Raw to broadcast live on Christmas and New Years Day

[Deleted]

Pretty shitty for the guys and gals who'd rather be spending the holidays with their family.

[The Yes Man]

Yeah that's pretty shitty of them.

[Citizen Snips Has Left]

They'll probably try to compare it to the big NBA games on Christmas and the bowl games on New Year's.

[Deleted]

That is so f***ed up. Wow.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

I'd be more concerned about the attendance figures. Fans aren't exactly conditioned to watch wrestling on major holidays nowadays.

[Deleted]

Sure they'll get some kind of holiday bonus for that show so it's probably not all bad.

[mcstoklasa]

Who the f*** wants to sit three hours of wrestling on Christmas?

[bob]

I feel so bad for the talent

I had to work on Christmas 2 years ago and it was the most depressing thing I've endured in a while

Ric Flair: "Only one show each day? In only one city? For only three hours?"

[King Boo]

Please let the talent and crew just have their holidays. I assure you, I barely want to watch now, let alone on Christmas/New Year's.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

I'd hope at least this is the only show that RAW talents work that week, so they can at least have a semblance of a good holiday otherwise... Although it would have to be after this because they're trying to beat crazy Christmas travel.

[eJm]

Yeah, I have zero interest in watching Raw on Christmas Day.

I, as a fan, would rather everyone involved enjoy their holiday. Like most people would.

This is dumb.

You're a mean one Mr Vince



Well, in WWEville they say - that Vince's small heart grew three sizes that day, but Doctors later attributed it to a shitload of Human Growth Hormone

[Hypnosis]

Well that sounds grueling for the talent.

[Martin: #TeamBella Treasurer]

Sounds sh*tty, but I guess it won't be too different for the wrestlers. WWE often do a house show on the 26th/27th in MSG or another big 'home' arena. Some would be travelling on Christmas Day depending on where they live/reduced flights etc.

Perhaps WWE will help cover costs of having family travel over those few days.

Sucks for the talent, but if it was in NYC, I'd probably go since I was born Jewish and do nothing on christmas.

Thank you for the alternate lyrics that I will be unable to not sing this year.

Eh, pro/college football, NBA, and hockey teams have been having games on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years forever with no real say in the matter. I wouldn't want to work it, but it is what it is.

That said they'll probably want to have a huge hook for these shows to get anyone to actually watch on TV.

[Sir Woodrow]

Here's my theory, they're doing live shows this year in the place of "best of Raw" shows because there isn't enough to fill 3 hours
