Hour 3 is death, plain and simple. If this is what they get for the raw after mania, by september they'll be averaging 1.8 mill per episode (literally TNA on spike type of numbers). I know the financials are good now but they had better figure out something or else that will go south as well.
I don't think that hour three necessarily has to be death. But if you're making a show that sucks and gives viewers little reason to care, then yeah, it absolutely is.
If Raw was three hours of great wrestling (both in-ring and out) every week, we'd all happily tune in. But it's usually more of a three hour death march, so I skip it entirely. I usually watch the Raw after 'Mania. Last night, I skipped it, because honestly, what's the point? They actually got me to tune in to the Kofi/Seth match, but as soon as the Bar interfered instead of Undisputed Era (or literally anyone else), I said f*ck it.
And it's not that I don't like the Bar. I think they're a great team. But having them interfere in that match was just lazy and pointless.
well for me a lot of the time its usually background noise but i actually sat down and watched most of it (and it was a bad show with nothing happening, but they hamstrung themselves with the draft next week).
