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?

You assume they will suck. If a match sucks in 8 minutes, it will be even worse in 15. But you CAN have a good match in 8 minutes. And who says they need decisive finishes on TV?
The point is, when the WWE was doing really well they had shorter matches. Now they have too many long matches and all their business drivers are down. I'm not saying thats the reason why they are down, but it would make sense to argue that they should go back to the formula that was successful.
