I did like Orton's expression after the RKO when he was taking his jacket off. he's all like "easiest payday of the year" I don't think he should have taken the jacket off at all. It would have made the sequence more fluid if he'd just kept it on. For that matter, they shouldn't have played his entrance music either, that would have made the RKO From Outta Nowhere even more surprising.

How could such a huge era be allowed to happen? Maybe they need actual time limits in their matches? I always liked in Shimmer how they would tell you how I much time was left.

Oh gotta put my cranky old man hat on for this one but yes, time limits should be announced for every match on a televised show in every company 100% of the time. That's a factor that never should have gone away. I'm not even saying go to a draw often, if ever even. But if you DO want to you should have it in place. Plus it adds to kayfabe since you're trying to fit shows into their time allotment on tv.

Well I normally switch to something else as soon as Randy Orton shows up so thank you to the USA Network for doing it for me

Another reason time management sucks is because USA no longer lets Raw or Smackdown have an overrun. The show has to end exactly at 10 or 11 cause it’s gonna get cut off regardless if the show’s fully over or not. WWE loved to dick around with those extra 15 minutes, but now that it’s gone they have to have less stupid shit.
..of course you’d think this would help them, but instead of looking at it like ok we’ve got 2 hours let’s time it like this, they decide to go full Okada at All In and go “f*** that shit let’s wing it and get 20 more minutes out of it”

Plus it adds to kayfabe since you're trying to fit shows into their time allotment on tv. This sounds really dumb. If you announce that a match is scheduled for "x" amount of minutes, then the audience will know when the match will end. Doesn't that take the excitement out of it? Look at Cena-HBK. Nobody had a clue that was going to go as long as it did, and it was awesome. And if you rarely are going to a draw, then what's the point? If a match is announced for ten minutes, if it goes five, then it's kind of dumb, and if it's closing in on ten minutes, the audience knows the end is near. How does that help anybody? Only Iron Man matches and tournament matches should have announced time limits. And beat the clocks, I guess. But anyways, I can't believe (well, I guess I can) that Raw used to be two hours, and pre-taped, and they can't get everybody on the show and make them feel important today. The one thing the Attitude Era did absolutely right.

The one thing the Attitude Era did absolutely right. No. If a match is set with a time limit why do you think it would end at the wire? You say X number whatever the rules are. Literally nothing changes beyond the announcers lines. This used to be standard. "Our next bout is scheduled for one fall with a 45 minute tv time limit." That doesn't mean it has to even go beyond 8 minutes.

I loved it. And I believe it was the plan all along.

They've been running it live for almost three years now and still haven't figured out how to pace their show to actually end at the right time.

Like, it makes no difference overall to the show for the most part, you're just mentioning the time limit besides the main event where it might be longer or something along those lines.

I'm looking forward to seeing the MS Paint version of this at the end of the year.
