The 3 hour part of the show.
They think the audience is only going to retain 5-6 big things from a show, and that's something you can't stretch out to 3 entire hours without it being fucking shit.
Going back to 2 hours would be a serious improvement for the entire show. It'll be a little less work on production and agents, and waaaay less stretched.
Promos can actually be done in a normal speaking pace then, instead of this long, slow, drawn out, annoying, way, that, they, do, now.
And matches don't have to have all your shit in it just to pad them out.
Matches could ostensibly be any good. Holy shit that's been a while, a good match.
