Yes. I generally like 1-hour shows. It's tough to have a bunch of fluff on those and you can take a chance or two as long as you keep it fast. Once you get into 2-hours and lawd hammercy 3, you're almost guaranteed to have situations where you have some pointless rasslin or some 15 minute-talking runs that could've easily been 6 minutes of talking. Or in-show recaps, which is basically the worst unless you save it for crazy stuff like when Brock showed up and flipped over the announce table onto the announcers to write him off for a while.
