What I saw on Raw was good, not spectacular or truly compelling but good, especially considering its WWE and they have had such a rough run the past few years creatively. My bottom line will always be it's 3 hours long, plus two hours of Smackdown, which do I watch? I can't watch it all and when I do I never enjoy it. It's really really hard for me to enjoy a full 2 or 3 or 4 or more hours of WWE. I enjoyed Wrestlemania for the most part, but when I watch anything else it's really hard to get into it.
With AEW I can sometimes still feel like a wrestling fan, quite simply. WWE feels like a chore. But there is so much potential. My biggest hope is that Triple H can convince Nick to get an even bigger deal for two hours of Raw than three, so that they can justify cutting back. I don't know how they'd do it, but I'd guess if anyone can it's Nick Kahn.
