WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque took part in the Bad Blood post-show press conference following Saturday night’s PLE to talk about a number of topics, including the length of Monday Night RAW when it moves to Netflix.
Triple H said, “When I find that out, I will let you know. Raw goes down to two hours [On Oct. 7 on USA]. What does that do for us? It’s an hour less show. We found ourselves in this wild spot. If you had asked me a few years ago, three hours was just — the difference between two and three is like night and day. I can’t even express to you how much different that is. Now, we are this place where we are doing three hour shows, and it will drop to two.”
On looking at things differently for RAW at two hours:
“It’s a different way of looking at it that’s just different. It’s a little bit less stress. It’s less but I think sometimes less is more. I think that’s going to be a really good thing.”
On how WWE is still working through the logistics of RAW on Netflix:
“When we get to Netflix, we are still working through all of that. I think the truth is, you guys will have to watch and see. I will wait and see, but we will deal with it. The truth is, no matter what the length of time is, it’s about putting out the best product we can, telling the best possible stories we can. At the end of the day, this is what it’s all about. Telling stories. Sometimes in our business, we get so caught up into our three-hour, one-hour…the movie is the movie. When the movie is over, it was either good, or it was not good, or too long, or too short. Whatever it is. But we are just making a movie every week, twice a week, to three times a week, actually, with more to come. We approach it in that matter. Let’s write the best stories and then figure out how to jam it into whatever timeslot we have available.”
