How would wwe ratings go up if Smackdown, Raw, and ECW shows were to combine into a 3 hour shows.?

Question

Note: ECW is part of WWE.

Answer 1

Alot, youd get raw,smackdown,ecw fans all together, say like twice the rating they got now

Answer 2

This is tricky because if they combine all the sows everyone will tune in one night a week but wwe will not get to showcase all of there upcoming wrestlers like Kenny Dykstra also a lot of the ECW superstars will probably not be shown as much because the Raw and Smackdown superstars will take up most of the storylines and most of the show and WWE will lose a lot of ECW fans that way and you also wont get the variety in storylines like you get it now example u tune in to raw u get the HBK Rated RKO storyline and the Cena Umaga storyline. Smackdown you get the Batista Kennedy storyline and ECW uyou get LAshley Test so if you dont mind sseing the same stuff every episde you will like it but if you like watching each show because they all bring different things to the table you will not like it.

Answer 3

I think it would be good for ratings b/c it will give them a lot more options with story lines if they just combine everything. It would also be nice if they make RAW a 3 hr program and keep Smackdown! on Fridays but eliminate ECW and have all wrestlers available for both shows instead of having brand exclusive superstars.

Answer 4

I don't think it would work. First, there would be way too many stars to pick from to be in a three hour show. You'd get a lot of Batista, Cena, HHH, HBK, and guys like that but wouldn't get a chance to see a lot of Tommy Dreamer, Chris Benoit, Lashley, London and Kendrick, and others. Secondly, you'd still have the ECW vs. everybody else mentality that would run the show into the ground.

Answer 5

Nay that's a horrible idea. Does anybody remember WCW when nitro became a 3 hour show every week. The storylines would run together and make no sense. The matches would be stale and there's way to many wrestlers in the WWE to have only one show a week.

Answer 6

there were times when i watched Jean Claude Van Damme movies sometime ago...when he had to fight his opponents at the expense of crazy audience (betting/gambling )... where i felt ppl would certainly agree how disgusting it is to see such "drama". But now ....it is actually right on TV... where the "champions" would fight until blood is all over ...and mesh each other's brain with steel chair... is that to keep the championship belt? or their career?... or to keep up with this "modern" lifestyle where rating is all that there is? it isnt a sport when there are no rules and regulations... just madness

Answer 7

It would be a GREAT thing if it happened. The ratings would go up for sure. It wont happen thought cause vince wont want it again
