Like I said in the past if Raw goes back to 2 hours and they end the 3 man booth I'd watch again. I'd probably start up again too. I haven't watched a Raw or Smackdown since April I think cause it's been so hard to watch.

The main thing I worry about, is the amount of talent they have on Smackdown and Raw at the moment, PLUS the talent in NXT when the NXT guys and gals come up if raw goes back to 2 hours there's so much less time to get everyone featured with all the adbreaks taken out a 2 hour show is more like an hour and a half.
As for McMahon possibly selling his part of the company? God I always assumed it would just be passed down to Steph Shane and Triple H, its truely worrying to think about some outsider coming in and owning the company...

Never will happen. In Vince's eyes while he's running things, if RAW goes back to two hours he'll look at it as a failure. He'd rather lose money than be proven wrong. I.e. Roman Reigns

People seem to forget, the word was that Vince had no intentions of going to 3 hours. It was USA that pushed for WWE to make that change. So one would assume they'd love going back to 2 hours if they moved to another network.

After really thinking about it, I hope FOX buys Vince out. As strange as it will be not to see a McMahon in charge of WWE, I think it’s the best move for the company. Being a major company with a major network, FOX would want to have the best product with the highest numbers possible, which means if they’re smart they’ll do what’s best for the company and appeal to what the fans want rather than personal interests. A big company with a big budget like FOX would be able to hire a good writing team and people who actually know what they’re doing.

I'm for the idea of it going back to 2 hours.

Fox buying, and having permanent, total control over WWE? No thanks. I loved the shows that Fox has produced, and aired over the last few decades, but I cannot stand Fox News, and the thought of WWE being associated with it? Just... No. Pass it down to your kids if you want to sell. Keep it in the family.

Can't wait for Sean Hannity on commentary.

No. Pass it down to your kids if you want to sell. Keep it in the family. Would it really be any different than the Simpsons or Family Guy being owned by Fox? Both Networks are essentially just owned by the same parent company. Fox News didn't have any effect on any regular Fox programming. If it did, then they sure as hell never would have made Lucifer (which you all should be watching, btdub). I wouldn't worry any it either way. I don't see Vince selling unless he gets a UFC-level offer and I don't know that Fox would pay that much. I could see them buying the TV rights though. And who knows, maybe a change of scenery would be good them.

I would, however, like for WWE to buy TNA’s/Impact’s video library, that they were supposedly going to buy in late 2016. Still don’t know what happened with that one...

TNA got new, financially stable owners that didn't need to sell it off... unlike the previous ditzy idiot.

Three hour Raw is good for the live crowd because your ticket feels like real value for money, but it's torture to watch on telly. I would gladly welcome the return to two hours.

It's torture for the live audience, too. Just listen to them in the third hour. It's a marathon. I went to Raw in November, and felt like the crowd's energy was pretty consistent, but what I did notice was that a lot of people left at the top of the third hour because kids had to get home to bed with it being a school night. It's a pity, because they're supposed to be a family show, but the length of it preclude families from staying for the full thing and getting their money's worth.
