Maybe the first hour will be on YouTube, like the PPV dark matches recently.

If this means:
Longer matches More matches More wrestlers on TV each week
Then YES.
If this means:
More drawn-out promo segments More recaps More video packages
Then NO.

Terrible idea. They can't even make a good two hour show, god forbid they attempt a three hour one every week.

Because it worked so well for Nitro.

I just thought about how horrified Creative must be now. I imagine things were bad enough writing two hours shows that went through constant rewrites; I can't even fathom how bad it will be now that they have to provide three hours worth of material.

They should just play an hour of Superstars and call it the first hour of Raw.

I rarely can sit through a 2 hour Raw without channel surfing a few times. This sounds insane.
Although I used to love that TNT wrestling show that went to 3 hours...what ever happened to that?

If this means: Longer matches More matches More wrestlers on TV each week Then YES. If this means: More drawn-out promo segments More recaps More video packages Then NO. I'd say it's 99% guaranteed it will be the latter.

That is 7 hours of original programming a week not counting PPVs and FCW.

Three hours on a Monday night is not a good idea. In fact, it's a horrible one.

Oh god, it's Power to the People every week isn't it? Dammit. Better get used to watching Mason Ryan.

It is hard for me to be optimistic about this. If the extra hour leads to longer matches and more guys getting meaningful TV time then it could work, but that would require the creative team to come up with an extra hour of material every week.
I wonder if they are going to start an hour earlier or end an hour later.

And Power to the People? This is going to be the greatest trainwreck in history.

I'm all for it. Not sure why everyone is so against it. There are multiple reasons it could be a good thing or a bad thing. Just like anything, really.
But more WWE is a good thing in my book.

Hey, if it means they get to use more guys and build more feuds, it can only be a good thing. Keep guys like Cena till the end and build the show up using the mid-carders and new guys.
Sounds good to me.
