WWE: 7 Reasons Raw Should Not Be 3 Hours Long | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Publish date: 2024-09-06

I love the WWE.

I consider myself to be an extremely loyal fan. After all, I haven't missed an episode of Raw since 2006, and generally speaking, I now watch every Raw, SmackDown and PPV every year.

But just because I generally enjoy the hell out of the WWE, that doesn't mean that I can't fall victim to what I call "WWE overload."

There have been many times when, quite frankly, I find it to be more of a burden than a joy to watch anywhere from four to eight hours of WWE programming in a week's span.

Especially when the product is really bad, it's often extremely difficult for me to be motivated to watch Raw and SmackDown, plus a pay-per-view.

I still do it, but there are many fans out there who won't, especially if the quality of the product falls off like it tends to do at times.

If the WWE isn't delivering quality programming on a consistent basis, can the company really expect us to tune in for five hours each week, much less eight?

I'm not sure that's very realistic.

There is a point when the WWE overexposes itself and shows all of its flaws by having too much programming, and as much as I hate to say it, the company will be teetering on that point as long as Raw is three hours long.
