But it really doesn't make sense if a tag match only goes 10 minutes, and then a singles match goes 20. The tag should go longer, and it takes longer to build. You'd need a screwy finish for it not to come off silly.

I can see the argument if a brand's doing a PPV every month. But they aren't, so many times feuds need to come to an end on a regular show. At the same time, when you're advancing a feud within matches, an 8 minute match will not cut it. Aside from that, 8 minute matches tend to suck. I'm looking forward to Batista/Jericho because they've shown me over the past three weeks that they can go, and they've done so in long matches.

Who'd wanna see the blowoff to a short feud and series of matches if the previous matched have stunk?
