BY THE NUMBERS: LOOKING BACK AT THE WEEK IN WRESTLING FROM WWE, TNA, AND ROH

By Richard Trionfo on 2016-04-28 06:13:00

The time for the I Quit Match is from the start of the match until the referees and officials came out after the Swanton spot.

 

The matches on this week’s Ring of Honor were from the Honor Rising shows in Tokyo from February.  The matches on this week’s show were Tetsuya Naito and Jay Lethal versus Kazuchika Okada and YOSHI-HASHI, KUSHIDA versus Frankie Kazarian, and Kenny Omega, Nick Jackson, and Matt Jackson versus Katsuyori Shibata, Bobby Fish, and Kyle O’Reilly.

 

I will be starting a new feature for 2016.  Since a the times for the matches can be a little misleading because the counts are only for the time on the show and does not factor the commercial breaks.  Starting with this week, if there is a [c] next to a match, it means that there was a commercial break.
