I'm sorry, not trying start a thread to bitch here. But my god! The fact Raw has been 3 hours is already pointless but going off at 11:15pm when the show started at 8! Why??? Its almost embarrassing because the content itself is not even entertaining. If you are going to write a crappy Raw, keep it within its time frame is all I'm saying.
Remember when that extra 5 or 10 minutes used to mean something? Now i feel like WWE just does this every week to put its own self over. To get it across that which ever angle is ending the show, its stakes are far too high go off the air as scheduled. Lol!
Rant done.

I care more than they ended the show with Rusev and Mark Henry when they could have ended it with Lesnar and Cena

It was really excessive.
The main event segment was a shocker too considering who was involved.
Henry/Rusev imo should not be ending any episode of Raw.
Thank Jesus for the FF button and then the Stop and Delete button.. -_-

You make a valid point.
I don't get why they decided that Rusev-Henry should end the show... Does anyone care about that "feud"?

I woke up from a nap at the end of Raw and saw Henry/Rusev was on at 11:00. I was like what in the hell? lol
I ranted in the Raw thread but long story short, if your part time champion is available for TV that week then you put him in nothing else but the main event spot. Im sorry but your WWE Champion Lesnar should not be taking a back seat to a mid-card match at best at NOC.

I think they did the
Cena segment mid-show to try and capture Monday night football viewers during halftime...
Cens made it even more blatant by calling it the 'halftime' of RAW.....I think they should only go over 11 if it's a match. Especially for the title. It's crazy to do it for a
Bella segment or something like that. The only time a promo should close out the show and run over time now is when
Sting shows up.

Yeah. I found it to be really odd that it ended with Mark Henry and Rusev. Had no idea it was finished till the huge W Entertainment logo appeared, then I was like, "Huh? Thats it?".
It was a pretty poor RAW to be honest. And the Brock/Cena segment ended up being pretty underwhelming. No doubt, it would've been better if that had ended the show instead.

I don't see how it was "embarrassing". Seems like an overstatement, just saying.

I feel that if a three hour Raw is going to go 15 minutes over, it should be for something big, not Henry/Rusev. I wouldn't call it an embarrassment, but it wasn't very good.

this is the first time I've seen the majority of WF in unison re: the pacing of RAW last night.
Really the product isn't on par with previous expectations and they have a full 3 hours, there's no excuse to go over another 15 minutes. It's not a bloody 4-hour PPV.

I agree that the show is bland and doesn't need to be over 3 hours but you guys are really upset about Henry ending RAW? who cares who ends it? This just proves you guys want the same ol guys over and over again getting the spotlight. If RAW is good it's good, if it's bad it's bad, but the order of things don't matter to me at all. they can end the show with Heath Slater vs Fandango for all I care.

Vince does that kind of stuff to entertain himself.
Everyone can complain about the ending of Raw, or the fact that it was over 3 hours long, but he knows that everyone will still continue watching the PPVs and watching Raw each and every week.
If you really want to complain, just don't watch the product. Simple as that!

I found it funny that Cena gave Heyman until "halftime" of the show to get the Beast to the arena... at 10! I'm sorry, but wouldn't "halftime" of a three hour she be an hour and a half in, thus 9:30?!?
I channel surfed most of Raw (that Jericho / Kane match was one of the absolute worst and an insult to wrestling fans) and turned it back at 9:30 to see what would happen. Nothing! I surfed some more and then came back to Raw at 10 to find the Cena / Lesnar segment... I was sure they'd push that to the end. Same old crap with Cena and Lesnar pushing each other around... knowing that nothing legit was going to happen til the PPV. I turned it to something else and decided to just try and catch the end of Raw because I was sure the Lesnar thing would somehow continue to end the show.
To my dismay, there it was at about 10 til 11... Mark Henry and Rusev! What?! How in the name of all that is holy could that... THAT... end a show?! Mark henry and Rusev?! Henry is one of the most boring performers of all time as it is, and this worn out Rocky 4 Russia vs. US thing is played to death, so that combination just spelled disaster! If it wasn't for Rusev's gal pal's legs (sorry, can't think of her name at the moment... that's how involved I am with THAT whole story line) I wouldn't have even stopped my surfing on Raw. She does have some nice legs... am I right?!
Anyway, Raw is just bad nowadays... Just plain horrible. I believe the only things I have seen worth the time in the past couple months has been that Rollins / Ambrose match that saw Ambrose leave after his head was "put through some cinderblocks" and the Jericho Wyatt match from last week. I think Raw has really suffered since going to three hours every week and sure as hell doesn't need to stay on any longer!
They should just cancel the lackluster, lack of real entertaining talent (Did anyone else catch Rollins' interview...?! Wow!) Raw and show some episodes of the WWE Network's Monday Night War shows that they have been airing. That's at least entertaining and shows bits and pieces from a time when wrestling was actually fun and at its peak.

If you really want to complain, just don't watch the product. Simple as that! that's simply not true. first, i highly doubt that vince intentionally screws over his loyal fanbase for the sake of amusement. it's one thing about pushing one guy or pushing another guy, but to intentionally sabotage your own product for the intent of putting it to a select minority is just frankly absurd. if vince knows exactly what his viewers do as you'd propose, than you'd wonder why the network has notably not gotten near the level of success they'd first been inclined to thinking while ppv revenue is still notably decreasing? |

yet they cut 15 minutes from every ppv... That's so if something runs over we don't get a repeat of WCW's Halloween Havoc 98. Where they go over and the crowd at home doesn't see the main event and they have to refund everyone. |

Technically
With Smackdown being 2 hours and Main Event being an hour, Cena coming out at the end of the show with Heyman was "halftime"
