1: Got it wrong: Too long

The show featured far too much talking during its first hour.

When WWE chose to make Monday Night RAW a three-hour show permanently in July 2012, fans knew they were in-store for a change.

But this week, the first hour of the company's flagship show featured zero actual wrestling, in favor of storylines and character development.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy storylines (wrestling is essentially a Soap Opera after all), but there does need to be some athletic competition early on if nothing else than to get fans excited for the rest of the broadcast.

Whilst the show did deliver some great matches later (Cesaro Vs. Ricochet), for many it was simply too late.

A quick google search will tell you that fans didn't take this well, calling this week's show (like they've called so many episodes over the years), the "worst RAW ever."
