Jonathan Coachman Thinks WWE Monday Night RAW Being Three Hours Long Is A Mistake

Former WWE announcer Jonathan Coachman recently spoke with The Tech Times about topics. During the interview, Coachman explained why WWE Monday Night RAW being three hours long is a mistake. Here is what he had to say:

 


 

“Well, one thing that frustrates me and always has about wrestling fans who love the business, is they don’t quite understand how difficult a business this is,” Coachman said. “What I mean by that is we all have our favorite shows and if NCIS, which is one of my favorite shows, if that was 52 weeks a year, you better believe there’d be a few episodes that weren’t as good as the others. The way Vince has chosen to do his business is to not have an off-season. That’s what he chose to do. So, I always encourage fans to, instead of complaining about, ‘Oh, this show wasn’t good, or this show wasn’t good,’ just enjoy it for what it is. You get to have three hours. And by the way, I think that’s a mistake. I think two hours is plenty. Even in the early 2000s, when there were at least 15 main-event legit stars, it was still only a two-hour show. I understand contracts and TV money — I get all that — but I wish they would [go] back to two hours. That would really help.

WWE RAW went from two hours to three hours in 2012 and ratings for the show have dropped to record low numbers since the change.
