Raw Needs Overruns Back Badly

[Gus Richlen Was Wrong]

Just way too much feels rushed at the end anymore. Granted, a lot of it does have to do with KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES sorry about that anyways pacing, and that's KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES sorry again something that can easily be fixed in booking, but we never really get much of a chance KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES goddamnit! Anyway, we never get much of a chance to absorb how a show KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES son of a bitch ends. NXT had that problem for a bit too and getting that overrun KINGDOM OF THE PLAENT OF THE APES f***ing hell back has been a major help.

Not sure you can get USA to give up their KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES motherf***er already time spots for garbage reality shows that nobody KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES if I ignore it maybe it'll stop in their right mind actually watches.

This is not a defense of the old regime but it seems like they were more militant about holding talent to their time cues and the current regime is more relaxed with talent which results in shows ending right at the last second.

It's like Hunter wants to give people time but forgets how much time WWE is allowed to work with on Mondays.

With Raw going to Netflix, I think Overruns will return, but I hope they don't use it every week. Deploy them for "special" occasions.

I guess USA told Triple H that it was… my time.

[Cyno]

It's weird because it's not like USA has a problem with overruns either. NXT has one nearly every week. Figured they'd be more open to them for the much bigger ratings draw.

I want more wrestling at all times, every day. So...

No they don't

[LiamMcDuggle]

I think Triple H has made RAW way better to watch, but it's still a 3 hour show that has way too much filler in it.


My only critique against Hunter is he seems to be lax on letting tertiary talent go over their time cues. If people like Punk, Becky, Bayley, Gunther go a bit long, so what, they are the ones people paid to see, but there was matches that had people with relatively no TV time in the last 12 months that went over 10 minutes when they likely were not supposed to.


Zoey Stark vs Ivy Nile went over 10 minutes (with entrances). Even if you combine their social media numbers together, they have a lower amount of interactions than any other singular talent on the show and their match on YouTube is the least viewed thing from the entire show. In an attempt to get themselves over, they took away TV minutes from people fans paid to see.

It's kind of insane that they have to CUT stuff still from a THREE HOUR SHOW because of things like the CM Punk promo going long

Like... I don't really get why they can't use an overrun anymore so they could fit some things in, but moreover... how are you having trouble fitting shit in on a THREE HOUR SHOW!?

[Vice honcho room temperature]

I'm not sure how loose they can be with an overrun but it should be used just so the main event goes to a natural end instead of a Smackdown like Nitro going off the air so you can look at the cable box clock and see that its gonna be over in a minute

Assuming Kofi v Rey & Shayna v Zelina are on next week then? Assuming they got cut for time.

And like when Rey won the WWE title he's gonna have to wrestle John Cena at the end of the night despite that being entirely unfair

They’ll actually be running them on this weekend’s house shows.

[SkullTrauma]

raw is far too long as it is.

Why are we jumping to the conclusion that Zoey Stark and Ivy Nile went into business for themselves and went over their time to get themselves over?

I think Liam meant that as in "their segment was longer than 10 minutes," not "they went 10 minutes longer than planned."

I didn’t mean they went 10 minutes over their time, but he seems to be saying they purposely went over their time cue in order to get themselves over.
