I'm just wondering does anyone actually watch the full 3 hour show live every week (or most weeks)? I used to, but this year it got to the point that the shows just seem so stale that I had to start using DVR. It seems to me that they have too many pointless matches every week on Raw that all go on for far longer than they should. I think back to the Monday Night War and matches were quicker (heck even 2002-2006) and they meant more. Nothing seems to happen that is can't miss on Raw anymore and segments are so rare that it makes it hard for a lot of talent to get a chance to shine and show some personality.
I did not mean to turn this into a rant, but I miss looking forward to Raw every week. I think we need less matches on Raw and more segments, because 90% of the matches we get on Raw are longer than they should and are just not important.
So back to the question how do you watch Raw?

I usually watch it live and threadhead it but I tend to not end up watching the whole thing.

I usually don't get home from work until 9 or 930 so if I'm not going out I'll catch some of it but I mostly just read the results. Or I'll watch clips online if something cool happens.

No, I don't watch it anymore, except when Brock's around.

Of coarse I watch it live in it's entirety.

If I didn't watch Raw live, I'd end up watching it on my DVR and skipping through 80% of the show every week.

I watch it on Tuesday after work. I find Raw impossible to watch live. The frequent ad breaks, the time it's on, and the repetition of the same boring, long matches are a toxic combination for me.

I try, I never really succeed anymore though. I lose interest about halfway through.

Yes I watch it all, while going on my phone during boring stuff. This. I've literally never paid attention through out the whole 3 hours.

Nope.
I start watching the show about mid way through because I DVR it. Then I can FF through all of the BS (commercials, replaying of video packages, bad divas matches, etc.)
Usually, I am caught up live leading into the final segment or just as the show has ended.
I don't understand why more people don't do this, especially the ones who feel like 3 hours is too long. I'd be pulling my hair out if I had to commit 3 hours to pretty much any TV show, so it's much more enjoyable to watch said show in half the time.

I watch RAW live when I'm not working. If not I'll DVR it or just read up on it. If the RAW thread didn't exist I could see myself watching a bit less of it live.

I've started to watch it on Tuesday's after work. I used to watch it live, and still would if I could - I'm just too tired by the time it comes on!

Nah, its too late here in the UK and adverts seem to happen every 5 minutes; its just unbearable, and thats not even talking about the content itself!
I dont think I could ever watch a current Raw full; 3 hours of recaps and just so much pointless segments or matches that last WAY too long, just not worth it.

I live in Germany and I've only seen like 3 or 4 episodes of Raw live. This was however when I was on vacation in the US.

Living in the UK, I watch it on record after work on Tuesday. It'll take me about 90 minutes to watch.
I don't mind the match length being longer, but it does annoy me when it's of a pointless combination of wrestlers. Or a giveaway of PPV calibre match up.
