Seth Rollins not too long ago appeared on the SI Media podcast and through it, he spoke about preferring WWE Uncooked to be a two-hour present as a substitute of a three-hour present.
The USA Community wished the present to be prolonged in 2012 and has given WWE extra money for it in order that’s why WWE has stayed with the format.
“I feel a 3 hour present is simply obnoxiously lengthy each week. Every little thing will get stretched out, you recognize, and also you’ve obtained to cram — you bought to fill three hours of tv, there’s simply nothing to be executed. You already know, that’s simply how it’s. So I feel two hours is a phenomenal form of quantity for a professional wrestling present. And I feel it’s simpler to make every little thing imply a bit of bit extra. You already know, on SmackDown once I was there final 12 months, I rarely wrestle on tv and so it was form of an enormous deal. You have a look at Roman, he rarely wrestles on tv, I feel possibly a handful of instances within the final 12 months. So when he has matches at these pay-per-views, they really feel like huge offers and on Uncooked I’ve wrestled in like 26 five-star matches within the final two months. It’s simply been wild the quantity of precise wrestling that I’ve to do and I’d like to keep away from that however it’s what it’s. I like the truth that I get much more display time on Mondays as a result of you have got the additional hour however yeah it’s a apples to oranges kind factor. I do assume three hours is only a lot to ask each week of a viewer.”
