5 Times WWE Changed The Format Of Its Most Well Known Shows
Change is good... sometimes...
1. Fairly Recent Raws
It used to be that WWE would try to hook you on Raw's opening segment, building to an important match at the end of the night. When Raw moved to three hours, that kind of sell-job proved harder, as sitting through that long a show could be torturous and trying.
For a time in the last couple years, Raw flipped the way they staggered the show, putting all the meat in the first two hours, while filling hour three with throwaway bouts and incessant recaps. That less-watched third hour had long been a drain on Raw's total numbers anyway.
