10 Nightmares That Could Come True In Vince McMahon's New WWE

6. SmackDown Going 3 Hours

This, admittedly, would involve conversations outside WWE's remit. FOX would need to sign off on a third hour for SmackDown, but McMahon would surely grab if it he could get another 60 minutes of airtime on Friday night prime time. Think of the ads he could sell, baby!

More money = happy Vince.

Being honest, this is something that has probably been discussed internally before. You'd have to go some to find any wrestling fans who'd want it, especially when Raw has become a marathon watch every Monday night. Sure, the creative team has produced some gold since Raw went three hours in 2012, but the flagship has felt like a slog more often than not.

Meanwhile, SmackDown's two-hour length gives it more zip. That easier-to-digest format would be lost if the blue brand found itself bloated the same way its red brethren was/is. Sadly, this may well be something McMahon never stops pushing for.
