There's no getting away from facts: Raw, the show touted as WWE's flagship weekly, has been a tough, tough watch for the longest time now. Occasionally, the program has moments of brilliance that hark back to those speedy two-hour runs of old, but it's more of a three-hour chore sprinkled with decency than must-see television.
