#4 Raw’s extra hour
On ‘Bring It to the Table’, JBL spoke about how the third hour of Raw earns WWE a great deal of revenue. While that may be true from a financial standpoint, from a fan's perspective, it is just overkill. Because of the third hour, the show plods along at a snail’s pace and consists of silly filler segments that go nowhere.
A reason for NXT’s success is that even during a bad week, it’s just one hour of content to consume. Compare this to Raw, when even the good episodes get on one's nerves; at a time when attention spans are declining by the day!
Sometimes, dropping the financial gain for a better product can save the day in the long run. The ratings certainly indicate so, if one were to map their decline over the years.
