However, there was a change at the top for this week’s totals because for the first time since the week after Wrestlemania that Impact won the week. It is a bit of a coincidence that Impact also had 40 minutes of wrestling that week.
Raw finished in second place with 38 minutes of wrestling. Smackdown finished above the half hour mark with 31 minutes of wrestling to finish in third place. NXT took fourth place with 22 minutes of wrestling. For the first time since May 27th, Main Event broke into the 20 minute range and finished in fifth place. Superstars stayed out of the cellar this week and increased their totals to 13 minutes of wrestling. Ring of Honor’s two matches put the show in seventh place. This also allowed Ring of Honor to have an entry in the column this month. It appears that the next four weeks will feature qualifying matches because they announced that the Dearborn show would be featured next week.
Even though there was only 8 minutes of wrestling from Ring of Honor that qualified this week, it was enough to put this week’s total over last week. The 172 minutes of wrestling was 6 minutes more than last week and the highest total since the last time that Ring of Honor had a qualifying show at the start of June.
While I usually do not mix the monthly column totals into the weekly column in the middle of the month, but with Ring of Honor qualifying, we hit 300 hours of wrestling for the year on television. Next week, we will pass 5,000 minutes of wrestling on television and 6,000 minutes when pay per views are included for 2014.
We passed the 8,000 minute mark for Raw while Smackdown passed 6,600 minutes. In the 20 weeks since Main Event moved to the WWE Network, we have seen exactly 400 minutes of wrestling.
For the first time since the week of May 5th, we did not have a one minute match. During the nine weeks between, there were 31 one minute matches. During those same nine weeks, there were only 38 ten minute matches.
