Best and Worst of Raw: 19 June, 2017

#1 Worst: One hour too long

Did people stick around until the third hour?

The first half of Raw was crammed with filler, even though the show was not lacking in genuinely good content. This is because producing a three-hour long show on a weekly basis is not easy.

In 2017, when attention spans are lower, it is almost impossible to get new fans to watch a three-hour-long show on a weekly basis, consistently. While this is a subject that has been oft discussed and debated, the third hour is hurting Raw and it can damage the brand, over the long haul for sure.

If this was a two-hour long show, it would have been absolutely perfect indeed.
