18 hours.There’s only 15 matches, which likely go 20-30 mins each…What will the other 13 hours be filled with?
>>175068943-5 hours of fumbling 10 hours of ads or tie ins that dont “look” like ads3 hours of pre and post show.

Do they have the obligatory annual black musical artist they've thrown millions of dollars at for Americans to worship? Usually they have one every year.
>>17507168travis scott will show. people will die
>>17506894Fuck that is horrible. For me, it's both main events and it's done and dusted. Around 1.5 hours total over two days.
The only way to enjoy Mania nowadays is with friends, pizza and drinks.Wrestling is secondary to the moment of well-being.

>>17507225I'll honestly watch 2-6 hours across 2 days max. shoot with me /pw/ what tier are you?
You don't need to watch the pre-shows and post-shows though. Nothing will be affected storyline wise and there won't be any new developments.I don't have a problem with pre-shows going long if it's just talking. Those can go all day and should just be background music for most people. It's when you get 1-2 hours of pre-show wrestling then 3-5 hours of wrestling that it's a problem.
>>17507226>Performing artists pay WWE to appear on WMwrong
>>17507225im mostly an aew chad these days but ill watch 2-6 hours probably. might play some modded pokemon on my DS between matches
>>17507252Show us one record of a RAW guest star or intro song or WM performer costing money
>>17507225I'm watching S&D start to finish and will have both nights of WM playing but will probably tune out on some matches like New Day and War Raiders.
>>17507533I will watch both nights in full but tune out if something isn't getting litty. Don't watch NXT in full but tempted to see whatever Ethan Page is doing because he is always so entertaining.
>>17507225>E-diotOk I like this one
>>17507241I'm going to probably watch night one with a friend. And forget about night 2 and read the results online on Monday.I only watch WWE twice a year, this is one of them. Every time I'm glad I stopped watching wrestling
>>17506894Are people this dense? It's going to be replayed immediately after.Each show is 4 and a half hours, not 9. Dumb asses.
>>17507577>Missing Cody Cena liveYou can't be this retarded
>>175072252-6 hours for me. could never be an E-diot
>>17506894>preshow and postshow includedSo WrestleMania will not be 18 hours
>>17507248They do this for the Super Bowl too, but nobody's trying to say "THE SUPER BOWL IS 10 HOURS LONG"
>>175075782 hours pre show and post show, e-diot
>>17507578t. e-diot
Even though the build has been really weak, I still get hype as fuck every year for Mania. Cant wait bros. Living Color is gonna do Cult of Personality live for Phil btw. Should be cool
>>17508021this. im a shoot AEW tranny and even i cant help but get a little excited for mania.
>>17506894Ads.Nothing but fucking ads.A bunch of useless talking, promo montages and similar things, but probably also some cross promotion, a music performance, a fucking chicken suit coming out of a fucking egg, and so on.
>>17507217No, the only way to enjoy it is by not watching it.
>>17507755They did in 2019, the worst bowl of all time.
>>17506894I'll wait til it's over, I did that last year and I only watched the Cody match
>>17508227Its the biggest professional wrestling event of the year. Even if Haitch fumbles, it's still Wrestlemania. It has that appeal like the Superbowl. Even if you don't give a fuck about the teams playing, it has the larger than life feeling. It big time
>>17506894>each night is 9 hoursChrist. This is gonna be the best Wrestlemania in over a decade and mog AEW's whole existence but I'm watching this shit with copious skipping
>>17506975Now why the FUCK would it include that?
>>17506894>WM is gonna be 18 hours>time includes pre and post showSo then WM isn't gonna be 18 hours, pre and post show don't count, people don't watch that shit or just leave it on for background visual/noise
Don't both nights start at 7:00 Eastern? How TF they gonna be 9 hours long each, it's going know til 4am?
>>175072257-10 hours over 2 days isnt that bad. im watching the main show for each day.
>>17506894will be watching only the matches I wanna see. No way I'm watching New Gay vs the Viking Experience or the female nogs slop party
>>17506975>>17508326Edrones only include NXT when it suits them
>>17508632Same and so is everyone else on this board.
>>17509011>so is everyone else on this board.kek why are pEdrones such insecure pedos
>>175090117-10 hours over 2 days is like 4 hours a day. you can still do something with ur weekend.but if you actually watch all 18 hours of mania….lol. 9 hours a DAY OF WWE? youd have to be a shoot e drone
>>17509027You are watching and you will seethe... just like last year. Your tantrums will only get worse as the week goes on.>>17509070I'm not finna watch the pre-show/post-show bullshit. Ain't nobody got time for that.
Every entrance is drawn out as long as possible. Loads of video packages to make these midcard fumbled matches seem like a bigger deal than they are. Ads and sponsors and shilling and more. Half the show at best will be actual wrestling and its still tame and slow WWE style. Good thing I'm not American so I can watch it the next day and skip through all the shit and watch the bare few stuff that might be good.
The pre show is always ridiculously long and you ought to avoid it since they just play all the video packages that will air during the show
>>17507755Oh yeah, the Superbowl pre-game shows are like 6-7 hours long sometimes...and then there's usually more before that show.
what is the benefit to having a show that long?i know “ads”, but surely advertisers dont actually believe people are watching 7+ hours of bullshit filler before the actual show…right?
>>17509086>Every play is drawn out as long as possible. Loads of video packages to make these fumbled teams seem like a bigger deal than they are. Ads and sponsors and shilling and more. Half the show at best will be actual football and its still tame and slow NFL style. Good thing I'm not American so I can watch it the next day and skip through all the shit and watch the bare few stuff that might be good.Sounds like a good plan, you foreigner fucking bitch. Too bad nobody asked and nobody cares.
>>17509243No, Anon, you're much smarter than the people being paid 200-400k/year to work at these companies and look at the raw viewership data being shown to them by $127,500,000,000 company Comcast. Nevermind looking at the data that definitively shows who has turned in when, how much bandwidth they're using, which screen resolution they're using, when they pause or fast forward or turn the volume up or down - none of that matters. What matters is Anonymous on /pw/ and his expert use of rhetorical questions.You know much better than any of the experts. You, who works at a self-serve gas station and lives in a 2bd apartment with your ass-ugly girlfriend, knows much better than the professionals who have been doing this for decades.THANK YOU for your expert analysis, I don't know where this place would be without you.
>>17507248The pre-show is a leftover from when they'd make a last-minute pitch for ppv sales on USA, honestly not sure why they still do it
>>17509277i would assume that these “experts” know it just as well as you and i, nobody is watching that bullshit, and the 200k/year business analyst is just making up dodgy KPI’s that say its good for business. that being said the second part of your post was scarily accurate…
>>17509243There's like a 3 hour pre-show, the 3-4 hour show and a 2 hour post-show.There's no real con to it other than some fans trying to watch all of the pre-show and tuning out before the main show begins. They get to run ads. They get you to watch them instead of someone else.The show will pop up in more youtube feeds and they get to bump their numbers up. If you want to watch it, it's there. If you don't, you won't really miss anything of note. It's not even that expensive to really put on since all the people needed for it are already there.
>>17509341And most of it will be 2-3 fixed camera shots - the pre-show panel and a few backstage interviews here and there. As you said, it's filler content to get people to park their TVs/devices and watch (or ignore) at their own leisure.I'll never understand some people's need to force themselves to not only have an opinion, but to comment their often poorly-formulated opinion as tough it matters. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and they're entitled to share that opinion, but when you're sharing 175 impassioned opinions per day on topics that largely don't matter, it may be time to reassess priorities.
>>17507225TV will be on for the entirely of mania + stand and deliver, but most likely won't be actively watching most of it.
I skip the post-show but I watch the pre-show.
>>17508980Beats Dynamite every week, so it usually suits them
>>17508980this post will get ignored, too difficult for the dronies to confront
>>17509243Yes, advertisers don't fool themselves over this sort of thing.They know that people will tune out and do something else.They are also fully aware of the fact that the businesses, who also know about the ratings swing in a show that's this long, really wanna be part of Wrestlemania so that when those representatives go out and network on behalf of a company, they can brag that Company A was at Wrestlemania.They're not buying consumer interest with ads, they're buying stock market clout.
>>17507225The only acceptable tiers are the Reasonable Fan and Fumblemania Loremaster Incarnateeverything in-between is cringe
>>17507225reasonable fan reporting inwill be watching a bunch of indie shows tho too
>>17507225lot of quiet dronies not wanting to admit theyre watching 20+ hours of mania
>>17506936>3-5 hours of fumblingfpbp
>>17510432kek I noticed
>>17506936lmao
>>17507598Maybe I'll watch just that match.
>>17509277>anon drinks poison because a toxicologist said it would be safe he's the expert after all
>>17507578Shut up E-diot
>>17507578kek this e-diot boilin'>>17508021>Living Color is gonna do Cult of Personality livewow if only I hadn't already seen it 12 years ago>>17508289>so good he needs to skip it
Mania pre-show is usually 2 hours, and we'll be generous and say post-show is an hour. That cuts it down to six. HoF bullshit, PR bullshit, nigger music is at least another hour per night.So now we're at 5 hours. With all the pageantry, entrances, and most matches going 30+ that adds up.You know Cena/Cody will push an hour with entrences and all.The big triple threat will be close to an hour with just the march because it's a Seth Mania match.I think people underestimate the pageantry. The video packages, all the non-wrestling that happens.
>>17513813Man, so not only is it 16 hours, but it's 16 hours of SLOP. Yeah I'll watch Collision that night unless there's something better on.
>>17513819You're supposed to start the event when it'd halfway over and skip the women and nigger concerts.
>>17513858>when it'd halfwaysmartest e-drone
