Breakdown of this week's in-ring time

**Xero** · 04-02-2010, 06:34 PM

Week five, PPVs then week six. Don't know why I keep forgetting to post it.

All from PWInsider.

It is the start of the second month of By the Numbers and it is a bit of an anomaly this week. Whether it was the final build for Wrestlemania and the fact that all four television shows were taped on Monday night, the times for the WWE matches dropped significantly while Impact had its best week for amount of wrestling. TNA also had its longest match since I started this column. Because of a college basketball tournament on HDNet, there was no new episode of Ring of Honor so they will not be considered in the totals for this week. Even with only four hours of programming, Ring of Honor still has a small advantage over Impact which has moved into second place in overall wrestling, one minute ahead of Smackdown. Once Wrestlemania is in the rear view mirror, will we see Smackdown return to the amount of wrestling they had before the Supershows and focus on video packages?

The wrestling times below cover the wrestling that takes place during the show so commercials are not included. All times are rounded to the closest minute (examples: a 4:23 match will be listed as 4 minutes while a 4:32 match will be listed as 5 minutes and anything under a minute is rounded up to a minute)
