One of the big reasons why it drags is 'cause there's like 31 advert/commercial breaks.

Yes and cut final hour, not the first one. Let it end earlier.

Please yes.
I usually DVR it so I can FF through it, but last week I actually tried to sit down to watch it... ugh... by the time 9:00 rolled around I was like "there's still 2 hours left of this?!"

Personally, I'd be in favor of them going back to the early RAW format with squash matches and one featured match. Everyone today is totally overexposed, and there are almost no fresh match ups left that will draw big PPV ratings.

No. What they need to do is cut all the recaps and tout crap for more matches. exactly and since they wont do this......... I voted yes.

If they did cut an hour and go back to 2 hours they'd probably cut the hour of actual wrestling matches.

Everyone today is totally overexposed, and there are almost no fresh match ups left that will draw big PPV ratings. I don't think they could get away with the squash match format, but they need to do something. Because last month they tried to sell $40 ppvs with a 15 minute Orton vs Ziggler match, when Orton and Ziggler had multiple 15 minute matches over the three weeks before that. They definitely need to cut down the pointless long matches somehow, it's absolutely ruining the appeal of every combination there. There's almost nothing saved for ppv any more. They drive everything into the ground. Kofi vs Miz should have finished at Hell in a Cell and yet they keep wrestling each other every week until everyone's sick of it.

Usually fans (like myself) would like to watch as much WWE as they can...but people whining and moaning about "over-exposed" shouldn't even be called fans...people that love the product should welcome these changes. Its like you people think its a chore to watch nowadays.
Maybe if its so untolerable to watch, maybe watch something else since WWE ain't for you.
WWE won't revert back to 2 hrs just because smarks are whining and complaining...WWE is making ad revene, USA network is making money...if ratings are to their liking, the 3 hr format will stick.
Here is a recent article that states how much extra WWE are making on these new shows and additional hr of RAW:
Yea, WWE won't be changing anytime soon...additional $18 million dollars a year...a company would be stupid not to go ahead with that.

So we're not "real" fans because most of us don't want to watch an extra hour of a currently crappy product?

Well yes. If I was a fan of Ben 10, I would welcome more of it. If you hate something, you're not really a fan of it.

YES! YES! YES!. I was all for the extra hour, and thinking about all the ways they could use it, by putting over guys that don't get chances, and having more ENTERTAINING wrestling. But all we've got from the extra hours is the same guys not being featured, and more wrestling for sure, but more BORING wrestling. Seriously, Zack Ryder for example. There was really no room for him on tonights show? He's over and is obviously a guy they can build into a more serious superstar but they just say "meh" I felt bad for Ryder, he was blowing his twitter up asking for RT's to be at SS, and you can tell he really wanted to be on that team and have a chance to be featured.
