Why the fuck is almost every match 5 minutes?
>>
>>20287862
thats how it should be. every match ending in 15 minutes with 3 minutes of finisher reversals has killed the biz
>>
>>20288119
I'm not saying every match needs to be a 20+ minute smarkbait banger but they aren't even giving them enough time to properly build and conclude their matches.
>>
>>20288119
Only the Main event should be longer

So I can play a few Screamer races in between matches.

You only need 5 minutes to have a Moment™ for social media engagement

WWE fans do not care about matches or wrestling. They care about entrances they can sing to and record on social media, they want "wrestlemania moments". modern WWE fans die when the match is going on, up until someone hits a finisher or does their pose/catchphrase.

Because you're paying for the privilege of watching commercials

E-sloppers don't actually care for pro wrestling, they just like watching the ads. Like people who don't care about football watching the Super Bowl.

>>20287862
turns out having guys wrestle the same 40 minute match 5 times in a row is boring as fuck

>e-drones think 15 minutes is a "long" match

AEWtards don't actually care for pro wrestling, they just like watching the face humping.

Maybe WWE should not be homogenised slop then

is this supposed to be better? Because it's not lol

People have said ads, but what about the fucking entrances? Holy shit.
Go back and watch WM from a decade ago; the entrances were longer than usual, but not out of the fucking match. Rock v Austin both dudes are in the ring within a minute or two of their music hitting.
Cody’s entrance was like 10 minutes. Roman just walked slow as fuck and then was slow as fuck to get into the ring. Even Dumbass Mysterio took his time being carried out in some shitty throne.

>>20295511
and the entrance themes aren't even good

This. Tiktok attention spans. More blatant/heavy- handed storytelling for optimal "second screen" viewing

Good. The best WrestleManias had a lot of short matches (17,19)
You only need one/two long bangers for each event

The optimal match length outside of the main event is 10-20 minutes
