SMACKDOWN GOING BACK TO 2 HOURS LETS GOOOOO!

>>18025191 (OP)
funny how they just said that smackdown was not going back to 2 hours. wonder if it was pushed back to august (after previously being predicted for after wrestlemania first, then june later) or if something else happened, or if this is a mistake.

Unheard of!

And that's a good thing. No rasslin show should be longer than two hours. Cut down on the dimeless midcards, retarded promos from jobbers no one cares about and for the love of christ cut down on some ads.
Even sitting in the arena I felt like 3 hours was too long. It encourages too much fluff and makes the life of shitters sitting in creative too easy because they can just spam you with their insane bullshit instead of focusing on a coherent story.

Based, guaranteed skyrockets and YOY increases...god what the fuck has this board done to me?

>TKO realizing a shorter show with big stars on top and cutting slop segments makes for better viewing, more viewers and more dollars

Now they just need to do the same with Raw and they're on the right path.

3 hours was a mistake in 2012 and it's a mistake now.

1/3rd of Slopdown was cancelled

the third hour is the first thing to go. if they don't think that content is worth it at the price of free, the rest of the show won't be far behind.

And please, PLEASE, shorter matches. Every single shitter going 10+ minutes is awful, especially because it ends in everybody doing the same shit. 4 matches of 5 minutes each that force each wrestler to have a defined style is way better than 2 (and sometimes 1) 20 minutes matches of "I have to get my shit in" that blur together

Thank God. Now I can watch TJPW shows in full instead of missing the first half hour.

>marking out for Jews earning even more money
Irreparable brain rot

>(having nothing to do with Okada)
cringe. Does Meltzer think Okada is more mainstream than John Grisham?

>>18025191 (OP)
oh no the chelsea and zelina shit

>>18025659
is this true?

I actually like the 3 hour smackdown. Gives me an extra hour to sit in my couch and shitpost with you guys in the live threads
