At the end of the day, it all comes down to how the show is booked. WCW is an example of what COULD happen if it is not presented correctly.
Think about it, it could be an excellent opportunity to showcase new talent, provide more time for the divas and tag divisions, and allow for more storylines to get over, IF booked accordingly.

If they stopped showing reruns of the previous RAW and Smackdown constantly throughout the show and cut down some of the overly long promos they have each week, they wouldn't need an extra hour. Lets hope it's filled to the brim with wrestling and not just an excuse for more of the above.

sometimes I feel like RAW should have been longer. hopefully this will help them fill it out when it's missing either a good match or a nice promo or something. and hopefully this means some undercard action on RAW. good news! this and the ppv preshows on youtube is some pretty sweet

What are everyone's thoughts of the social media aspect of it?
Apparently it is going to include new fan interaction, involving matches, stipulations and development?

I think it'll be the usual load of bollocks. Like when the fans at the shows 'vote' for the same stuff. They'll just fake the results and do what they want to do anyway.

I think this could happen, but I hope it doesn't.
What is the point of the WWE promoting this new concept, where the fans can decide what they want, just to choose the results that THEY want?
It's backwards thinking if you think about it...

I don't know if it was on here that I read it. I did read somewhere that they were thinking of having a preshow.
I hope it's not a preshow though

They've done it before. Several times.
