Is WWE oblivious to the multitude of complaints regarding the length of Monday Night Raw being too much for fans to consume? When a majority of your audience moans about your show being too long, whose bright idea was it to follow it up the next night for another two hours?

Five hours of wrestling on two consecutive nights is a lot to ask, even of the most diehard of wrestling fans. As someone who tunes in faithfully each week despite the fatigue I'm sometimes overwhelmed with, it immediately became apparent within the first half hour that the additional Tuesday night SmackDowns are going to be asking a lot for me to sit through/

With WWE interest at one of the lowest points it's been, I just don't see anyway this is a good idea. And rather than names like John Cena and Dean Ambrose luring fans to turn on to the show that hasn't been viewed as must-see TV for wrestling fans in a long time, what's more likely to happen is that these extremely talented superstars will suffer for it when the audience begins to drop off in droves.
