Does anyone else feel like watching Raw is a chore? Like, I can't stop watching because I love WWE so much. However, I soemtimes dread Mondays, not because of work, but because of Raw.

I had to stop watching RAW for a good long while last year. I think if you need a break, it may help.

Yeah, I've felt this way too. Also the fact I even skip Smackdown now for the past few weeks.
Hopefully, when it moves to USA it will be booked as important as Raw.

I'm eternally grateful MNF starts up again in two weeks.

Raw's been a chore to watch since the Invasion, dude. We just watch for those few moments every year that reaffirm our faith in this company.

I bailed by the end last night because it was just boring, but it's just a television program, if you get bored of watching it then just take a break. Get your wrestling fix by watching some classic stuff instead or something, I don't understand compulsively watching a show that causes you to feel dread.

I'm burnt out on it right now, so I'm not watching. I just found the show was putting me in a really negative place. Chikara and ROH have filled the void expertly, though.

IDK, some weeks seem to go by faster than others, but the first hour and a half last night felt more like 4 hours to me.
There's something to be said for starting the show off with a fast paced, high energy match and heating the crowd up for the rest of the night, instead of these cliched main eventer promos. The main problems seem to be the pacing of the show and the Groundhog Day storylines, matches, and promos.

No. I enjoy watching Raw and it makes me like Mondays.

Maybe this is worse, but every week I'm excited for Monday, even if the show's been crappy. Bad wrestling is still wrestling, and this place makes bad shows fun sometimes.

I record it since I'm in the UK. I can understand how some people might find it hard if they don't have the choice to fast forward.

That is why I stopped watching it last year. No regrets thus far.
Wednesdays became my wrestling day (NXT, Lucha Underground)
Plus, I always got the WWE Network to catch classic stuff if I feel like rasslin' on Monday or any other night.

It's why I prefer SmackDown to be honest. No story advancement, no BS, no awful long promos, no shenanigans, just wrestling. It's like a 2 hour version of the Superstars on USA I grew up watching Saturday mornings.

The thing I don't like is if someone is feuding with somebody they must face that guy or anyone linked with him/her on every RAW and Smackdown leading to the PPV. There's no mix.
Last night was the same. Only fresh match was Dudleyz v New Day and even that is going to happen again at NOC probably just with PTP added. Mix it up a bit!

Dread mondays? I like watching RAW. Even if the show is a pile of shit the raw thread is funny.

Stopped watching Raw a long long time ago and focused solely on the PPVs. I was fed up with watching the same matches every week and found it was much more enjoyable and fresher to watch it this way.
Watching PPVs only means you have seen The New Day face the likes of Prime Time Players, Cesaro & Kidd and the Lucha Dragons just 5 or 6 times rather than 382 times if you hade been watching Raw and Smackdown all year.

Here in Germany, it runs on Thursdays at 10pm. There's Modern Family and American Dad (back-to-back on the same channel), football (Euro League) and othergood stuff at the same time as RAW thankfully

Well there's still something that makes it worth tuning in every week for me regardless. New Day or Brock/Heyman never fail to deliver.

it's the 3 hours for me. it's just too much time to watch a tv show week in and week out, especially since they've done absolutely nothing interesting for that 3rd hour. i watch the ppvs and nxt...maybe half of raw, but i don't feel bad if i miss it.
going back to 2 hours would greatly rejuvenate my interest in weekly tv.
