‘Bring it to the Table’ made its debut after this weeks episode of RAW on the WWE Network. The show is hosted by radio personality Peter Rosenberg and featured JBL and Paul Heyman in an ESPN style show where they would address all of the latest issues in WWE.

One of the most interesting parts was when JBL and Paul Heyman addressed critics that say RAW should only be 2 hours instead of 3.
JBL says that WWE added the Cruiserweight division that takes up close to the extra hour of RAW.
He says that RAW going to 2 hours is never going to happen due to television contracts. The contracts for WWE in the United States, United Kingdom and India run until 2019. WWE makes $173 million off television revenue during that time, by far the most of anything on WWE’s balance sheet.
He says the WWE Network does $137 million for the WWE Network and $106 million for live events.
The third hour makes a ton of money for WWE and if they were to go back to 2 hours, they would lose a huge slice of their revenue.

Rosenberg said that he would prefer RAW to be 2 hours from a fan’s perspective. Heyman says that he is entitled to his stupid opinion and that it is irrelevant. Heyman says that people need to get over it and it is never going to happen.

You can watch the full show on the WWE Network. Let us know what you think of their comments. Would you like RAW to be 2 hours or do you understand WWE’s perspective on the issue?
I like Raw at 3 hours more than I did when it was 2 hours honestly longer the better.
RAW being 2 hours would be substantially better.
And Cruiserweights does not take up 1 whole hour.
