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

The first quarter of year three is in the books with a very strong week of wrestling thanks to three shows with more than thirty minutes of wrestling and another one a few minutes short of that total. For the first time in more than six months, we passed one hundred sixty minutes of wrestling. This was the forth highest wrestling total (behind week 46 with 180 minutes, week 44 with 177 minutes, and week 25 with 166 minutes).

Smackdown won the week with thirty-two minutes of wrestling but NXT and Impact had thirty minutes of wrestling. For the first time in thirteen weeks, we did not have a show with six or more matches.

When Ring of Honor normally has the longest matches of the week, they had one of the four ten minute matches, but it was the shortest of them. There was only one one minute match from this week. There have been one hundred more ten minute matches than one minute matches.

Raw finally hit the three thousand minute barrier while Ring of Honor moves closer to two thousand minutes.

The times for the participants in the Elimination Tag Match from Ring of Honor are as follows:
Kenny King: 5 Minutes
Matt Jackson: 10 Minutes
Rhett Titus: 12 Minutes
Nick Jackson: 12 Minutes

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).
