There have been some internal talks between USA Network and WWE officials about adding a third hour to RAW starting this fall. The general belief is that it will guarantee the network that extra hour of high ratings, thus remaining the number one cable network.
There is also talk about having The Undertaker and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin as regulars on the show, despite not being able to wrestle.
The WWE, however, hasn’t shown much interest in broadcasting three hour RAW’s each week. If they do decide to go that route, they will get a rate increase from USA.

I think this is a cool idea. Three hours Raw's are always good.

I'd love Raw every week from 8-11, they'd definatly make money off of it.

I think its a horrible idea
How are you gonna have 3 hours when you already have bullcrapass storylines that can barely hold my attnetion cuz they are so bad for 2 hour?

Sounds awesome. I always liked the 3 hr long raws that they produce every now and then. If they do go this route hopefully it starts at 8 and not 9.
Also I wish the would put Smackdown live on USA.

They should end the brand split if they were to have three hour RAWs. Or put a lot more people on RAW than SmackDown.

i dont mind it, but ppv's need to be 4 hrs. then. I'd be for that, but the only problem there is you know there will be a price increase in PPVs and I get all the ppvs but I dont know if they raise the price anymore if I can keep on doing that. lol. |

Perhaps they should use an extra hour of Raw to possibly push a few of the ECW storylines or something then.

Give ECW the first hour then, haha.
or, since they could afford it, have another show, and put all the RAW stars on it. Then have RAW as the all brand show. Very changing idea but... meh.

I could see how 3 hours of RAW would be a good thing. They could use more talent and have more wrestling matches. But, seeing as how it's WWE, they would probably fill the extra hour with useless crap instead of matches.

Well, the only talent they have left on RAW is Triple H and I can't see him having 3 hour matches every week...So that's a horrible idea, unless they finally drop the 3 brands and combine all the talent again under one brand.

Stick to two hours, 3 is way too much.
If anything,try and get another hour for ECW.

Give ECW the first hour then, haha. They'd have no turnaround time...no time to change the entrance, ringskirts, and ropes, etc. I said it before...if Raw started at 8, it would interfere with me watching Power Rangers. Which I've been watching twice as long as I've been watching Raw. Yeah, that's right, and I'm 24 years old. Wanna fight about it? If they want to give any show an extra hour, give it to ECW. Seriously. |
