We’ve been begging for Raw to go back to 2 hours for years. And Raw has more talent and storylines than SmackDown. So no way SmackDown should be 3 hours.
From 97 to July 2012, Raw was 2 hrs. They had SOME 3 hr specials. But when spaced out, they truly did feel special. I'll never be in favor of a full time 3 hr Smackdown. But 1 or 2 a year as a special would be enough.
Nope. No no. Nada. Absolutely not. 0 chance. 3 hours for a wrestling show is not the norm, Raw is an anomaly. I only saw raw when it was 2 hours for 2 years but I’d much rather prefer that than the past 14 years. 3 hours for a bad show makes it feel like a chore to watch wrestling. 3 hours of Raw then 2 hours of NXT then 3 hours of Smackdown and maybe 3-4 hours from PPVs. 6-8 if it’s a 2 day, is too much. I’m barely holding on rn, I can’t add another hour to it
I agree with the women's tag. It has no aura for me. It seems to be suck any interest for duos if they are in the titles picture. I like the personality development of Chelsea/Piper Kabuki Warriors and Candice/Indi AFTER they stopped going for the titles.
HELL NO! That last hour is always a pain in the arse when it comes to raw, I’ve never liked three hour raw EVER! I’d be happy if they left smack down at two hours and knocked off that last hour from raw and it went back to 2 hours which they haven’t done in about 15 years or whatever.
I was just talking about this with my friends. I'm fine with Smackdown being two hours. I think that certain superstars will benefit from it if goes three hours. Keep the women's tag title for legit women tag team not random women tag teams add women mid-card titles on both shows. If the men can have all those titles so why not for the women js
Jade is still pretty green and they REALLY try to make it seem like she’s not but when most of her singles matches are just squash matches or matches that last less than 5 minutes I really can’t see a Bianca and Jade feud until she gets better in the ring but I have my doubts
I think a third hour would help with branching out other storylines but that could change if there’s no commercials on Netflix. I feel it could help with how much is going on in the bloodline and give that story it’s own time to flesh out. This could also help segments not get bumped to next week like Nia Jax’s segment this week.
If I thought there was any chance that WWE would change their production and do things differently that would keep me invested in more programming, I would say, yes to them trying a 3 hour SmackDown. Having watched for a very long time, I can tell you this will never be the case. Any time there have been sweeping changes for the better, it's been because they were forced to change not because they did so voluntarily. They have been more than happy with doing what's safe and comfortable. Speaking of which, the tag team scene in WWE, historically, has always been secondary if not a complete afterthought. So, it's no surprise that it's lacking now and especially the women's tag division. There have been some positive changes since HHH took over but you can still see Vince McMahon's influence on the product even now since Paul learned from Vince. Just one example is this silliness with Pretty Deadly and them wanting to do a musical. It might be fun for a minute but, overall, it's a waste of time.
Re slow burn: They could honestly book Roman & Solo similar to Sting vs. Hogan/NWO in 1997. Each week the new BL is wreaking havoc but every now and then Roman shows up and they all crap their pants.
I wouldn't mind seeing a good friendly match between Cody and Kevin... No cheating... No weapons... No putting each other down... Just some good friendly competition... Granted I wouldn't want to see that all the time but to see a match like that once in a blue moon wouldn't be a bad thing...
Its crazy how we went from shitting on raw being 3 hours but now some from the iwc want a 3rd hour and honestly i don’t even see them using them effectively
I always have liked Smackdown at 2 hours and wish raw was that way. I don’t know if it could benefit because raw can drag on sometimes. Smackdown always feels a bit more action packed bc they can’t do a bunch of filler usually. Raw can be a bit arduous if there’s not some anticipated segment
Ive always loved the 3 hours because i love a lot of wrestling good or bad i would only not like if it got really bad but i can deal with regular bad. So yeah i would love smackdown getting a 3rd hour so more talent can shine or just get back on tv like shinsuke or teagan nox.
I’m part of the minority that thinks it should be more than 3 hours. Raw is great for three hours, and I don’t see why Smackdown couldn’t be also. Like I said, Nia and Tiffany got cut. We could get more promos. And maybe one more match.
The difference is that raw booking is actually good while Smackdown isn’t good enough, making it 3 hours would Make it harder to watch when little to no story progression happens on Smackdown If Smackdown was better booked show then I agree 3 hours isn’t bad when the rock was on Smackdown that a show worth getting 3 hours but right now keep it at 2
In the PLE (Paul Levesque Era), storylines have rarely felt rushed. Which has me thinking, it may be too soon for a Bloodline vs Bloodine War Games match by the time Survivor Series comes around. Its more likely, they would want to pull the trigger on Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes teaming up against Solo & The Rock by then before they do the civil war.
Disagree about it being too soon. This has been building since the night after WM! Even if you only choose to count when Roman came back after SummerSlam last Sat., you have roughly 3 months to build up to Survivor Series!
@@brianadkins3880 i completely understand in terms of natural storyline progression, but these Bloodline stories tend to move at a glacial pace lol you'd have to switch Jey and Sami over to smackdown somehow, set up the Bloodline reunion and establish the new Bloodline as dominant. Not to mention Jacob Fatu's injury hopefully not keeping him out too long.
Hey Dporticus do you think that you could give us a little more time to respond before uploading the video bc I had the most liked comment but it wasn’t in there because it was a little late :) no worries if that’s not your vision to change it!
I wouldn't add a third hour... however I would be in favor of an additional 10-30 minutes to give some things time to develope a bit more fluidly and maybe one additional segment and/or match
Pretty deadley are talented and play their characters very well but me personally I couldn’t care less about them, they just don’t do it for me,it just a bit to much for me
I sadly can't watch RAW live but even I can agree that Smackdown isn't as strong as RAW is. Says a lot when, as a new person, the only thing I really don't care for in RAW atm is the Wyatt Sicks but I know the legacy and I just don't like horror. This Smackdown felt a lot better, but I still feel like the only big plot going on right now is Bloodline and everyone is suffering because of it. Biggest Win for me: Feel like it has to go to LA Knight. New theme, same mic work, I hope his title reign is a good one because this is just a taste of something amazing. Biggest L for me: The feud for the Women's Tag Division. I really don't like squash matches, it's why I don't like Bron namely, so seeing Jade squash Alba (I think) was a turn-off for me.
The LA Knight new theme seemed pointless, in fact it seems like it took out the cool feel of the "GTA San Andreas" vibe his theme gave idk that's just me.
Every week I’m coming to the realization that Roman Reigns isnt that good of a wrestler. It was kind of confirmed to me on Smackdown it just kind of felt like nothing. He’s been in the WWE being pushed to the moon since he got in the company and he can’t do anything better then what he’s doing right now? It just feels stale as hell to me even with his abscence. Just do something different already not just the superman punch, ohhhhahhh spear, and then looking at Solo.
You cannot be serious wtf were you expecting him to do a 450 splash?Plus it was an attack not a match, forming a opinion on a wrestler in ring from a brawl is a bad way to analyze how good a wrestler is

Raw finally figured it out so they have the formula
Raws going back to 2 hours on Netflix while Smackdown is going to 3 hours. So they’ll need some big switches in next years draft to make it work
From 97 to July 2012, Raw was 2 hrs. They had SOME 3 hr specials. But when spaced out, they truly did feel special.

If smackdown were to be 3 Hours they would have to
• Get More Superstars
• Add A Match or 2 to PLE
• Get Better Storylines and Time Management
👆
Yes smack down has been feeling too short they need more time to develop stories please making three hours

Thank you!
I Think 50/50 I would definitely like a 3 hour Smack Down Show as I love Smackdown
La knights promo was amazing cuz I won’t let yah !!!!

Also pretty deadly the musical should be a pre show at a PLE. At this point it needs to happen somewhere with how much they’ve mentioned it

It's a shame how Carmelo has been criminally underused on the main roster, his NXT run was fucking incredible.

I watch RAW, Smackdown, and NXT.
Another hour would just be a lot to keep up with unless it was used to make matches longer.
This is the second time I missed a new theme song 😹
I did love the Santos/LA segment. They both looked so good!
Ive always loved the 3 hours because i love a lot of wrestling good or bad i would only not like if it got really bad but i can deal with regular bad. So yeah i would love smackdown getting a 3rd hour so more talent can shine or just get back on tv like shinsuke or teagan nox.

@@Wrestle_Kingdom I agree! I guess what I’m trying to say if they are going to elevate it to Raw’s time, they should also elevate it to Raw’s booking.
Santos escobar is super underated in my opinion he should win the us title next year
Brother, you need to some Giovanni on NXT, he was WORKING. He is an awesome wrestler.
Gonna need to look into him more

No. Third hour is a curse. The fact that it’s working right now for Raw doesn’t overcome that
I don't understand the hype for Pretty Deadly. They are glorified jobbers imo.
Pretty deadley are talented and play their characters very well but me personally I couldn’t care less about them, they just don’t do it for me,it just a bit to much for me
Probably get more commercials probably like a half hour more of commercials

They could do 2 and a half hours when they move to USA
Hi Dporticus how are you doing today?
@@DanielDeLeon69 I'm well! How are you?
@@Dporticus I'm Doing Good Also I Like the title of the video
L... A.. KNIGHT... YEAH!
The only show that I catch weekly are the ones produced by wwe honestly so I would like have a three hours smackdown more good tv for me is fine
Yes smackdown could benefit from 3 hours. But I have a better proposal 2 and a half hours. It doesn't need a full hour bump
Please no. Raw used to be ONE hour. 2 hours are fine. With no commercials it’s a smooth 80-90 minutes. Just use the time better!
No way Raw is suffering because it’s three hours.
2 and a half hours for both IMO
The LA Knight new theme seemed pointless, in fact it seems like it took out the cool feel of the "GTA San Andreas" vibe his theme gave idk that's just me.
They are trying to make him more badass than hollywood star.

Simple Answer No
Go on
