After what was hoped to be a resurgence in the amount of wrestling we would see from the nine shows covered in this column, we saw another significant drop this week. After a 57 minute increase last week, we had a 45 minute drop. It might not help the totals with the number of multi-fall matches we will potentially get from WWE, but when MLW drops by more than 20 minutes from the previous week, it means that numbers will be down.
For the purposes of this column, the Seth Rollins versus Daniel Bryan match was considered as two matches.
Only officially announced 24/7 Title Matches will be considered for this column.
When looking at the matches, if there is a [c] next to the match, that means that the show went to commercial during the matches. All times are rounded to the nearest minute so if a match is 4 minutes 29 seconds, it will be listed as 4 minutes. If a match is 5 minutes 41 seconds, it will be listed as 6 minutes. All times are based on my timing while watching the shows and should not be considered as the definitive totals.
