Add in the aftermath of that match. Then there are segments and entrances and stuff. The MITB is the only way to get those guys on the WM card, the alternative is clusterfuck tag matches like the Attitude Era Manias or these mid-carders simply being left off the show like WM 19 and 21. OR you have 12-13 matches and then the title matches and HBK/Taker are shorter matches. All of the alternatives seem bad to me so this is the best scenario IMO
Sounds reasonable... Let's figure out how much actual wrestling is going to be on this card... And I'm going to be real liberal with the match times...

Jericho/Edge: 25 minutes
Batista/Cena: 20 minutes
Taker/HBK: 30 minutes
HHH/Shemus: 15 minutes
Hart/Vince: 15 minutes
Money in the Bank: 20 minutes
ShowMiz/Truth & Morrison: 10 minutes
Punk/Mysterio: 10 minutes
Legacy Match: 15 minutes
Women's Match: 10 minutes

That'd be 2 hours and 35 minutes worth of matches for a 4 hour show. If they do that I have no problem.

I just don't want to see another Mania in which half the show no one is wrestling. Last year their was 129 minutes of non wrestling and they bumped the Unified tag team championship to the pre show? Thats terrible.

That was the main crux of my argument.

I'd be cool with half that amount actually. Especially for the Women's match.

I think your are over estimating ....

I think they would shave 3-5 minutes off of most of those. I hope I am wrong. But some matches need to be shorter for realism sake.
