For those that have the WWE Network, go back and watch any RAW from the first half of 1998 and compare it to todays RAW. One thing youre bound to notice is the lack of unpredictability that todays show has. On RAW today, everything is so segregated. You can almost always predict which superstar or diva is going to show up on what segment and if you arent a fan of those talents, you have no reason to watch. During RAW's better days, superstars and divas didn't just stick to their segments and appear only when their rivals were on-screen. The show wasnt so limiting as it is now. Today, viewers don't get that unexpected feeling of "where did that come from?" and very rarely does one segment blend into the next. Each segment feels like a very hard stop. One of the better ways for the WWE to improve RAW long-term is for them to picture the show like a crystal ball containing all of their superstars & divas and violently shake that thing up. If the audience doesnt know who is going to show up when or where, it makes for a very unpredictable show that is full of spontaneity and excitement. The show must be presented in a way so that, in order not to miss anything, the viewers have to stay tuned the whole time. If viewers can accurately predict the show's "big spots" like the opening and closing segments, and the top of the hours without ever being wrong or missing something else, the ratings are never going to improve.
