22 minutes of wrestling on a 120 minute show? Man SD! was that bad.

I'm not gonna lie, I find it hard to believe SD only included 22 mins of action, what source are you getting these stats from? Are you sure it is reliable?

Thanks for posting this. Always interesting. Just goes to show you how much more wrestling is truly needed.

I'd be interested to see what the 1980's and early 1990's shows were like statistically versus nowadays. I swear Superstars had longer matches, although they always showed jobber squashes as well..

 

[The Showstopper]

Too much time on promos? I wouldn't mind that if they were good promos.. but yeah, they need more wrestling.
