Seriously, I can understand somebody might be watching for the first time. But it's OK to just refer to an event in the recent past without replaying the whole thing  |

Ever noticed how quickly you can get through a Raw when you're taping Raw and can forward past
- regular commercials
- WWE's commercials (upcoming DVDs, PPV encores, WWEShop, etc)
- The "Moments Ago" replays that play when they come back from commercial
- The Slam of the Week
- The WWE Rewind
- Wrestlemania recap, promos, spots, etc.
Funny how quickly a 2hr show can be done in about 30mins. And if you feel like forwarding the inane Hornswoggle and Coach segments, you can be done with the whole show in the time it takes to have a shit.

My favorite part is when they have a long commercial, then come back and do some recaps and advertisements for the PPV, then go to another commercial. That's just pure concentrated win.

Seriously, if you add in entrances and the "OMG (Insert Wrestlers Name) IS WALKING TO THE RING!!!1~ bits they add in, you get through RAW in like 45 minutes to an hour |

Yes it is very annoying, and here in Canada we get a 15 minute recap show before Raw starts everyweek.

Big Show and Mayweather recaps are at least 15% of every show.

Watching Raw and Nitro on 24/7 I can usually get through both shows in an hour and a half.

Moments ago recaps should all be done split screen style.

Well...I remember reading that WWE felt that 90 minutes was the proper amount of time for a wrestling show, so maybe they just fill the rest of the time with recaps.

The thing I hate more then anything is something that seems to have just recently been happening much more often.
You have a wrestler in the ring talking about his opponent his feuding with. He says something about what he did to him last week and then says "take a look" and we cut to a recap of it.
I can't f***in stand that. It's just so stupid. Just let the person talk about it instead of throwing it to a clip we've already seen.

I almost never watch WWE or TNA live. I DVR it and watch a 2 hour show in 40 minutes tops. There have been Raws that took me under 20 minutes to watch.

The WWE should do a show similar to Sportscenter to do all of their shilling and recapping.

And so, to recap this thread: Seriously, I can understand somebody might be watching for the first time. But it's OK to just refer to an event in the recent past without replaying the whole thing |
