buy it.

 

[Prodigy]

But it still takes away the specialness of a PPV being longer. If they're giving 3 hour shows for free it certainly wouldn't encourage me to shed out my money for a paid for 3 hour show.

 

[Troy]

But on that three hour RAW you don't get to see the big matches. You mainly get talking and some brawls to set up those matches even more. You pay for the PPV to see the matches booked and WWE rarely give them away the week before for free on television.

 

[rcoot93]

three hour shows will turn the auidiance off unless theres something to look forward to or big matches as I can't see people watching soething to the effect off a three hour long advert for a PPV

 

[Troy]

The 11/14 Raw in Boston, MA will be themed the "Rock Reunion Party".

I can live with this. It is the week before Survivor Series and focussing on The Rock's return to the ring is easily the best idea. Should pop a good rating even for a three hour show.

 

[John McHenry]

But didn't we do this for his birthday what the hell is it a reunion of?

 

[Troy]

I am pretty sure it is the exact same thing that they did for his birthday but honestly with the current product I don't mind them focussing on The Rock a couple of episodes each year. He is still the best on the mic and he will be more entertaining than most of what they put on television.

 

[John McHenry]

All for a Rock focused episode but why claim it's a reunion and do a rock this is your life type bs for it. Let him come on talk shit be guest gm or something.
