From @Enzo_Marino: Do you think the length of show also hurts main roster (RAW/PPV) vs. one hour weekly NXT and two hour special?
Absolutely. Raw is too long and PPVs are too frequent although if Raw was a better show then PPVs would be better. The other part about that is PPVs are part of WWE Network at a much cheaper price, so it's not that bad to have PPVs since the matches tend to be better. The weekly NXT show as well as specials every three months is perfect for that show. The roster isn't as deep as the main roster, so going two hours would hurt that brand. The show flows a lot better when it's just 60 minutes in length instead of two hours. Due to the NXT shows being one hour, it also allows WWE to hold those specials four times per year instead of every other month or monthly. We shouldn't blame WWE for making Raw three hour. They get paid huge money by USA Network and it was USA Network that wanted it to go three hours, so blame them for it. Then again, their money helps the WWE product that we love so much, so maybe we can thank them too. It's a funny business isn't it? Thanks again for taking part in the Q&A. Happy holidays.
