I hope they go back to 2 hours. Too many recaps, commercials, and we still get the same matches. No Ambrose, nothing! Only 2 matches were exciting.

  Yeah, I do not want to watch all of the recaps at least 3 times every week. I am watching the show…I don't need to know what happened a half an hour ago!

RAW will be back to 2 hourse by January. I actually would prefer it to be an hour and a half but there is too much money to lose there.

  Why? Is it because you bedtime falls at the hour and a half mark?

The show wasn’t bad, it wasn’t last Weeks but not bad. I think they had some good matches and strong ones not just some threw together ones. I have no problem with the three hour Raw and I hope it remains and people stop complaining.

Thats pretty dam good considering the Olympics.

  Interesting point, actually kind of surprised nobody else pointed that one out.

The olympics is cleaning up ratings everywhere at the moment.
Raw will need to squeeze alot more into 3 hours to make it worth staying up for in this country.
More matches is my first thought, push some more talent, wwe is aware it lacks main event talent but never gives anyone decent air time.

When a billion people watch the Olympics, you bet some of those are WWE fans, me, that's why I have a DVR, watch Raw live and Olympics on DVR (or just earlier in the day if they knew how to schedule)

There are only Olympic reruns at that time of the night… the live action would have been finished hours before RAW started.

I have not watched a single bit of the Olympics

Surely 95% of us Brits tape (or DVR as you know it) raw, as 1am to 4am is late!! Though I’m assuming these ratings are US viewership.

I’ve asked this before with no answer, but what does any other typical show get ratings wise?? As a comparison with wrestling shows??

Wow, so you're losing one hour of sleep one night a week. I think you'll live.
