There really is just too much WWE content weekly.

Smackdown has enough high-end talent to make it work.

You know who I’d feel bad for? Craft Services. 75% of their customer base is the SmackDown mid-lower card.

Smackdown has enough high-end talent to make it work. But not the "creative" ability which is much of the problem with RAW being three hours. A good creative staff can make it work. WWE, as much as I tend to defend them and even that's becoming less frequent lately, does not have that.

That sounds like a threat.

Seriously though, I can’t say I’d be too bothered by three-hour SmackDown. I understand the concerns about burnout and too much content, but that’s just me. I’m the kind of person that watches every game of a weekly round of footy, even though seven of the eight games per week don’t have my team in it. Another hour of SmackDown is nothing, especially depending on what gets moved around the taping/airing schedule to account for it (205 Live).

How else are they going to make time for Roman on both shows?

I mean don't get me wrong,I'd probably still watch because SDL has so many people I'm interested in, but the biggest advantage it's always had over Raw is that even when the episodes suck they tend to fly right by because of it being 2 hours. That hour makes a huge difference.

Vince, Steph, and Hunter have all said they hate the three hour shows so unless someone dumps Raw like money on them I can't see this happening. I think NXT or 205 getting a deal along with SDL is far more likely.

WWE couldn't be daring people to stop watching harder if they advertised live intro performances every week by Wheatus

Six hours of weekly programming and they'll still rush every match so they can get to the next 25-minute promo.

I think Vince is on record as saying that his preferred show length is 90 minutes, but the money for the extra time is too good to pass up. Never heard anything from Stephanie on the matter.
