From @WWEis4life: Your thoughts on WWE Raw nowadays?
It's been below average for most of the last month and the summer was pretty average. Three hour shows are too long. We know why WWE is three hours: USA Network pays them for it and WWE isn't in a position right now where they should be turning down significant amounts of money. That third hour isn't going away any time soon. What they need to do is make the matches seem more important. They don't have enough big matches on the show. We see the same kinds of matches every week, but titles are rarely on the line. It seems like they always run with tag matches that are set up by people doing promos and then some authority figure comes out to set up a tag match. That formula is boring. Fans want something different. The return of Dean Ambrose will help. If Daniel Bryan can get back in November or December that also be a big deal because when he left with the injury in May he was the best performer on the show. It might be time to put the NXT guys in matches more often just because they're really good, they're exciting and they could be the spark that the show needs. Raw is still the most important show in WWE and the one people will watch the most, but it needs to improve because what we're seeing on Monday nights is not an exciting show.
