The Amount of Wrestling on Each Show Last Week

[Snowman1]

The week was won by Impact and Superstars, tied with twenty-seven minutes of wrestling. NXT was in third with twenty-six minutes while the two hour offerings from Raw and Smackdown each had two dozen minutes. Even with the totals down, every show was over twenty minutes for the second straight week.

In addition to having the lowest wrestling totals, Raw and Smackdown had the most matches and the lowest match lengths.

With the main event of Impact going over ten minutes, their ten minute match total has matched its one minute match total at forty-four. With three one minute matches this week, Smackdown now has only one more ten minute match than one minute match. Superstars is only one ten minute match away from fifty.

Next week should be very special for a few shows because Impact will pass the three thousand minute barrier unless they completely forget to show any wrestling during their return to live broadcasts. Ring of Honor is a decent length main event away from two thousand minutes and should pass that number if there are new matches to be aired.

With Impact airing live starting next week, I would think that they are going to do something big wrestling wise so the fifty minute difference between Raw and Impact for second place could get a lot tighter before Raw goes to three hours in nine weeks.

Over the last seven weeks, Smackdown has alternated between reasonable match lengths and miniscule match lengths. It should mean that next week will have matches that will average an amazing five minutes instead of the three minutes we have seen in the other weeks. Maybe it will return to the five minute average match length that this show once had.

The time for the main event from Raw goes from the start of the match until the lumberjacks enter the ring.

The wrestling times below cover the wrestling that takes place during the show so commercials are not included.

TNA had Open Fight Night and a promo-heavy show, and Superstars/NXT are both an hour long... interesting stuff.

I think Orton vs Del Rio, Kane vs Bryan, Kane vs ADR and Orton, Christian vs Hunico, and the SD Tag Match could have been really good if they were given 10 minutes. They deserved the time more than a crappy Big Show promo.

Otherwise, Kanenite, there's really no way to argue against what you said.

[Matt]

thats how it supposed to be pronounced but i think i misspelled it

haha i never noticed the spelling mistake XD

 

[Leo C]

That's ridiculous. Especially when you look at Raw's matches. As Rainman said, I'd prefer an Orton vs Del Rio match over a Big Show promo any time.

Alright so I always watch Raw, Smackdown, and Impact since they are on tv. How do I watch the other shows and when are they new? Sounds like they put out a pretty good product.

 

[Leo C]

If you're from the US, you have to watch them on WWE.com or somewhere else on the internet. NXT will be back to TV in the near future, but I'm not sure about Superstars.

NXT (Best WWE show since a couple months back) is on Wednesdays and is a webcast in the US and on TV in Europe. You can usually find it online on Thursdays.

Superstars is on Thursdays and is a webcast in the US and TV in Europe. Second best WWE show.

Impact is on Thursdays and airs on Spike.

 

[MarkyMark]

So they are webcast on wwe.com?

 

[Leo C]

Yes.

 

[MarkyMark]

Awesome. I'll start watching for now on

 

[Leo C]

I do recommend both NXT and Superstars, they're great shows and the matches get some good time. You won't regret it.
