– It looks like Monday Night RAW could be moving back to two hours if they sign a broadcast deal with FOX. Wrestling Observer Newsletter’s Dave Meltzer was asked about RAW possibly moving back to two hours if a FOX deal comes through after WWE’s contract with NBC Universal is up. Meltzer confirmed RAW would revert back to two hours if they sign with FOX:
@davemeltzerWON Any insight on changing RAWs timeslot if it moves to FOX- or going 2 hours? Affiliates will not be interested in pre-empting 10 pm newscasts

Yes, Raw would be cut to two hours if it goes on FOX https://t.co/EUwLpl2taB

– WWE Hall Of Famer Edge recently had a great back-and-forth with a fan on Twitter. The fan criticized wrestlers for taking pride in winning titles in a scripted entertainment event. Edge fired back noting that actors do the same thing when they accept awards, such as an Oscar, for their acting performances:
Ive always wondered why WWE wrestlers take pride in winning championship belts. Its scripted. Its like Tom Hanks bragging to people in real life that he faught in ‘Nam cause Forrest Gump did

No, it’s not. It’s pride in being recognized for hard work. I would guess Hanks is proud of winning the Oscar for best actor for his hard work in Forrest Gump. Or because it’s scripted does that not count? Plus, it’s fought, not faught. #TheMoreYouKnow #imcranky https://t.co/8BmpFHHpQ5
