    So guys this week marks the first anniversary of 3 Hour Raws.

    Be interesting to see if you guys think it has been a good or bad development? Personally I think it has allowed more time for actual wrestling and to develop new talent so in my opinion I think it has been good and I will readily admit I didn't expect it to be

    I enjoy that we get some long, great matches now (especially with Bryan and SHIELD about) but over the last year I've started missing either part or the whole show on a regular basis. Like I only spun through last week's RAW yesterday. I just can't do a 3 hour show every week. Some shows are really well-booked and actually need to be 3 hours (and that's great), while others are extremely long and drag. I'd consider watching RAW live at 2 hours but not really anymore - 3 hours generally includes a slow hour about halfway through the show. It has killed off me watching Smackdown, the "trial run show" for RAW. With so much TV they repeat the same matches. Completely unnecessary show.

    I've felt more recently they have given the right people longer matches and tried to give each show at least on storyline to run throughout it but normally more than that (The Main Event, The Shield, The Wyatt's, CM Punk/Heyman etc).

    It really can drag if they arent putting on a good show with 3 hours however and I felt for a lot of the run of 3 hour Raws we were getting much more filler segments and matches and it really came off as repetitive at times especially with some wrestlers wrestling each other every week.

    Smackdown has become even more so the secondary show since the change too and even when something interesting is done on SD you can be sure it will be repeated on Raw during one of the numerous repeats they show. If I watched it live i'd mind that too as thats one way they have filled the extra hour but i dont so i can FF if I please or watch it if they put together a nice package cos afterall it is one thing WWE are very good at.
