10 Ways Monday Night Raw Ruined WWE

5. Felt Uninspired Coming From Same Venue Each Week

A lot of fans have ragged on TNA over the years for hosting shows at the Impact Zone, a Soundstage studio found at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. In actual fact, the company have used several different studios in the complex, and even though many fans will remember them using Soundstage 21 most frequently, they actually now film shows in Soundstage 20. Monday Night Raw was held bi-weekly at the Manhattan Center in New York, with shows being taped in two week blocks. For example, one week was completely live, but once the one hour show went off the air, another episode was taped, due to be aired on television the following week. In fairness, the small, compact venue did have charm, but it became relatively dull watching the show play out in front of largely the same people each week. There's something exciting about watching wrestling shows be played out in front of different crowds, and the initial run of Raw didn't really have that.
