Maybe casual isn't the right word.

... The typical 300-400K viewers they lose from the start of RAW to the third hour probably aren't sticking around for anybody. Casual may not be a good word for that group, but I really can't find a better one.
Cuz they are 10 years old and Dad is switching over to Monday Night Football as soon as little Jimmy goes to sleep. There's nothing they can do to prevent this.

Well, there is... Ditch the third hour.

10PM RAW is nothing new and the rating didn't tank in the 10PM hour until three hours shows came along. It's just too damn long. And I think most of them know it, but aren't going to turn down the money it brings in even if they know it's detrimental to the product.

I miss those 9-11 shows. Not as much room to screw around with filler. The toothpaste has long left the tube though, we aren't going back to 2 hours.

The third hour of Raw still does better ratings than what they’d otherwise have in the slot.

Dude, why was HFBoards created? So you could watch sports or whatever and complain online about it or other stuff.
I’m confused. Are you being hostile toward me for no reason? Because it definitely seems like you’re being hostile toward me for no reason.

There's already growing speculation that the subtle (Maybe not for some) phony vibes from Punk's promo were very deliberate, and that he's actually slated to be a heel.

I'm for it. Narcissistic, gaslighting Phil is money... Probably because it's a bit true to life.

Also smart on WWE's end. Get him in, make a shitload of money selling his T-shirts during the honeymoon period, and then you're off to the races with him as a top heel.

He does play a hell of an asshole, and he has been a group leader before, maybe he replaces Priest in Judgement Day

Punk in a faction doesn't really fit the "Punk is a dick and nobody likes him", vibe they'd be going for, if they go the heel route.

Unless he's emasculating everybody in the group until they all turn on him... And that absolutely doesn't work for Rhea's character.

We will see there was a lot of the exact same conversation when he debuted in AEW. Like word for word I remember the same conversation and ironically I think the closest it got to happening was the Hangman feud lol it is the direction they should go but we will see if they actually do.
