WWE TRYING TO KILL THE THIRD HOUR OF RAW?, FLAIR FILM, NAITO DOING INDIES AND MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2017-11-04 10:30:00

I was watching Raw and this thought occurred to me: they are tanking hour three every week.  Is this WWE's way to destroy it so they can go back to two hours?

I don't think so.  I think they are seeing the trend that the first two hours have more viewers so they are putting the more important angles and stories there, then loading up hour three with other content that would have been sitting in between the more important segments.  They get paid for that hour by USA, so losing it means losing money.  WWE doesn't like that?

Is the Ric Flair film going to be a fluff piece?

Absolutely not.  It goes into his womanizing on the road, the death of his son Reid, his drinking and more.  It is not a film made just to celebrate Ric.

I saw Tetsuya Naito is doing indy shows.  Does he have to get booked via New Japan?

Possibly.  Some talents have the ability to book themselves out, as Jushin Liger does.  Some have to go through the company.

Whatever happened to King Kong Bundy?

Bundy lives in New Jersey and occasionally makes appearances, but is done as a wrestler.

How is Hillbilly Jim not in the WWE Hall of Fame?

I don't know, but I agree with you.  My guess is they will get him in there eventually.
