BY THE NUMBERS

By Richard Trionfo on 2020-10-25 09:28:00

With a record number of matches, we were unable to see an increase in the amount of wrestling over last week. This week’s total of 402 minutes was down 12 minutes from last week while we saw an increase of 4 matches over last week to give us 60 total matches during the week. AEW Dark, in its quest to be the first show with a triple digit amount of matches had 83 minutes of wrestling, which is probably a record for a single show. Dark had more than 20 percent of the matches and the wrestling for the week.

While Dynamite and NXT do not share the same ratings, they did have the same amount of wrestling for the week with 52 minutes of wrestling. Both shows were down from last week. NJPW Strong and Main Event also maintained the same totals as the prior week.

This week’s episode of AEW Dark was 120 minutes and 205 Live was 30 minutes. This will be reflected in the totals for the shows.

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.
