How hard would it be for the content to be the selling point of the WWE Network and not the loving price. "That's right JBL, and you can watch the entire storied Rivalry on the WWE Network, free this month!" They could also do more to help people get into wrestling from the WWE Network, everything is a total mess on there compared to say, Netflix. They need to cut out matches and introduce genres like "Tag Team Wrestling" or "Brawls" or "Cage Matches" and you can search by those parameters and find a whole bunch of individual matches instead of bookmarks in a PPV.

It was very likely a comment with not a ton of thought behind it, so I don't blame them for not tying it in better. What you said would have been great though.

I like that Stone Cold has gone from insane redneck anger machine fueled by beer and rage to goofy uncle Austin who occasionally has flashbacks to what he did in the Monday night wars.

Flameingblack posted:Vince McMahon produces a wrestling show to catch the attention of people who just accidentally flip through the channels and happen to stop on RAW for a couple minutes, that's his target audience. Pretty much this. SO MUCH of the product is recaps and replays and references to things that just happened JUST IN CASE you didn't see it! Gone are the days where you had to tune in because otherwise you'd god forbid actually MISS something and hear people talk about it or have to catch up on your own, so that you wouldn't miss watching it next time. It's like the "Previously On" segment at the beginning of serial dramas stretched along 3 hours and taking up at least an hour of that time.

I wonder if other show producers ever watch Raw, and what they think with the show format and style. All I can really compare Raw to is against itself and you're right. It stumbles over itself to tell you anything and doesn't use its time efficiently.

Most sporting event broadcasts spend a few minutes setting the table for people just tuning in for various reasons (top of the hour, another event ended, etc), so they don't feel lost.

Back in the day, Raw was technically two programs: Raw is War and WarZone. They were listed separately in the TV listings. They still put the signature at the end of each hour, but it's all one program now. If they really wanted to, they could put a C-show before or after Raw, or do a half-hour pre/post show on each end with exclusive matches/segments to flesh out the midcard. With broadcasting structure there's really no reason they HAVE to make Raw one consistent three hour show.

Well the big reason they won't do that is that they don't want to break viewing habits. As soon as you make a pre or post show, you're inviting people to not tune in because it's "not Raw." In turn USA doesn't want to show another lesser show in the first hour, they want Raw.

I wanna go on record saying the wwe will acknowledge the tweets, stir up an angle about it, get a little hot, fans will congratulate wwe for capitalizing, wwe will run it into the ground and by the time fans have forgotten about the whole issue, the angle will be dropped/changed/morphed into someone else and everyone will be exactly where they were 9 months ago.

I wish I could find that, because it will sound like I'm making it up, but she was having a conversation with a fan who wanted some of her poop before saying that they should go to DM. It's possible she didn't sell that box of poop I suppose. Muddy Burphy posted:I prefer the rumor about Russ Haas personally. What's this one?

Actually (and I know I am going to remember this wrong), the reason Raw Is War and Warzone were originally the first and second hour of Raw respectively, had something to do with the way Neisen ratings were affected. By giving them separate names, Neilsen effectively considered them two different shows even though they aired as one continuous show. I don't remember the exact benefit, but it seems like they were also able to put the more risque content on the second hour. I dunno, maybe someone with a better memory than me can comment on it.
