When you have two ‘special edition’ shows in a week, it should not be surprising that the amount of wrestling increases over a ‘normal’ week of wrestling programming. This week, with The Great American Bash and Fyter Fest, we saw a 64 minute increase in wrestling over last week. This happened even with only 60 minutes of AEW Dark this week instead of the usual 75 to 90 minute show. If the other shows can maintain their totals from this week and with the second parts of the Bash and Fest shows, we may see another week in the 300 minute range.
In recent weeks, we were lucky to have more than three matches that went more than ten minutes. This week, we had a number of matches just under fifteen minutes that did not qualify for the top three matches of the week. We also only had one match that qualified as a one minute match and the second shortest match was three minutes.
Of the ten matches on Wednesday night, eight were more than 10 minutes
This week’s episode of AEW Dark was 60 minutes and 205 Live was 30 minutes so the averages will reflect that change.
Because the New Japan show is a limited run product, it will not be included in the totals.
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.
The times for the participants in the Elimination Match on NXT were:
Tegan Nox: 19 Minutes
Dakota Kai: 19 Minutes
Mia Yim: 10 Minutes
Candice LeRae: 4 Minutes
