10 Immediate Ways To Make WWE Raw Less Boring

We're all falling asleep at the top of the third hour, right?

It's an undeniable fact that at three hours of programming and the company lacking three hours worth of compelling talent - WWE's Monday Night Raw is too long of a broadcast. WWE are at a strange point. As a publicly traded corporate entity, WWE has effectively outdistanced their competition in the wrestling industry, and now is a viable product in the live and streaming content marketplace. With this being the case, WWE has to placate broadcasters and advertisers with their content, and delivering anything less than what is perceived to be the pinnacle of their brand is an issue. However, wrestling as an industry is in the throes of a revolutionary era, with three very different types of performers in one company at the same time, and in all of them attempting to find a middle ground, it's stagnated the program. However, there are solutions. These are radical solutions for radical times, and I don't think that we're necessarily supposed to all agree here, but certainly recognize that something has to drastically change. Here are ten ideas for WWE to not just consider but immediately adopt in order to fix their flagship TV show/branding platform and truly become the dominant live/streaming brand they deserve to become.
