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

In order to make sure that this gets out before the next week of shows is complete, the usual introductory paragraphs will be reduced to a few sentences. Smackdown and Ring of Honor won the week while we had Raw and Superstars tie for third and Impact and NXT tied for fifth. Smackdown had a whopping ten matches, including four that were one minute in length and none were more than six minutes. Raw fell three minutes short of three thousand while we passed fifteen thousand total minutes. In a quirk, Superstars now has an equal amount of wrestling from WWE.com as well as from their time on WGN America.

The wrestling times below cover the wrestling that takes place during the show so commercials are not included. All times are rounded to the closest minute (examples: a 4:23 match will be listed as 4 minutes while a 4:32 match will be listed as 5 minutes and anything under a minute is rounded up to a minute).
